El próximo 1 de abril, Miguel Bernal dará una charla en la City University de Londres sobre la localización de videojuegos. Dada la escasez de actos y conferencias sobre el tema, sería muy interesante conocer de primera mano los puntos de vista que tiene Miguel sobre esta disciplina. Si tenéis curiosidad por esta rama y podéis ir, seguro que merece la pena. La información que aparece en la Web es la siguiente:

«What is Game Localisation?»
Miguel Á. Bernal-Merino
Lecturer in Media Translation, Roehampton University London
Multimedia entertainment software comprehends a wide variety of products from the educational to the purely recreational.
This lecture concentrates specifically on those products widely available to the general public that we normally call video games.
We will start with a brief overview of the game industry and then explain and analyse the very important role game localisation companies and translators play in this multimillion industry.
The presentation will make use of a wide array of examples in order to illustrate major issues and current practice in game localisation.
