External translators who've worked on major franchises including The Legend of Zelda and Animal Crossing have been refused credits and locked into decade-long NDAs.

That’s really sad. What’s worse that Nintendo isn’t the only one, apparently it happens a lot in the gaming industry.

    I always thought Nintendo had an internal team of translators, at least for their big titles.

      They do. But they use external translators too.

      BTW the article mentions that their company / agency was mentioned in the credits, just not the individual translators.
