A Bit About Localization
content auto translated from {from}

Friends!

We want to share some behind-the-scenes insights from the very heart of the company, where work is underway on localizing the wonderful game "Dofus". In this post, you'll learn a little more about the upcoming translation of the game.

Here are a few amusing screenshots that demonstrate the current state of localization. We hope you enjoy the good-natured humor of the World of Twelve!

There has been considerable debate among long-time fans of the game regarding the Russian names of the classes, some of which differ from those commonly used on European servers. We are happy to explain what guided us in the translation. By the way, these options were enthusiastically approved by the game's developers.

All classes in Dofus are named for a reason, and there is a hidden meaning behind them. In most cases, it is easy to uncover it - just read the name in reverse.

Names based on words that have full equivalents in Russian were left practically unchanged. These include:

Sadida

**

Ozamodas

Aniripsa

Sram

Iop

Pandawa

Kefar

**

Rams

In the last two examples, we used an anagram to avoid unnecessary associations with words in the Russian language (the original names are Feca and Sram).

In the translation of these names, we aimed to preserve and clearly convey the meanings embedded in the original:

Victim - this is the translation of the name Sacrier, which emphasizes the essence of the class: the combat technique is based on a constant readiness to sacrifice oneself, uttering loud cries.

Little Eagle - our translation variant for the complex name Ecaflip, which is based on the French word "pileface" - it's a game of coin tossing, in Russian - "heads-tails".

Cool - a name constructed by analogy with the original. Cra comes from Arc, meaning "bow".

Treasure Hunter (Enutrof - fortune) - a name that not only hints at the significant role of luck in this character's life but also reflects his passion for accumulating wealth.

Preparation for the **closed beta testing** continues! We will strive to continue sharing with you the little joys of the work process and the latest news!
