The game industry is one of the fastest growing sectors globally. Video game localization provides you with the tools to reach ever expanding markets and allows you to captivate audiences around the world.

Be it a short game of 10 000 words or an epic adventure of 300 000, localization of a video game provides its own challenges that need to be addressed to ensure that the emotions and feelings are transmitted successfully from one language into another.

What is video game localization?

Video game Localization is the process of adapting a game, its graphics, interface, icons, texts and colors to a specific location or market. It involves testing the integration of the translated text into the game, and quality assurance to ensure graphics and text fits into the interface.

Some of the most important aspects of video game localization are:

  • Translation: the translation of the game’s assets and text from one language into another.
  • Integration: the integration of the translated assets into the game, adapting and adjusting them to the graphical user interface (GUI), to make sure they are displayed correctly.
  • Regional adaptation: the researching of local norms and regulations.
  • Quality assurance: testing the quality of the translation and how it integrates into the game.
