Mission to Perfect Video Game Localization
Understanding the context
Localization does not exist without understanding the context. It is the developer's job to provide comprehensible source material
Sculpting alternate reality
A localizer is a craftsman who takes foreign words and inserts familiar phrases in their place.
Beta testing
Even the best translator is not a fairy. Before releasing a game to the market, it should be tested, tested and tested again.
Key elements of good localization
Localization is a symbiosis
Just as in film as in games, most depends on the script. Even the best game localization has no chance of succeeding if the script is incomprehensible to the player or does not match current trends. The job of game producers is to develop a game with the awareness of current trends. They find this information through surveys, competition, information from magazines and expert gamers. Of course, the trend is different from one country to another. Ethical, religious, cultural, economic, social, etc. factors play a key role, and here also starts the role of a game localization.
Developing a video game can require a huge budget. A key element is good localization of the game to other languages, but usually game producers allocate a relatively small budget for this. Developers, on the other hand, think that all they need to do is send the text itself and that will take care of it. Nothing could be further from the truth. You as a developer know the game script by heart. Often the translator is given a wall of text and is expected to guess at the context. Therefore, the most important element is the proper preparation of source materials for translators with a description of the context and access to the various elements of the game. Good communication between developers and translators is half the battle. The profitability of the game depends on the quality and its acceptance, so if it is not well localized, this can result in millions of dollars in losses.
Video games are, without a doubt, the largest and most developed cultural industry on the planet. The sales figures, the diffusion and the number of users show a constant growth year after year. This demonstrates an industry model with not only a present, but a promising future as well. All the socio-economic studies that have been carried out corroborate this. Currently, according to Google information, the word “game” is among the ten most searched words by users. This is revealing of the general trend of society, in terms of leisure time.

About Keywords in Game Localization
What would a video game localization be without using keywords?
A keyword is a term associated with digital marketing. It is used to describe a word or group of words that Internet users commonly employ when browsing online. On the internet we can find different theories about keywords. Many experts claim to have a solution for a certain product, service or brand. They certainly have access to tools and tips that inexperienced users might not. But the reality is that it is becoming more and more popular to hire the services of translators-localizers that implement certain words. These words should bring the customer searching on the Internet closer to our website.

Player Adaptation
The essence of good video game localization
The role of the player is as important as that of the localizer or translator. The localizer is, more often than not, a game fanatic himself.
Historically, gamers have always been seen as childish or unprofessional. But times change and so do market demands. Today, a regular gamer, with appropriate language training, can be a perfect localizer of video games or applications. In fact, an educated translator may not be as much of a specialist as the gamer. It’s all about nuance. This is about the right mix between an educated translator, someone with the right language skills and a seasoned player.
The gamer understands what fellow gamers expect from video games. He is the core element that ties the whole localization process together. A localization not overlooked by gamers has little chance of entering a market successfully. The player’s adaptation of all texts and content of the game to the final result is essential in this demanding and developed industry.
Akin to a elite athletes or rockstars, gamers dream of getting paid doing what they love. Of course not all gamers are suitable for this job. The one who really commits to collaborating with these big multinationals, will have more work than he can develop.

Undoubtedly, creativity is a precious quality for a localizer to possess
What is the main quality of a game localizer?
It goes without saying that English proficiency, hours of gaming, knowledge of the video game industry, many localized games… of course, are also important. But a gamer without creativity will never reach the required heights.
If the game has a futuristic content, the terminology will certainly be related to advanced technological devices. In the case of a fantasy role-playing game, adapted to the 10th century, it is likely to find all kinds of weapons, which require a characteristic name. We will also find characters with a particular accent and speaking a unique language. If it is a more classic platformer, it will have to provide content suitable for younger audiences, which will cause a smile in the player who reads it (jokes and pranks are always accepted with open arms).
For all this, the player/localizer has to be able to let his imagination fly, creating unique quality texts.

The most important stages
Stages in the translation of video games
Game localisation methods involve adapting the game to globalisation processes and the quality of the language depending on the country and region the game is targeted at. It requires more than a simple translation of text. Players from all corners of the world need to experience the same authentic gameplay.
Steps
What are the key elements of game localization !
- 1 Software and hardware location Game localization usually involves switching between PAL and NTSC, reassigning function keys and modifying the game or application itself.
- 2 Linguistic and cultural localization Translation and localization of all linguistic and cultural references. As such, we can preserve the genuineness of the game, making it more identifyable to the audience of a given country or region.
- 3 Graphics and music localization In some cases, games will feature a new set of characters, or the same ones with slight variations in appearance, helping players identify with their own avatar. Music also varies with national trends and fan preferences.
- 4 Legal locatization Age rating of players can create variations depending on the country where the game is released. They are controlled by national or international organizations, among which: PEGI (Europe), ESRB (United States and Canada), ACB (Australia) or ZERO (Japan).
