Congratulations on the launch of Silksong, @teamcherry.bsky.social!

However, it is a shame to see that the care with which the game was crafted does not extend to the French localization, which is riddled with errors.

(Descriptions of the mistakes provided in the ALT text.) (1/3) #Silksong
Text in the game: "nous sommes déjà mit". This is a grammar error. The verb is incorrectly conjugated. The correct sentence should be "nous sommes déjà mis". Text in the game: "Mais je peux le vois à ta posture". This is a typo that results in a grammar mistake, as the verb "Voir" is mispelled. The correct sentence should be "Mais je peux le voir à ta posture". This error is probably due to having rephrased the sentence from "Mais je le vois à ta posture", which would have been correct. These types of errors are not uncommon, but are usually caught at the proofreading step. Text in the game: "Je bientôt partir". The verb is missing here. This sentence should be "Je vais bientôt partir" or maybe "Je dois bientôt partir". Text in the game: "Donne-moi les épines et je me mettrai tout mon talent à ton service." The sentence was clearly rephrased, but words from the first version were kept in, making it unintelligible. It should either be "et je mettrai tout mon talent à ton service" or "et je me mettrai à ton service". These types of errors are not uncommon, but are usually caught at the review step.

Hi everyone,
I'm Maxime, and I've been a translator (EN>FR) for almost 10 years now. 🤔 I'm lucky enough to be localizing video games, and believe #TranslatorsInTheCredits is the way to go. 🎮
