Our translators are video game localization experts

Did you know Asia and Europe were the largest video game markets with 1.48 billion and 715 million users respectively in 2021? In fact, China is the largest video game market, followed by the United States, Japan, South Korea, and Germany.  

If you confine your video game company only to English-speaking nations, you will not be able to scale your business to the next level. Translate your video games into Asian and European languages to build a solid international user base and maximize the income potential.

Video game localization does not only mean translating the game text into the local language. It involves going in-depth into adjusting the game to fit the values, cultures, preferences, and expectations of local gamers to provide them with a seamless gaming experience.

Our translators are game localization experts with years of experience localizing video games into 50+ languages. They come from different backgrounds, geographies, specializations, and cultures. They are multilingual translators who can translate your video game content from the source language to other top video-game-playing languages, such as English, Chinese, German, Russian, Japanese, French, Italian, Brazilian, Spanish, Korean, and Portuguese with equal proficiency.

Wide domain knowledge

Our localization team members have in-depth domain knowledge of the video games industry and live in the countries you target. We also have the most advanced algorithm that hand-picks a pool of native language translators, developers, testers, and localization experts, who can perfectly fit into your video game transcreation needs.

Technical experience

Our translators have a diverse range of technical skills, including game design, programming, computer-assisted translation (CAT), video game development, project management, research, writing, and proofreading. They are experts in adjusting graphics, cultural references, colors,  and symbols in the video game to ensure it resonates with the characteristics and lifestyles of local gamers.

Industry-focused 

With the experience of helping over a thousand companies to localize their video games, we understand the video games industry better than anybody else. Our translation team evaluates everything, including the social aspects of gaming, cultural sensitivities of the target audience, stringent regulatory requirements, and competitors’ products before creating a localization strategy for your video games.

Approved by third-party panels

We ensure our translators undergo rigorous third-party panel reviews and grade tests before assigning them to video game translation projects. On average, only one in 30 potential translators will get through our grade tests and panel reviews. This internal control system is helping us to deliver high-quality translations for our clients and maintain a 99% translation satisfaction rate.

Game engine integrations

Leverage our automated workflows customized for mobile game localization through our game engine integrations. Our localization platform supports all major gaming engines, including Unreal, Unity, Cocos2D, and more.

On-device testing

Test your translated video games before launching them in the real market.  Our On-device Localization Testing service will enable you to review your translations on actual devices and eliminate issues with gameplay, style guides, formats, layout, fonts, colors, and line breaks. Provide an impeccable UI and seamless gaming experience for your local gamers with the help of our professional testers.

Tailored project management

Every localization project is different. Some projects call for extra support from the translation company at various stages of the game translation process.

This is where our tailored project management service comes in!
