JPButton.com has posted Part II of their translation of the Famitsu Xbox 360 Interview with the Localization team for FFXI.

INTERVIEW #5 The Job of Localization

Final Fantasy XI (FFXI) is not just published in Japanese, but English, German, and French as well. When version updates or expansion discs are released, all four versions are released at the same time.

In this part of the interview, we talk about how they translate the unique ways different characters talk and about the challenges that arise from grammar differences in each language.
