Frequently Asked Questions

Translation focuses strictly on converting text or dialogue from one language to another. Localization is a comprehensive process that adapts the entire gaming experience for a new culture. This includes modifying cultural references, humor, idioms, local formatting (dates, currencies), compliance with regional age-rating boards, and adjusting the user interface to handle text expansion without breaking the game's layout.
LQA is the final, critical testing phase of the localization pipeline. Specialized native-speaking testers play through the game in context to catch errors that spreadsheets miss. They look for text truncation (words cutting off inside UI boxes), overlapping text, untranslated strings, functional bugs caused by character rendering, and dialogue choices that sound unnatural or out of context during live gameplay.
Yes. Complete game localization covers both text and audio assets. Subtitling provides an efficient, cost-effective path to accessibility across multiple markets, while professional dubbing and voice-over services utilize native voice talent and specialized directors to record immersive, emotionally accurate dialogue that matches the character dynamics of the original script.
To maintain story, character, and lore consistency across thousands of lines of dialogue, localization teams utilize centralized translation glossaries, style guides, and interactive translation memories. These tools permanently lock down specialized names, terms, abilities, and character tones, ensuring that every linguist working on the project adheres to the exact same world-building rules from patch to patch.
