For Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori, our free mobile game Colibrium is now translated into the Kāi Tahu dialect of te reo Māori, which is the local dialect where we are based, in Ōtepoti/Dunedin. It is one of very few mobile video games in te reo Māori.

Voice recognition for reminders is really useful, but not so much when it misunderstands what you said… I got this reminder: “Fix the logic in kilogram to show the name of to beauty four Crater” and it took me quite a while to figure out what I had actually said to my phone to be reminded of! 😆😂🤣

(In case you’re wondering, it was “Fix the logic in Colibrium to show the name Ōtepoti for Kāi Tahu”).

So many things use video game principles nowadays to motivate you to participate. The handy public transport app ‘Transit’ that I use to plan my bus trips even has a competition to see who can help the most passengers by providing information about how full the bus is and whether it’s on time. The leaderboard of people who provide the most information is filled with funny nicknames and icons for all the different riders in the competition. I’m currently 68th place of all time and I bike much more often than I bus! 😄👍🏻

As Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori comes to a close for another year, this article may come in handy showing you how to type tohutō (macrons), the lines over some vowels in te reo Māori which indicate a longer version of the vowel's sound. The article covers how to do this on mobile phones, tablets and computers. 🪄📱💻

When writing in te reo Māori, it’s important to include the line above vowels in some kupu (words), since it changes the pronunciation and even the meaning in some cases. The line is called ‘...

The translation of my video game Colibrium into te reo Māori was featured in an article in the Otago Daily Times today!

It's also great to see they included tohutō (macrons) in the print article.

I accidentally gave the wrong location of the certified translator Taurapa Ltd (www.taurapa.co.nz) during the interview - they are actually based in Ō Tautahi (Christchurch), and were great to work with. I am investigating a translation into Kāi Tahu dialect for a future release of Colibrium.

Kia ora! I've just received Māori translation phrases for my game Colibrium this week from a certified translator, and am excited to be almost ready to release an update of Colibrium in te reo! Some of the font sizes need tweaking to fit properly, but here's a preview of what it looks like. 😄

Currently I’m loving playing Luna: The Shadow Dust with my 5-year-old daughter. A beautiful adventure game with clever puzzles to solve.

Behind the veil of reality, lies an enchanted world. When the world lost its balance, it fell upon a boy to take on an unexpected journey. Until the moon rises again, the order of the world will not be restored. One cannot go back in time to correct his mistake. Whatever happened is irreversible…o...
