Live Ops Localization
Mobile games (and live-service titles in general) get updated on a daily basis and need a team that supports continuous localization.
Our specs for continuous localization needs:
- Daily capacity of up to 3,000 words per translator
- Same-day availability for source updates
- Weekly TM and TB management sessions
Our specs are topped off by our core strengths: adaptability and our long-term formula.
- Long-term teams of native localization and LQA specialists, lead editors and back-up resources for predictable quality throughout the full game’s lifecycle.
- We plug directly into your preferred communication channels, tools and workflows with minimal on-boarding times.
Mobile Game Translation and LQA
We translate in-game text, store listings, ASO keywords, ads (playable ads included), and all marketing copy. All text goes through our 3-phase process: translation by a native game translator, proofreading by a lead editor and automated QA.
For LQA, other than emulators for standard sessions, we have a wide range of mobile devices, from low to high-end.
Case Study: Lilith Games
We regularly work with Lilith Games, the Shanghai studio behind mobile hits like Rise of Kingdoms and AFK Arena.
Given the almost daily need for hotfixes, we support deliveries within 2-3 hours from the assignment thanks to our dedicated team of localization specialists.
Need the same pace for your game? Just let us know and we’ll build the team for you.
