As an example from video games, sometimes you might have to translate more than the spoken text, but screams, laughs, and other "non-spoken" sounds.

- throwanem 10y agoThat seems counter-intuitive. Is there anyone you know of who's written on the topic? I would like to know more.
- hibbelig 10y agoIt took me a long time to understand that "oink" is a sound that a pig makes, and it's not related in any way to the sound that Tigger makes when jumping around on his tail. And "ewww" (expression of disgust) in Cantonese sounds _very_ different... (I'm not an expert in "ewww" but the Cantonese version is the best I've heard :-) )
- malkia 10y agoThanks good example! From memory I think we ended up putting different scream/excite sounds for the french version on game I worked on.
