Language:English
Summary:Introduction to video game localization.
Description
In this session, we will see all the phases that take place in a typical video game localization project. The first one is the so-called “internationalization”, which is actually part of the video game development requirements, as it is when potential localization issues are solved ahead of time, such as having fonts with characters of all languages or different date formats according to the locale. The next phases — familiarization, translation, reviewing, testing — will depend on whether we work as in-house or freelance translators, so we will analyze the differences between each model.

Great course, some file-issues.Nov 28, 2020

This seminar will give you a full insight into gaming localization:
Tips, tricks and what to watch out for.
It is fun and engaging.
On the downside, the availabe material for downloading doesn't seem to open.
No advice on what program to use to open it - other people seemed to have the same problem based on the comments.

Dear Ourania,

Thank you for considering ProZ.com Training and sharing your feedback.

I am checking the records and neither see you in the list of training attendees nor see any records on training purchase. May I ask you to email to [email protected] and provide me with more information: how the training payment was made and how you try to access training materials? This will help me to look further into the issue. Thank you!

All the best,
Helen
