Core Services

What We Cover

Complete localization services from start to finish

Translation

Professional translation teams who understand gaming terminology and cultural context. We’re not just converting words — we’re preserving the game’s voice.

Cultural Adaptation

Adjusting imagery, humor, references, and gameplay mechanics to resonate with local audiences. What works in one market might need tweaking for another.

Quality Assurance

Comprehensive testing catches text issues, formatting problems, and cultural missteps before launch. We test like players, not just checklist items.

Workflow Management

Coordinating translation, localization, and testing across multiple languages simultaneously. We keep everything organized and on schedule.

Market Analysis

Understanding regional preferences and player expectations. We’ll tell you what’ll resonate and what won’t before you launch.

Launch Support

We’re there on day one. If issues pop up after release, we handle post-launch fixes and adjustments quickly.

Our Journey

How We Got Here

Built on years of localization experience

2016

Started Small

Founded with a focus on helping indie studios reach new markets. Worked on translating first handful of games into Asian languages.

2019

Expanded Services

Built out full cultural adaptation team. Started working with mid-size studios on comprehensive localization strategies, not just translation.

2022

Established Pipeline

Created our signature workflow system. Now coordinating 12+ languages simultaneously for major releases. Partnered with studios handling millions of players.

2024

Global Recognition

Over 150+ games localized across 30+ languages. We’re the go-to team when studios want localization done right, not rushed.

Our Approach

How Translation Pipelines Work

A structured approach to managing complex localization workflows

Building a translation pipeline isn’t just about getting text translated. It’s about creating a system that handles multiple languages, maintains consistency, and catches problems before they become launch disasters.

1

Asset Extraction

We pull all text from your game — UI strings, dialogue, descriptions, everything. This gets organized by context so translators understand what they’re working with.

2

Translation & Review

Native speakers translate while staying true to your game’s tone. Then a second pair of eyes reviews everything for accuracy and consistency across all languages.

3

Integration & Testing

Translated text gets reintegrated into the game. QA team plays through every language version, checking for text overflow, formatting issues, and cultural problems.

4

Launch & Support

Your game goes live in multiple languages. We monitor for any post-launch issues and handle quick fixes if needed. You’ve got our support on day one.
