Localization is the process of adapting a product or service originally designed for one country for it to be used in other ones. It involves not only translating the language, but also reviewing and revising references to different cultures, customs and sometimes even laws. We are a game-focused company offering full localization services, providing a one-stop service for a variety of tasks related to game localization, including translation, audio recording and QA. The aim of game localization is to make sure that users in other countries can enjoy the same game experience and feel the same excitement as they would with the original product, without having to stress over unnatural translations. To make this possible, localization needs not only a deep understanding of the worldview of a game and its background, but also to take into consideration the target countries' gaming culture and market, correctly adapting all aspects as necessary. We believe that the only way to attain an authentic, complete localization is to have the process performed in the target country: that is why we work in collaboration with our offices overseas, starting with our Japanese office and including several other group companies, in order to provide our high-quality localization services.
