Games Translation and Localization Services
The gaming industry is growing considerably fast.
Technological progress is increasing the possibility of game development as an art form. As a result, video games are gaining technical and narrative complexity. Plus, products that used to be targeted to audiences of a specific age range or niche are now mainstream and widely consumed.
For a video game and its collateral material to reach an international customer base, it must be translated and localized.
It’s important to maintain the tone of a game’s narration in order to present the story and the challenges within it as faithfully as possible. But, it’s also necessary to recognize and replace cultural references, idioms, and other details that won’t make sense across cultures when directly translated.
Your hand selected localization team will assure that your game translates in a way that doesn’t distract, confuse, or worse, offend your target audience. They will meticulously localize your game to maintain its core while impacting your new audience.
What Is Video Game Localization?
When you want to take your product to a new country, simple video game translation is just part of the process.
Video game localization refers to any changes necessary for a game to be launched in a new region, with new legal requirements, manual and hardware stipulations, and cultural sensitivities.
The components that may need adaptation are:
- Manuals and ReadMe files
- Logos, packaging, game boxes, and design
- Dialogue/Voice over
- Game text and subtitles
- User interface and UX design (for local and international consoles)
- Game and company website
- Advertising
- Artistic design
We offer all these services, performed by professional game translators and localization experts.
