AI Meets Human: How We Translate Games Without Losing the Soul

Let’s get one thing straight: machine translation alone won’t make your game a global hit. No offense to our robotic colleagues, but players notice when dialogue sounds like it was written by a toaster.

1. We Prep Like Pros

Before a single word is translated, we prep your content like it’s about to go on stage. We clean up messy data, fine-tune termbases, and train the AI to speak your game’s language (yes, even if that language is Goblin Pirate).

2. Machine Translation? Sure, But Smart

We use top-tier MT engines, depending on your needs:

DeepLGoogle NMTCustom AI models

Our AI knows the difference between a sword and a button prompt.

3. AI Post-Editing (AIPE): First Draft, Not Final Draft

The machine gives us a decent start. Then we step in. Our editors polish the AI output, fixing grammar, restoring character voice, and making sure no one calls your villain “Mister Evil Man.”

✓ Your villain, in character

Mister Evil Man

Nothing here is technically a mistranslation. It just does not sound like a villain.

4. AI Quality Estimation (AIQE): Know What to Trust

Our AI doesn’t just translate. It also scores its own work.

Every segment gets a confidence scoreThe model flags how sure it is of its own output

High confidenceGoes straight to light review.

Sketchier bitsGet a full human rewrite.

That means less budget spent on what’s already good, and more love where it’s needed.

5. Human Post-Editing (HPE): The Soul of the Story

Humans handle the rest. Tone, humor, lore consistency: the good stuff. Our linguists are gamers, writers, and local culture nerds. They know that a bad pun in Russian might need to become an epic insult in Brazilian Portuguese.

6. Security & Compliance: Not Just Buzzwords

We protect your data like a dragon guards treasure. NDAs, access protocols, GDPR compliance. It is all there. Your unreleased build is safe with us.

7. Built to Scale

Need a 12-language launch for your next multiplayer fantasy-battle-rhythm-dating sim? We’re in. Our pipeline can handle huge volumes without burning out your timeline or your budget.
