Video game localization is the process of

converting the software and hardware of video

games before it is sold in a particular region or

country. A huge part of localization is simply

translation of texts. However, to some extent,

packaging, audio dubbing and removing some

portions of the game are also done, especially on

games with violent genres, which are regulated in

some conservative countries. Localization therefore,

is done mainly to avoid cultural sensitivities and to

capture the hearts of your target market.

Manuals – these are the most common

gaming materials that are being localized.

Manuals contain instructions for players to

follow in order to maximize the enjoyment of

playing the games. If the games will be

released in other countries, it is a must for

game developers to include manuals written in

the various languages.

Packaging – the first impression of a gamer towards

the game depends on its packaging. Not only that it

should be visually attractive to your target market, textual

information on the packaging must also be translated to

the native language of your target audience.

Websites – this is an easy place to go for gamers to

check for updates and additional information on a

particular game. Thus, it is deemed necessary to localize

the website for the convenience of your avid gamers.

Dialogue – dialogues are essential parts of video

games. However, dialogues in some video games may be

brutal and vulgar for some cultures and may not pass the

regulation committee. One way to go around this

problem is dialogue dubbing. Not only that that

conversations are dubbed into a different language,

indecent words are also being omitted to be acceptable

to a more conservative audience.

THE CHALLENGE FOR

VIDEO GAME

LOCALIZATION COMPANIES

Video game localization companies are faced

with various challenges during the process of

localization. One of them is the legal aspect. Most

countries are now imposing ratings classification on

video games entering their territory. Thus, it is

important that localization companies are able to

make the extremes subtle to meet the standards of

their target country.
