When Jeremy Blaustein had to translate “現地調達” (genchi chōtatsu, local acquisitions) for Metal Gear Solid, he coined the term OSP or “on-site procurement,” a term that went on to be used by other games and continues…</p>

Florian<p>When I started the IC_Null channel the idea was to cover topics primarily about <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/cybersecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cybersecurity</span></a>, <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/hacking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hacking</span></a>, <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/pentesting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pentesting</span></a> etc. from a <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/blind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>blind</span></a> perspective. Blind as in <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/screenReader" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>screenReader</span></a> user, that is. But an overarching topic is showing off what jobs are (up to a point) doable for this demographic and where the obstacles are. Today's stream leans that way: we'll be looking at the premier <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/translation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>translation</span></a> and <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/localization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>localization</span></a> tool, Trados Studio. Supposedly they have upped their <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>accessibility</span></a> as of late. I'll be the judge of that 💀<br>I'll see you all on <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/youtube" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>youtube</span></a> and <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/twitch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>twitch</span></a> just under 1.5 hours from now. https://twitch.tvic_null <a href="https://youtube.com/@blindlyCoding" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">youtube.com/@blindlyCoding</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/selfPromo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>selfPromo</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/stream" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>stream</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/trados" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>trados</span></a></p>
