The translator asked for more information, so we decided that Nicholas’s cousin, who was mentioned in one of the events, would be older than him (表哥). For example, unlike in European languages, the correct Chinese translation may depend on who is older or younger, and whether a relative is on the mother’s or father’s side. It’s important to remember the details when you’re working with Asian languages that have very specific family terminology. ![]() Seekers Notes has a deep and detailed world where the relationships between characters are fully fleshed-out.
