As many of you know, at #BeVersa, we’re not only board game enthusiasts — we also specialize in translating and editing games! ??? On the weekend of November 2nd, we had the fantastic opportunity to attend the National Board Game Gathering (Encuentro Nacional de Juegos de Mesa, #ENJM) in Mar del Plata. It was a unique experience where we connected with passionate entrepreneurs who have brought fascinating games to life. ?? We had the chance to chat with Martín and María from Mente Criminal, who shared insights into creating their games… entirely from scratch! ?? We also met Pepo, who shares his passion for composting ?? in a fun and engaging way through his game ???????????????????? ????????, which even won best family game! ?? Another highlight was meeting the team from Super Noob, who is always working on exciting new projects. Their latest game, ????????í?? ??????????é??, won the top prize in the general category. ???? And, of course, we couldn’t resist playing a round of ?????????????????? with the Juegos Fsoc team. Our very own meme queen, Sofia Castro Domenech, took the win! ?? We loved it so much that we bought one for our next team get-together. ?? It’s always inspiring to participate in these initiatives and meet so many dedicated creators. Huge congratulations to all the teams who shared their passion with us at the ENJM! ?? Did you make it to this year’s gathering? We’d love to hear your thoughts! ?? And who’s planning to join us at the next one? #BeVersaTranslations #BoardGameTranslation #GameLocalization #Localization -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- At #BeVersa, we’re here to help you with your #translation and #transcreation needs.

??? Did you know that board game translation is a fascinatingly complex field? ??? Translating board games goes far beyond simply converting words. Here are some intriguing insights into this unique process. 1?? ???????? ?????????? ?????? ????????????????????: Instructions are not just translated, but they’re also adapted to ensure clarity and understanding in each culture. ? ???? ?????????????????has been translated into over 47 languages and tailored for more than 103 countries! The original board features iconic streets and landmarks from the US. However, in translated versions, these are replaced with local favorites that resonate with each region. 2?? ???????? ??????????: Many games include names or phrases without direct equivalents in other languages. ? ????? Take ????????/????????????, for example. The original UK name combines “clue” and “ludo” (Latin for “I play”). In the US, however, the term “ludo” isn’t common, so the title was simplified to ???????? to make it more relatable for American players. 3?? ???????????????? ??????????????????????: What’s funny or familiar in one country might not resonate in another. As translators, we must thoroughly understand each context to adapt games effectively, ensuring that players everywhere can enjoy them while respecting local cultural references. ? ???? For instance, when ?????????????? ?????????????? launched in various markets, questions were localized for each country. A baseball question, popular in the US, wouldn’t make much sense in Europe. In the Spanish version, you’ll find questions about notable figures from Spain, while the French version dives into local literature, politics, and culture. What’s your favorite game?

We’re always on the lookout for creative #slogans and brand messages, and we love finding fun ways to transcreate them into #English! This week, one of our amazing translators specialized in #wine and #viticulture ??, Laura Peirano, brought us a fun challenge. #TranslationTip: When transcreating messages like these, it’s crucial to collaborate closely with the #marketing team to ensure the result is not only culturally appropriate but also on-brand and aligned with the original intent. ?? In this case, we wanted to keep the mention of #Uco, since the region’s unique characteristics shine through in the wine. ?? However, while the Argentinian audience may easily recognize Uco as a region in #Mendoza, #Argentina, that context might not be as clear to visitors coming across the ad for the first time. To bridge this gap, we added a little note at the bottom. ?? Slide to see what Google Translate came up with. ?? What do you think? We’d love to read your ideas! ?? Special shoutout to Finca La Celia! We were lucky enough to stay there during our team-bonding trip to Mendoza last March, and we loved every second of it. ? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- At #BeVersa, we’re here to help you with your #translation and #transcreation needs.

The other day, we came across a sign at an ice cream shop in #Argentina that read, “?????? ?????????? ???? ???????????? ????????????.” ??

Here are a few fun ways we brought that wordplay to life in #English: ?? A scoopin’ long time together ?? Together for ice ages ?? We’ve been chillin’ together for years So, what’s your favorite?
