Localising Video Games
is not for the Faint-Hearted | As a translator and voice-over artist, capturing each product’s unique theme and familiarising yourself with the software is required to achieve successful results in localisation projects.
Our success with the industry is based upon having the right project management team who work closely with the right translators, and can identify the best type of voiceover artist that is required for each product and market.
Several leading games companies continually request our expertise to assist with the full localisation of new products, including enhancements of current products.
Our dedicated project management team consult fully with the client on-site for every new project, ensuring the theme has been faithfully reproduced and that all the localised material, including script and voice-over, is consistent with the product and also in tune with the target audience.
A leading Video Games company needed to localise a new game for a slightly different target market than usual. We convinced the development team that our skills would provide exactly the localisation resource that was required for product release in 12 countries. |
