[Translation][Portuguese] The Curious Expedition from English (1520 words) Day 13
Repository
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
Continuing with the translations on Curious Expedition, more precisely on the Main Game folder. The strings translated are a continuation of the previous translation, where most of them represent in-game dialogues and story telling. The exciting part about working on those strings, is that the translator get to have a gimpse of how the game is and throughout the work it feels like reading a book.
The biggest challenges are adapting the conjugations to gender neutral, as Portuguese differentiates the conjugation depending on the subject.

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.
