E05: "Phrenchasy Star" with BGE - Talking translation choices with the fanslator of the Frech PSIV

BGE, creator of the French fan version of Phantasy Star IV, on why he loves Phantasy Star enough to take this on, and how he made it happen. Great insight on fan translations from a bilingual programmer!

Part 1 of 3, covering:

-How do you make someone speak "old timey" in French?

-The things we do for our kids (e.g. translate an entire videogame)

-How do you translate already-poorly-translated things into another language?
