No localization says = We’re not ready to support that market.

Bad (MT) localization says = We don’t respect players in that country.

If you think you’re doing players a favor by running your carefully crafted script through AI, please don't.

Your game will look cheap.

Which localization hero will you choose?

🎮

Here's a short guide on the tree basic "builds":

⚔️ The lumbering large LSP (language service provider).

🔮 The well-balanced small team/boutique agency.

🏹 The wild-card solo freelancer.

Garrrr, achievements need translation too? And rich presence?

Y'all ever notice how features just keep kind of like creeping? I'm probably the first one.

Your Steam page deserves top-notch localization.

It can either drive wishlists and sales or push players away.

(Machine translation sounds scammy.)

I studied many Steam pages in my language.

▷ The best-written, local variants are not afraid to be creative.

Normalize 👏 AI 👏 shaming 👏
🤢Gamers have made their position on this more than clear.
Do you think #localization is any different?

#Gameloc is part of development, and as such it deserves the same respect as graphics, writing, music and code.

Normalize👏AI-localization👏shaming👏too!👏

I used to be a game developer.

Kinda.

Aged 10–15, I developed dozens of games in GameMaker.

I only ever finished one. It was a medieval city builder with hand-drawn graphics.

Sadly, all my creations are lost to time, but at least they live in my memories.

RV There Yet? features a new map!

And localization into 17 languages (variants included) by @thewarlocs.bsky.social. Latam Spanish by @guidobindi.bsky.social and yours truly. Gurajchaka, brothers!

Translating Dialogue vs. Item Descriptions:

💬 Dialogue = All about style & emotion, capturing the characters' voices.

📝 UI & Item Descriptions = Precision, proper word order, attention to space constraints & consistency.

Another release day! 🎮

This summer I worked as the LQA tester on the Czech localization for Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy.

Huge thanks to @locquest.bsky.social for the trust, and big kudos to Filip Ženíšek & Riotloc for the top-notch translation!

A short #gameloc story for your day:

In Turbo Shell by @radioactvdreams.bsky.social, the bad guy is called 𝙀𝙫𝙞𝙡 𝙀𝙜𝙜.

In French, "evil" can be translated as "maléfique" (maleficent) and "egg" is "oeuf". This is why our FR team baptized him... *drum rolls*
