Indie game localization · Paid test scope

Test the Chinese before you commit the whole script.

A small English-to-Simplified-Chinese review for AI/MT output, Steam copy and UI strings. We preserve placeholders, separate terminology questions from writing fixes and flag meaning changes instead of polishing them away.

Protected tokens

Variables, tags, controller labels, numbers and line-break instructions remain visible and are checked against the source.

Player-facing wording

Awkward literal text is rewritten for concise Simplified Chinese while source meaning remains the approval boundary.

Issue notes

Material changes and uncertain terminology are listed so the developer can decide, not silently guessed.

Fictional UI sample

Demonstration only; not client work and not a claim of shipped-title experience. Download the sample issue log as CSV.

Scope boundary: written file review only. This page does not claim professional game-localization history, build testing, native-speaker credentials, cultural marketing or full-game delivery. A playable-build LQA, narrative script or regulated content requires a separate scope and may be declined.
