Project Details

Curious Expedition is a rogue-like expedition simulation set in the 19th century. Throughout the exploration of gigantic uncharted territories full of danger and treasures, the players will have to prove their bravery and ingenuity facing the unknown. The story is based on a decision-making dynamic that makes the path and gaming experience of every player different.

When I was first presented with this translation task I didn't know what I was about to discover. In order to do my job as perfect as possible I first searched the project to see for myself what I was translating. For my own surprise I found out that Curious Expedition is a really interesting game that lets you control all those fantastic explorers that I have read on books; it goes from Charles Darwin to Roald Amundsen and many others.

Being an adventure writer myself I must admit that I wish I had more time to play it!

The game is available on Steam, GOG, Humble Store and at the official homepage http://curious-expedition.com.

1. Translation Overview

Day 26 on the Curious Expedition followed the same routine as previously reported. All the strings translated are part of the Main Game folder, where the sentences are part of long in-game story telling and dialogues with occasional menu options.

Due to the phrases being composed of multiple choice sentenses that are randomly generated by the game, the workflow had to be interrupted several times to think of ways to make the phrase concise. Apart from that the work flow has been great and soon the project will be concluded.

• [$name took the lead.|$name brushed past me to the the front|$name insisted he heard a whining noise in the distance and decided to take the lead.] While walking a few steps behind I noticed $him constantly scratching $his neck and I saw something that looked like [a ghastly bite wound.|an oozing gap.|a pulsating pustule.|a moving hive of insects just under his skin.|an oddly coloured mushroom breaking through his skin.] I wondered how $he could not have noticed getting it [and told $him to keep monitoring this...thing.|and to just stop scratching - what an unseemly habit.|to get a professional have a look at it back home.|and grew more tense.]

• [$name assumiu a liderança.|$name empurrou-me e passou para a frente|$name insistiu que tinha ouvido um barulho de alguém chorando à distância e decidiu assumir a liderança.] Enquanto eu andava a apenas alguns passos atrás, reparei que $him estava constantemente coçando o seu pescoço e vi alguma coisa que parecia [uma ferida de picada horríve.luma ferida aberta que escorria.|um tumor inflamado.|um enxame de insetos debaixo da sua pele.|um estranho cogumelo de cor estranha que rebentava da sua pele.] Pensei em como $he não tinha reparado [e disse a $him para continuar monitorando aquela... coisa.|e disse-lhe para parar de coçar - que hábito tão impróprio.|e disse-lhe para deixar que um profissional visse aquilo assim que voltasse para casa.|enquanto aquilo crescia.]

End point on Main Game files (English/Portuguese)

• [$Name snapped the mirror right out of my hands - how rude!|I was explaining $name how this mirror could be used to watch the sun, when I noticed $he was transfixed by it|Just when I started making out...something reflecting in the mirror, $Name twitched it out of my hands.|I needed a second opinion on the object, so I showed the mirror to $name.] $His mirror image began to [shift|slither|tremble|take almost corporeal form]. When I came to me again, there were two of $him standing over me. [We discussed the ethical ramifications for hours and reached no conclusion.|Double the labor, quite useful, I’d say!|I wondered whether they would share their pay or if I had to double it.| Now, if only I could harvest the power of the mirror.|One of the two seemed to have a coldness in their eyes that I did not know from $Name, but I suppose this was just my exhaustion speaking.]

• [$Name arrancou o espelho das minhas mãos - que rude!|Eu estava explicando a $name como este espelho podia ser usado para olhar para o sol, quando reparei que $he estava olhando fixamente para ele|Quando eu finalmente consegui que... alguma coisa refletisse no espelho, $Name arrancou-o das minhas mãos.|Eu precisava de uma segunda opinião do objeto, por isso mostrei o espelho a $name.] A sua imagem começou a [mudar|arrastar-se|tremer|quase materializar-se]. Quando retomei os sentidos, havia dois $name à minha volta. [Discutimos as ramificações éticas durante horas mas não chegamos a nenhuma conclusão|Dobrar o trabalho, bastante útil, eu diria!|Perguntei-me se eles iriam partilhar o salário ou se eu teria que pagar dobrado.|Agora, se ao menos eu conseguisse explorar o poder do espelho.|Um deles parecia mostrar uma frieza nos olhos que eu não reconhecia em $Name, mas penso que talvez fosse apenas o meu cansaço.]

2. Languages

This translation was made from English to Portuguese.

For the past two years, I worked as a basic to intermediate level English teacher at a local school, expanding greatly my knowledge of the English and Portuguese grammar/vocabulary. Now I'm a full time content creator using English as my main language.

I volunteered to translate two different projects for the brazilian community, which served as a sample for my application on the Da-Vinci/Utopian Portuguese Translation Team, where I'm currently working.
