#multilanguage

A multilanguage event aimed to preserve more language diversity on ao3.

Here's ao3 collection. It'll be revealed on December 4th.

Text version below:

If they have to say something in another language, like a name, it will be heavily accented, they won’t say it like it’s English

Multilingual people might have a hard time distinguishing languages that arent their first, and may mix them together in sentences

Translating expression directly that only make sense in one language

Adding sounds to English words because they don’t exist in their language (Eg: ‘Eschool’ in Spanish speakers instead of ‘school’)

If your character is a poet or author, consider the connotations of that language in written form. EG: Irish is a highly poetic language, and lends itself better to verse than English, so I would prefer to write more emotional things in Irish.

Not every word can be directly translated. Some concepts may exist in one language that don’t in English. This is a really good concept to use to make sure you’re actually exploring a characters culture, and not just making them multilingual for sex appeal or diversity points.

So why not let us pick and choose individually? I refuse to accept the answer "its too hard to implement, ooowoooo pwogrmming sho hawd u gais" and I don't accept "oooh but the lingo from other countries will get everyone confused!" (people don't go insane and clutch their heads, when a tv show from another country airs on PBS, and starts talking about stuff specific to that country only) or "but god forbid we have Koreans spending the american dollar in game! Thats offensive!"

Feels like a huge missed opportunity, what with all the work they did to make so much diverse cultural and language options, to be able to make people's islands and Mii's feel more real and diverse. It could even be educational too!

I thought I might try something a little bit different today, since Winx club content seems to do well on here.

So, here are my top ten favorite dubs of Magic Winx. :)

This is the thumbnail I would have used for a Sam and Max cartoon intro multilanguage video I made, but you can't edit thumbnails on YT anymore lol

Link to it here.

The video is blocked in most European and select Asian countries, so if you can't accesses it, the video is right below.
