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.

Contribution Specifications

1. Translation Overview

This is my 3rd contribution and I worked on the Mod: Apes files. The strings translated today were in game dialogues where some adjustments were necessary to adapt pronouns and verbs to Portuguese. Fortunately, the LM and I found a solution to the strings variables and work will become more fluid from now on.

Starting/End point on Mod: Apes files (English)

• [I|We|The trek|Our trek|Our group] [arrived|entered|stopped] at the outpost. We were greeted by a slaver and a court shaman. [The place was dirty|It was a place of hopelessness and sorrow|The place reeked of the dark side of humanity|It was a well-secured but mobile encampment|The camp was littered with filth|An acrid stench of human excrement brought tears to my eyes] and [cages filled with slaves were strewn throughout the area|comprised of a collection of cages filled with intimidated prisoners|several large cages were filled with all kinds of different people].

• [This expedition could potentially lift me into first place and above my rivals|It was a close race for first place and the enviable prize of the Ape Emperor's good graces|My past raids and tributes had been quite successful and I felt I was soon to see my face on an honorary statue]. [Word about this had spread in the Imperial Capital|My exploits were well-known|My reputation preceded me], [and many Apes came to see our ship|attracting a few enterprising Apes to my cause|so many new recruits arrived at the ship, willing to join our raiding party]. Who did I want to recruit?

• [Eu havia|Nós haviamos|A expedição havia|Nossa expedição havia|Nosso grupo havia] [chegado|entrado|parado] no posto avançado. Fomos recebidos por um traficante de escravos e um xamã da corte. [O lugar estava sujo|Era um lugar de desesperança e tristeza|O lugar exalava o lado escuro da humanidade|Era um acampamento bem seguro mas móvel|O acampamento estava cheio de imundície|Um fedor punjente de excremento humano trouxe lágrimas para os meus olhos] e [gaiolas cheias de escravos estavam espalhadas por toda a área|por alí havia uma coleção de gaiolas cheias de prisioneiros intimidados|várias gaiolas grandes estavam cheias de todo tipo de pessoas diferentes].

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.
