Project Details
Curious Expedition is a rogue-like expedition simulation set in the 19th century. Throughout the exploration of gigantic uncharted territories full of danger and treasures, the players will have to prove their bravery and ingenuity facing the unknown. The story is based on a decision-making dynamic that makes the path and gaming experience of every player different.
When I was first presented with this translation task I didn't know what I was about to discover. In order to do my job as perfect as possible I first searched the project to see for myself what I was translating. For my own surprise I found out that Curious Expedition is a really interesting game that lets you control all those fantastic explorers that I have read on books; it goes from Charles Darwin to Roald Amundsen and many others.
Being an adventure writer myself I must admit that I wish I had more time to play it!
The game is available on Steam, GOG, Humble Store and at the official homepage http://curious-expedition.com.

1. Translation Overview
The more I progress on Curious Expeditions, the more I like this project. Even though most of the strings are not as complex as many other technical projects, the whole story-telling just grabs my attentions.
I would also like to point, once more, that the communications with the LM and the developers is always responsive and instantaneous, making the whole work more professional.
Today was the 11th day and I started with the translation of some new strings on the previously finished Curious Expeditions: Rivals files, meaning that the devs modified some strings. After that I continued with the Main Game files, where I'm translating the dialogues and stories presented in the game.

2. Languages
This translation was made from English to Portuguese.
For the past two years, I worked as a basic to intermediate level English teacher at a local school, expanding greatly my knowledge of the English and Portuguese grammar/vocabulary. Now I'm a full time content creator using English as my main language.
I volunteered to translate two different projects for the brazilian community, which served as a sample for my application on the Da-Vinci/Utopian Portuguese Translation Team, where I'm currently working.
