Character voice is more than choosing tú or usted

A recurring character’s Spanish dialogue used inconsistent forms of address.

01

Problem

A recurring character’s Spanish dialogue used inconsistent forms of address.

02

Context

The Russian source deliberately distinguishes polite address from explicit shifts to an informal register.

03

Solution

Compared the character’s lines across scenes and repaired only the unsupported shifts. Informal moments present in the source were retained instead of applying a global replacement.

04

Verification

Rechecked the repairs in the integrated catalog, preserved exact IDs and control sequences, and ran static regression checks.

05

Result

A more consistent character voice without flattening meaningful changes in register.
