GAME LOCALIZATION
Quality game localization is a big step towards your success in the international gaming industry. Here at CCCI, we provide desktop, mobile, browser, and console games localization in 30+ languages around the US, Europe, and Asia.
Working with top Japanese game companies for over a decade has allowed us to hone our skills in game localization. Along with our manga translation services, Mobile and PC games translation has become another of our specialties in the field of translation. It’s a service separate from general and specialized translations.
Our team of content creators and game experts also collaborate in-game writing projects – one of our newest services. This combination of language and literature expertise, as well as game design knowledge, allows us to generate narratives for game publishers and creators to build upon.
Game localization does not only require linguistic proficiency, but also storytelling skills. This is work that wholly requires human touch: not a word-for-word translation, but a retelling of a story in a different language, culture, and belief system with the game mechanics and dynamics in mind, something that machine translation and non-specialized translators would not be capable of doing.
Choose only the best for your game localization project. At CCCI, as a professional game localization and translation agency, we will help you to transmit the necessary information to the player and optimize the gamer user experience in no time.
Each member of our game localization team is passionate about getting the best possible result for every game project with a modernized approach.
Our game localization process has three main stages. Firstly, we check all information provided by our client such as artworks, videos, details on characters and scenery, brief summary of the plot, descriptive texts, etc. Secondly, after checking the project files, we start the game translation and localization process. Thirdly, our native proofreaders and quality checkers ensure that the project is subjected to detailed quality control.

FAQS ABOUT GAME TRANSLATION AND LOCALIZATION
Localizing a video game means retelling a game story in a different language and culture. Mobile and PC game localization involves translating both in-game dialogue and technical parts. A localization agency must take into account essential points like the game’s source and target language, cultural similarities and differences between the languages, genre, industry audience, and many more. After localization, localization testing often follows.
Our mobile, PC, browser and console game localization process is as follows:
- You send us details of the game to understand the gameplay: a soft copy of all texts to be translated, videos, other materials necessary. We check all information including word count, the plot of the game, genre, characters, etc. to assess the volume and difficulty of the localization. (Note that a Non Disclosure Agreement can be prepared prior to sharing the above information.)
- After checking the project files and discussing the expected delivery date and format, we calculate the price and send you a custom offer.
- After approving the game project offer, we start the translation and localization process.
- Our native proofreaders and quality checkers ensure that the project is subjected to detailed quality control.
- Output is submitted in the format requested and payment is made. Any reasonable request for minor revisions can be made even after payment.
We offer game localization and translation services for PC, mobile, browser, or console games across all genres.
Localization costs vary greatly depending on the volume of the text (determined by the length or complexity of the game), source and target language, and genre and content of the game. Send us materials of your game, and we will provide you with a customized, formal quotation.
To expand your market, you need to understand the trends in the game industry. The most asked-to-translate languages in the gaming industry are Japanese to English, Chinese and Korean to English, and English to German. Aside from this, for internationalization in general, it is worthy to note that Spanish, French, Russian, Italian, Portuguese, and Vietnamese are among the most widely spoken languages in the world.
Besides PC, console, browser, and mobile game translation and localization, we offer publishers and developers multilingual customer support for games. Customer service in the gaming industry includes answering game-related questions, inquiries about game content, navigation, etc. Primarily, it helps to ensure the best gaming experience for players. Setting up a multilingual customer support team for your game is crucial for player satisfaction and, most importantly, retention.
The timeline for localization varies depending on the volume of the project. Most of our major one-time projects have a one-month timeline, but we can only assess the applicability of this timeline or the feasibility of your requested deadline upon checking the materials and details of the project. Nonetheless, having Quality First in terms of output and time as our core value, we always ensure to meet our partners’ expectations.
Both for quality translation and localization and outstanding in-game customer support, it is necessary to have a solid knowledge of multiple languages. At CCCI, we cover more than 30 European and Asian languages across the globe. Check the list here.
Sure! One of our newest services is game writing. As an international game localization and multilingual customer support provider for over 10 years, we have thorough game design knowledge and language expertise. This, along with our creative writers who themselves have a background in game engines, has allowed us to build this new service and produce narrative games ourselves.
Game localization testing or quality assurance is the next step after translating your game. Testing ensures that there are no linguistic, cultural, or functional issues in the game translated. Our localization testing service is a supplementary service to our game localization. We also offer this service for your already-translated games.
