Game Localization: Supercharge Your Game’s Success by Going Global

77% of gamers want to game in their language


Let players around the world enjoy your game in their language by localizing it. Localization involves much more than just translating words—in the world of video games, localization requires a thorough understanding of how video games work; a game’s content, style, and tone; and cultural idiosyncrasies and identities.

Video game localizers may need to adapt a storyline for specific audiences so it aligns with the local culture and is more relatable to the player. Our experts work with your developers to ensure that any adjustments in the localized version align with the original vision and essence of the game. 

We provide game localization services in more than 200 languages and process 10 billion words annually for our clients, including game developers ranging from upstart labels to market leaders. With an unmatched network of gaming-wiz linguists, we’re the leading provider of human- and AI-based game translation and localization services for developers and distributors.
