The Legend of Tianding

“The Legend of Tianding” is an exhilarating action-adventure game with a beautiful visual style reminiscent of traditional Chinese manga, filled with mysteries, kung fu, and a captivating narrative. As a translator involved in localizing this game, I found myself in a universe where cultural nuances meet the essence of an epic story.

Participating in the translation of “The Legend of Tianding” was an exciting journey. From capturing intricate dialogues to conveying the depth of the characters, every aspect demanded meticulous attention. I sought not only to maintain linguistic precision but also to preserve cultural subtleties and the narrative's essence for the Brazilian audience.

The game's tale unfolds in early 20th-century Taipei, following Liao Tianding, a legendary outlaw on his journey for justice and the freedom of the people of Taiwan. Each mission, each interaction with the characters, was an opportunity to weave the beauty of the original narrative into Portuguese, ensuring an immersive experience for Brazilian players.

Moreover, “The Legend of Tianding” addresses historical geopolitical issues involving China, Taiwan, and Japan, often unfamiliar to many Brazilians. My role in the translation of this game allowed me to not only convey the engaging narrative, but also provided me with valuable knowledge about the complexity of these geopolitical relations. Delving into the translation, I was able to get in touch with historical and cultural nuances from these regions, enriching my understanding of a topic often less explored in the Brazilian context. This immersion represented both a linguistic challenge, and an opportunity to broaden my knowledge about the history and geopolitics of East Asia.
