Hi!
Here is a a request from Chinese Fans community of "World of Darkness" series. I am a translator from this fan community, my team and I are working on the Chinese localization of the game "Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodline". Most of us gathered because of VtMB holds a special significance in the WoD and Interplay, Troika, Obsidian Chinese fan community due to VtMB is the only western RPG from Troika that didnt get Chinese localization for almost 20 years. Unfortunately, when we were 70% of the way through the translation, we encountered programmatic problems, and the planetvampire forums, which were originally intended for discussion, were unavailable to login, this led us to hope that we could establish contact with members of Xbox and Activision, then pass on our translated game texts to former members of the Troika team.

After establishing Contact with Paradox Interactive, the owner of World of Darkness series, and Obsidian Entertainment, the former developer of VtMB, I learned that the game "VtMB" is now owned by Activision, so I'm hoping to localize the game through Xbox employees at the various studios.

Finally, Thank you for your time and patience on reading this request, and I look forward to your reply.

Hello Lawrence Talisman,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

We appreciate your diligent work in translating game text. We understand you are looking for the collaboration of your community and Xbox, as well as other game studios, to translate game text for everyone to enjoy.

As we are not the right people you should reach out to, we strongly believe that translating game text is a role hired internally. We appreciate this question, and we hope that you reach out to the hiring team of each game developer so you may showcase your passion and ability.

We hope you have a great day!

Sincerely,

Microsoft Community Moderator

The current #1 development I'm excited for.

I signed up to test a couple months back, but havent heard back yet. I'm really hoping to get in. I've been an insider for I think 4 years now, & try like that we can be involved with the direction Microsoft takes Xbox.

Thats not to say some things are still in need of attention, but this is a great step for fans, and I would put my money on this being a great move by Xbox.

Deleted statement about VR with xbox needing attention, just saw the Project scarlett.

I read the game informer article about it yesterday. Its great that Matt and Trey are actually involved with this project and overseeing the script for it. I have been a huge SP fan since the debut episode, this could be a huge surprise if its done right.
