I'm basically done with my translation draft and tomorrow I'm spending the day on QA/revision/proofreading. Since an Italian localization of the rules system AAW is based on already exists, I was wondering if I'm expected to abide by it when it comes to names or labels they have in common or if it's ok to pretend it doesn't exist and go with my personal rendition. I understand that in a real-life situation the former would be advisable—if you get to localize the next Star Wars film and have a Jedi say "May the Power follow you" your career might end abruptly—but for the purpose of this Jam I thought doing the latter (and maybe adding a translator's note to explain my choice) would be more fun. Would that be OK? Thank you

P.S. I Just realized I posted this in the wrong forum, I'm sorry. I probably spent way too much time in front of a screen today and need some sleep :(

I don't know what kind of horrible trauma teachers and clients inflicted to to you guys, but let me repeat it once more.

This is a jam, please do whatever takes your fancy. We'd love to see weird, experimental stuff. We even have a transcreation modifier for it.

Make it yours, make it cool, have fun!

Hello lupusyon! I'm no staff or else, just another translator doing the LocJam, but if it can help, I've decided to make my own terms. I've read Alain Dellepiane say numerous times, in other threads, to do as we please, so I think anything goes. The way I see it (well, feel it, since it's my first time), the LocJam seems to be all about what YOU think is a cool translation.

Plus, coming up with your own terms is the coolest part of translation.

Edit: well, I responded just one minute too late, but seems like I was right XD
