We foolishly thought sending a spreadsheet to random freelancers would work, but players absolutely trashed us in the reviews for terrible context errors and broken interfaces. It makes you realize that adapting a project is a massive step-by-step process where you need native speakers who actually understand gaming, proper glossaries, and tons of technical QA testing. Lately, my team and I have just been relying on Pangea for our builds because they handle everything from cultural adaptation to actual UI checks, which completely saves us the headache. Don't risk doing it manually or you'll just burn out and ruin your first impression.
