WHAT DOES VIDEO GAME LOCALIZATION MEAN?

Video game translation is when a translation company translates a video game into another language in a way that local people would speak and understand.

DO YOU OFFER VIDEO GAME LOCALIZATION SERVICES?

Gaming companies can benefit from not just video game translations but also from game localization. With Game localization, your source language script is not just translated word for word into your target language, instead your games content is localized to your specific market so that it feels truly authentic.

HOW TO BECOME A VIDEO GAME TRANSLATOR?

We require our gaming translators to have a minimum of five years of experience providing linguistic services, be native speakers of the language they are translating and have experience in the industry they are providing translations for.

CAN I TRANSLATE VIDEO GAMES BY MYSELF?

The global gamer community is not known for being the most forgiving and poorly or offensively translated games could have a disastrous effect on your company’s reputation. That’s why we would always recommend you use a translation agency with native language experience in your target languages instead of attempting to translate your games yourself.

IS IT CHALLENGING TO TRANSLATE GAMES?

It can be very difficult to get a game translated accurately as video games typically involve a lot of niche terms and this can be difficult to convey depending on the language pairs. Reputable gaming translation services, like Absolute Translations, employ expert translators who also have professional experience in the gaming sector, allowing them to quickly and accurately carry out translations of even the most obscure terminology.

WHY CHOOSE ABSOLUTE TRANSLATIONS AGENCY FOR MY GAME TRANSLATION?
