Our approach to video game localisation
Proven processes and quality assurance procedures certified under ISO 17100 and 9001 standards.
Game immersion
Our translators will play a pre-released version of the game to get acquainted with the universe, context, tone and particular lingo.
Complete game playthrough is a crucial step in grasping the game's story. During this stage, translators begin to build a localisation strategy based on the game's universe and cross-check glossaries and terminology (or establish them).
Translation & localisation
Translation and localisation of the game's content strings take place in our secure translation management system.
Success in game localisation comes down to intelligent content adaptation. Culture is the leading factor determining whether a game will resonate with a target market. At 2M, the translation and localisation process leverages deep cultural insight to introduce games on an international scale.
Localisation & UX testing
Our in-market game testers will play the localised version of the game to ensure that the UX and localisation meet local quality expectations.
UX testing identifies the usability, user experience, and gaming behaviours of the localised prototypes. Testing and re-testing occurs throughout the localisation process to perfect success factors for each localised version.
Subtitling & voice-over services
Need to localise others aspects in your game apart from the user interface's strings? We've got you covered. Our subtitling and voice-over services will enable you to localise dialogues and audio assets in your game for a fully adapted user experience.
Pick a voice-over actor from our wide range of voice talents or work with our team of subtitle specialists to take the in-language experience of your video game to the next level.
