Game Localization Proccess
Video game localization is often overlooked or treated as a lower priority during the game development phase while it can actually help you generate significant ROI if it’s properly planned and carefully executed. So, if the beta version of the game is provided to us, or even snapshots and pictures to understand the game, we can become familiar with the playthrough, and review the text. However, it is often not possible to have playable versions at the early stages of the game localization process.
At this point, a flexible approach involving iterations of translated builds would be the better choice.
Technology That Powers Smarter Game Localization
LangLink Games, we harness industry-leading localization platforms—memoQ, Memsource, Trados, and Crowdin—to streamline the translation process for MMOs and games with frequent content updates.
Through the use of Translation Memories (TM) and Term Bases (TB), we ensure linguistic consistency, reduce redundant work, and accelerate time-to-market. This not only improves quality but also helps you save on localization costs over the long term.
As our partner, you maintain full control over your TM and TB assets, and you gain real-time visibility into the progress and quality of your game localization project—whether you’re planning a global release or managing ongoing seasonal content.
