Chapter Ninety-Seven: Just Beginning [Asking for Recommendation Votes!First Update]

Hundreds of years ago, missionaries in the West had an unusual hobby of designing languages for different countries.

They do not do this out of pure "good intentions", but because it does so in a way that actually benefits them.

The reason why a country can be called a country is that it has a unified language and writing.

If the missionaries could design a set of different languages according to the different accents of different languages, it would not be long before these originally unified countries would become independent kingdoms because of different languages.

For what the forces behind the missionaries are pursuing, it is easier and easier to deal with the countless scattered small nations than a large one.

If it weren't for Chang Kaishen, maybe people somewhere would have been divided because of language segregation.

At least, for East Asia.

Whether it is South Korea, North Korea, or Vietnam, in a broad sense, they are all part of the Chinese cultural circle. Although it is not the same species, it is the same text.

But after the abolition of Chinese characters and the separation of languages and scripts, these countries have become countries with "independent cultures".

And because of the Latinization of the characters, characters with the same pronunciation, such as "name" and "ming", "shiyuhao" and "sewol", gradually became indistinguishable.

The reason why Takahashi researched these is because when he was localizing "Game of Destiny" to various countries, he encountered many countries with relatively similar languages and scripts.

However, despite the high degree of similarity, two sets of translations must be used.

For example, although the official language of Mexico is Spanish, it cannot be Westernized, but must be blackened.

Carrying out so many localization projects at the same time, there is actually some pressure on Wanhu.

However, the current 10,000 households are really rich and capricious because of the sales of "Tetris" handheld machines all over the world. When you hire a translation team, you have a lot of money and the quality of your translations is very good.

The translation of a hundred cards, as well as the rules and backgrounds, progressed much faster than expected.

However, it does not mean that the translation is over after one pass.

Since different cards are translated by different people, although each word has a designated official translation, the language style of the cards translated by different people is not uniform.

Therefore, after one translation, there are several proofreadings. Make sure there are no mistakes in the translation process and that all cards have the same style.

Of course, there is also the problem that many countries have some evasive points that foreigners seem inexplicable and cannot understand. For example, China's forgiveness is to be circumvented.

The whole translation work can also be said to be more complicated.

Takahashi also wanted to keep the translation teams from various countries and use them in the future, but he was not sure if he could have enough things to translate for these people. You can't spend most of your time without work, so let's raise a bunch of idlers.

The countries that Sega has already entered are better to say, directly from card translation, to game translation. But what about other third world countries that can't afford cheap entertainment like video game consoles?

That's right!

There is one more interesting thing.

It is that after Wanhu has localized most countries so carefully, the cards of "Destiny Game" have been naturally locked.

As a physical card, it can't be like a video game or something, making a one-click switch language function. Whatever words are printed on it, it is what it is.

In this way, 10,000 households can implement different pricing strategies according to the actual economic level of each country, without worrying about the dissatisfaction of players from other countries.

Actually, Takahashi was completely overthinking.

What's there to be up to?

And why are you dissatisfied?

In this day and age, even the United States, the first country to develop the Internet, has a slow network speed and can only transmit some text. The vast majority of the rest of the world does not even have the rudiments of the Internet.

Transnational connections and then dissatisfaction happens, unless you keep going abroad physically, it's not so easy to communicate in this era.

However, Takahashi's mindset cannot be said to be wrong. Maybe one day, the speed of the Internet will develop like a convulsion, and players will be able to communicate?

The northern hemisphere has entered winter, and on November 11th, in addition to the original version of "Game of Destiny", "Game of Destiny" in other countries will be released simultaneously.

The reason why it was chosen to be released on such a day is that it will be released at the same time as the whole holiday. Although it will have a greater impact on the warehousing and manufacturing system of 10,000 households.

However, it was also used as a stress test. After all, in a little more than a month, it will be Christmas in the Western world. At that time, the shopping frenzy was the time when all links of the production chain were most tested.

Due to the gratifying results of Tetris handheld in the United States last year, Nickelodeon and these large supermarket chains have made it much easier to talk about the entry of Destiny Games in supermarkets this year. The terms are not as harsh as they used to be.

And now the world's largest weather vane is the United States, and the large supermarket chains in the United States feel that the products of 10,000 households can be.

Naturally, it has become easier to talk about in other countries.

On the other hand, it has been a few months since the release of "Game of Destiny", and local tyrant players may have collected all the cards and moved towards the goal of all gold cards.

For ordinary casual players, the cards collected are about half of the first set of cards, that is, about fifty.

In addition, the resulting deck can be repeated with three cards per pair.

As a result, you will be able to play normally.

At such a point in time, a point in time when the winter vacation is about to begin. Wanhu naturally followed the previous routine and began to hold the competition again.

"Takahashi's Party" has been running for nearly two years, from the very beginning, Takahashi was on the show every day, and it has evolved into Takahashi's last show once a month.

And other programs are hosted by the performing arts companies under Wanhu and the signed hosts.

And these hosts have also accumulated a lot of popularity because of hosting "Takahashi's Party". Therefore, the on-site host of the organization of the competition this time is no longer Takahashi alone.

It's a multi-directional attack, although it's still a national tour.

However, whether it is the professionalism of the hosting team, the professionalism of the video team, or the sponsorship scale of Toyota, which has a good relationship with Wanhu because of "Initial D", it has reached another level.

And the trend caused by Wanhu's "Game of Destiny" has just begun.
