Game Localization
A complete localization service for translating console, PC and arcade based video games. Russian Translation's breadth of resource enables us to provide a complete software translation and localization
solution enabling your international customers to play your games seamlessly in their own language. We
offer guidance and advice at all stages of your project, ensuring a successful delivery of your localized
software product, on time and within budget. Russian Translation's localization process:
1. Extraction of assets. From initial raw assets (including source code, audio, video and graphics files) delivered to the company,
our engineers will extract any assets that require localization, making sure that any glossary and
contextual information is retained.
2. Conversion of files for localization. Source code and binary file types often contain text to be localized, embedded within code and instruction
sets. There may be hundreds or even thousands of files requiring work. Our software engineers will convert
these and other files to an optimal format for localization by our translators.
3. Re-engineering game software. Once text, audio, video and graphics files have been localized, the Department will re-integrate the
localized material, then re-compile the product to create a Beta Master, testing the re-integrated product
at each stage.
Localization quality assurance. Our engineering process is based on a model which includes extensive Quality Assurance procedures. Each
software localization project is completed within a consistent, quality-centric framework. Quality and
workflow processes can be adapted to integrate with existing client-side environments.? During all phases
of the localization life cycle process our management and production teams working from offices in the US ,
Europe and Australasia control every aspect of the process through our quality assurance procedures.
Managing your localized software assets. Of increasing importance to all companies engaged in video game localization projects, is the need to
maximize the often hidden value in the translation assets they hold. Tools used to ensure that a video
game localization process is consistent and accurate can now also provide the means to drive language
technology developments that will revolutionize the way in which your localized software and support
materials (even your day-to-day business communications) are created and delivered. Russian Translation's
translation asset management system enables you to leverage your existing translation assets to reduce the
cost of current and future game version localizations.
