Game Translation & Localization
CSOFT’s global network of game translation and localization specialists helps publishers ensure fun, dynamic experiences for gamers in overseas markets
When exploring a new PC, mobile, or video game, players expect to fall in love with the characters, worlds, and adventures they encounter, in many cases thanks to game translation and localization services that make these experiences accessible in their local cultures and languages. Understanding the various legends, mythologies, and narratives behind the world of a game, then adapting its text and speech elements for the benefit of players in other cultures is the only way to recreate a digital universe that will resonate with new audiences on a deep, immersive level.
At CSOFT, we understand growing and competing in the gaming world means allowing players to connect globally and have the same experience with any given game as a native speaker of the game’s original language would. With worldwide coverage for a full range of game localization services in 250 languages, we can help ensure a dynamic, consistent experience for global audiences interacting with your brand and products, regardless of their language.
Leave It to the Experts: Professional Support for the Many Challenges of Game Translation
Game translation is a unique localization need, requiring a broad range of text and speech translation services from linguists with solid subject matter expertise in game design. Part of the challenge of localizing gaming products is that many professional translators are not game enthusiasts, often missing the subtle linguistic quirks that surround different gaming cultures across the globe. Whether you need voiceovers and subtitling or user interface localization, CSOFT’s end-to-end game translation services are powered by a team of professional translators and in-country content creators with expertise and passion for gaming. As a result, we deliver quality game translations that speak our clients’ language all the time, both technically and culturally.

Voiceover Services for Global Game Publishers
At CSOFT, we understand that localization is more than just text on a page – it’s a tone, a register, a pitch, and a timber. Our voice services carefully consider how the voices of different characters can be localized for various audiences globally.

Next, we find you talented, native-speaking voice actors in your target language to bring your characters to life.

Localization Testing for Game Translations
Localization testing is a crucial process of ensuring any software being translated into a new language is built with the same usability in every region it is deployed for. By verifying localized software cosmetically and functionally, CSOFT helps companies eliminate functional bugs before product launches in overseas markets. Whether it is overflowing text strings or duplicate translations slipping into the final product, CSOFT’s network of in-country linguists and software engineers can deliver a full range of localized solutions, including bug testing, UI testing, typeface and layout issues, numerical and alphabetical rules, as well as grammatical punctuation, all helping ensure usability and quality for users. Once localized, CSOFT verifies the target output on different platforms to ensure that translated content properly fits within dialog boxes and that all hotkeys function without error.
