Game Translation & Localization Services
Our video game translation and localization specialists help publishers and gamers alike, ensuring fun, dynamic experiences for gamers in overseas markets.
When exploring new PC, mobile, or console-based games, players expect to fall in love with engaging characters and interactive worlds throughout all of the adventures they encounter.

Translating video games is often a complex undertaking, requiring a range of both technical and cultural expertise to adapt every element to a specific demographic. One potential element of game localization is understanding the various legends, mythologies, and narratives behind the world of a game, then adapting its text and speech elements in order to recreate a digital universe that will resonate with new audiences on a deep, immersive level.
At CSOFT, we recognize that thriving in the competitive gaming industry requires enabling players worldwide to connect and enjoy the same immersive experience as native speakers of a game’s original language. 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.
