The Chinese language and the Italian language are two distant worlds, difficult to bring together, even more difficult if the goal is to produce an excellent translation of a video game with characters and objects immersed in imaginary worlds. 

 

In this workshop a professional translator, Chiara Covatta, will share practical examples, and help workshop attendees to find solutions to possible linguistic problems in translating video game materials into this linguistic combination, starting from genres such as role-playing and adventure video games and ending with online casinos. Chiara will also share tips on how to manage the main problems that may arise during a translation project of this type.

Chiara has been a professional translator for 14 years, translating from English and Chinese into Italian.

She possesses a deep understanding of the cultures of English-speaking countries and Asia, specializing in the fields of video games, law, commerce, and tourism. Chiara has held the position of a sworn translator at the Ancona Court for several years and is also a teacher of English, Chinese, and Italian for foreigners. Additionally, she is an expert in video games, continuously enhancing her knowledge through courses and workshops abroad.
