Geopolitical Issues
I was reading an interesting
post of Raymond Chen about time zones and world map.
In one of my previous work experience we had a similar problem.
We built a multiplayer touchscreen enabled game localized in most of the european languages, to be placed in shops, bar, pubs, discoteques, and so on.
We sent more than two hundred copies to Greece to be tested in all the country.
After a week the distributor sent back all the copies because there were some questions in one of the game regarding the not so good relationships that there was in the past between Greece and other states in that area.
Our translator (a very nice greek girl...) didn't told us anything about that fact, and we had to rebuild the software without all the bad questions...
Never trust somebody that gets paid based on the quantity of the things that he/she translate... :-)
