Web Game Localization

brainbeat.club
started a topic on Wed, 06 May 2015 at 7:32 AM

Hello

My game title is web based gaming platform.

The Website texts' localization is an important part of my business idea.

As I understand you are working on localization serivces, but the release date is unknown.

Could you advice me how to proceed (or what 3th party serivce to use) in order to be easy to switch to your localization services when they are ready?

Regards

@brainbeat.club

I think you misunderstood what Brendan said here on the forum in other topic.

I don't think PlayFab will have such service to offer. I think that what Brendan announced is that they're working on the GameManager's localization.

It's clear, now.

Correct - we plan to provide localization support for games, so that any text sourcing from your title (whether in-game info, Push notifications, etc.) can all be localized. We'll provide more info on that as we proceed. For web site localization, I would have to recommend working with localization partners directly.

I'm sorry I didn't know about that and it was not my position to answer such questions. Won't happen again.

Oh, no - not a problem at all! One of the main reasons we have forums is so that our users can help each other. I just wanted to add a bit of clarification (about what we'll be integrating, for localization). :)

"For web site localization, I would have to recommend working with localization partners directly." Which are these localization partners? Some recommendations? Sorry, but I do not have any experiance in that area

To be clear, we don't have a recommended localization partner right now, but I've spoken with folks who have had good experiences using http://gtlmedia.com/. I'd strongly encourage others to chime in with their recommendations.
