Translation moves words. Localization moves the story.
Writers asking how to translate a story need more than swapped words. Localization carries the joke behind a name, the food on the table, and references a new reader would otherwise miss. Sherpa adapts idioms, names and salutations along with the plot.
- Start from a chapter or a series you have already written
- The plot stays put, only the distance to the reader changes
- A name that means something is rewritten so it still means something
