Listening to Players: How Feedback Shapes Localization

Gamers are some of the most passionate fan communities in the world, and they’re not shy about giving feedback. They notice when a joke doesn’t land well, or when they encounter a clunky phrase or a term that doesn’t feel authentic. When they do, they talk about it—fast. For developers and localization teams, that quick response can be an incredible source of insight.
Crafting Localization That Plays to Each Game’s Strengths

From puzzle games to open-world epics, a one-size-fits-all approach to localization simply doesn’t deliver the same quality of player experience. A genre-aware localization strategy, however, ensures that every game element feels clear, immersive, and culturally relevant in a way that will resonate naturally with players, no matter where they are or what kind of games they love.
