Analysis:

This includes identifying the content to be translated, the technical requirements, and the SEO optimization. Target markets and target groups are identified to determine the necessary linguistic and cultural adaptations.
Content extraction:
The content to be translated is extracted from the website. This can include text, images, meta tags, keywords, and other relevant information. The extracted content is saved in an editable format to facilitate the translation work.
Translation:
The extracted content is translated into the target language by professional translators. Particular attention is paid to linguistic accuracy, cultural adaptation, and consistency. Specific SEO keywords and meta tags are also translated or localized accordingly to ensure SEO optimization in the target language.
Localization:
In addition to the linguistic translation, various cultural adaptations are made. This includes adapting images, graphics, colors, layouts, and other visual elements to meet the cultural preferences and norms of the target market.
Integration:
The translated content is reintegrated into the website. This includes updating texts, using localized images, and adapting layouts and designs. Care is taken to ensure that all elements are displayed consistently and without errors.
SEO optimization:
SEO optimization is considered throughout the entire process. This includes using relevant keywords, customizing meta tags, optimizing page structures and URLs, setting up language and country targeting, and ensuring that the website is search engine friendly in the target language.

Game localization—game translation
We localize your games!
Process
The process of game localization refers to adapting video games to different languages and cultures in order to provide an optimal gaming experience for target markets around the world. Compared to simple translation and software localization, there are additional considerations that need to be taken into account in game localization. Here is a description of the process of game localization and how it differs from simple translation and software localization:
- Linguistic translation: Similar to a simple translation, the texts in a game are transferred into the target language. This includes dialog, subtitles, menus, descriptions, instructions, and other written content. However, in game localization, it is not only the translation itself that is important, but also the context, character development, and gameplay.
- Cultural assimilation: Games are often steeped in culture, whether it be through references, humor, cultural norms, or visual elements. When localizing a game, it is important to adapt these aspects to the target culture to ensure that the game is appealing to players in that region. This may include adapting jokes, references, artwork, color schemes, or even gameplay mechanics.
- Dubbing and synchronization: In many games, the dialog is voiced by professional speakers to provide a more realistic gaming experience. In game localization, the dialog needs to be not only translated, but also re-recorded by native speakers to ensure high-quality synchronization. It is important that the characters’ lip movements match the spoken dialog.
- Functionality testing and quality control: After the game has been translated and adapted, extensive functional testing is performed to ensure that the localized version works smoothly and has no bugs or inconsistencies. This includes checking linguistic accuracy, correct display of text, audio quality, subtitles, and other game-specific elements.
- Gaming experience and customization: Game localization goes beyond mere linguistic translation. It involves creating an optimal gaming experience within the target culture. This includes adapting gameplay mechanics, difficulty levels, user interface, instructions, and even graphical elements to match the preferences and expectations of the target audience.
The process of game localization differs from simple translation in that it takes into account context, culture, and gaming experience. Compared to software localization, game localization is more intensive because it involves not only adapting the user interface and texts but also the audiovisual aspects and gameplay. The aim is to provide an immersive and entertaining gaming experience in different languages and cultures.
