Excellent- More about On-Screen Language in Video Games: A Translation Perspective
The authors analyze a data set of Polish localizations of Tom Clancy's The Division 2 and Shadow Warrior 2, focusing on the translational dimension of on-screen language (OSL). They categorize visual-verbal stimuli by prominence in the 3D environment and identify OSL functions, proposing a supplementary distinction based on technical implementation. The discussion includes input from a lead level developer to provide a professional perspective on OSL and its translation.

The authors delve into the translational aspect of on-screen language (OSL) in this Element. They analyze a comprehensive data set encompassing the Polish localizations of Tom Clancy's The Division 2 and Shadow Warrior 2, which yielded over 1000 unique and meaningful OSL instances, predominantly in languages other than Polish. To provide a thorough typological account of OSL, close to 100 representative examples are examined.
The first typology categorizes visual-verbal stimuli based on their prominence within the 3D environment. The second typology focuses on identifying the functions of OSL. Additionally, a supplementary typological distinction is proposed based on the technical implementation of OSL, whether it is static or dynamic.
The discussion of findings and implications includes valuable input from an interview conducted with a lead level developer behind Shadow Warrior 2, offering a complementary professional perspective on OSL and its translation.
This Element contributes to the understanding of OSL by exploring its translational dimensions and shedding light on the diverse practices and considerations involved in its translation across different media and languages.
