Game Localization Studio - Turin, Italy
Your game. Every language. Shipped right.
We localize games for studios at every scale, from single-dev indie projects to multi-platform releases. Narrative, UI, store pages, patches: handled end to end.
// Why it matters
Localization done wrong
is a launch risk.
We're translators who play games
Genre conventions, player expectations, humor, slang, our team understands the medium, not just the language. Every string gets the context it deserves.
File-format fluent
We work directly with your pipeline: .json, .xml, .csv, .po, .yaml. We flag character limits, UI overflow, and missing context before they reach QA.
Sprint-compatible workflow
Tight ship dates, rolling updates, day-one patches, we sync to your release cycle. Transparent throughout, no surprises at delivery.
Beyond literal translation
Puns, references, tone of voice, we recreate the feeling, not just the words, so players in every market have the same experience.
A badly localized game doesn't just lose reviews, it loses entire markets.
- We cover 20+ languages through a vetted network of native gaming translators, each verified for quality and gaming expertise.
- We build a game-specific glossary before any string is touched, your world, your terminology, locked in writing.
- Two-linguist review: one translates, one reviews for consistency, tone, and cultural fit.
- Delivery in your original file format, drop-in ready for your engine or loc tool.
- Post-launch support for patches, DLC, and string updates on retainer or per-project.

// How we work
A clean process,
no surprises.
Designed to fit inside your development workflow, not to disrupt it.
01
Brief & scope
Send us your files and context. We assess scope, word count, complexity, and quote back within 48 hours.
02
Glossary build
We document your world: terminology, tone, character voices, naming conventions. Locked in writing before any string is touched.
03
Translate & review
Native translator, plus independent reviewer. Every string passes two sets of eyes before it reaches you.
04
Deliver & support
Files in your original format, drop-in ready. Post-launch support for patches, DLC, and updates.
// Who we work with
Built for studios
at every scale.
The localization brief looks different at every studio size. We've worked with solo developers and multi-SKU publishers, and everything in between.
// Indie studios
Small team,
global ambition.
You're wearing twelve hats already. Localization shouldn't be the thirteenth. We keep the process lightweight, transparent, and priced to make sense for independent productions.
- Flat-rate quotes, no hidden per-word fees
- Direct communication, no account managers or ticketing systems
- Flexible scope: start with two languages, expand later
- Day-one launches and post-launch expansions both handled
- Steam-specific expertise: store pages, tags, update notes
// Mid-size studios & publishers
Multi-platform,
multi-language.
You need a localization partner who can handle volume, manage consistency across SKUs, and integrate with your existing pipeline without you babysitting the process.
- Glossary and style guide management across languages
- Multi-language parallel delivery for simultaneous launches
- Console certification familiarity: PS4/PS5, Switch
- LQA and consistency review on request
- Retainer arrangements for studios with continuous content
