Human Translation
Powered by Technology
We partnered with Crowdin, using cloud-based technology to ensure your project is stored and managed efficiently.
With a streamlined workflow, you don’t have to worry about starting from scratch with updates: we’ll just download your project from the cloud or your repository and pick up where we left off.
Our translation software stores glossaries and Translation Memory for each individual project – we keep a record of our past translations to ensure your future translations are consistent. You’ll never pay for content that’s already translated.
Our streamlined workflow will serve you every step of the way

- The encoding and readability of the font
- String length and agreement in inflected languages
- The relevance of units of measurement (length, weight, etc.) for speakers of the target language
- Unity of style and the communication of wordplay.
- Consistency throughout the translation

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the cloud translation platform work?
We use a platform called Crowdin as our localization and translation management tool. We have an agency account that gives us full access to all the powerful tools that make project and string management consistent. After you’ve sent us your strings, we’ll create a project for your app and invite the translators in, answering any questions they may have all in one easy-to-use place.
Is the platform free?
Yes! We manage our account so that clients and translators don’t pay any more than our standard per word charge. If you choose to host the strings yourself and just invite us in as translators, you’ll need to check with Crowdin for more information on pricing.
What is continuous localization?
Using online platforms lets us structure the game localization process in such a way that when an app is released it is always fully translated — continuously, at any time. This works as follows:
- The developer adds a new string to the game’s resources.
- The updated resource file is automatically sent to the localization platform (via API or using a CLI). The translator immediately sees the new text.
- The translator translates the new string.
- Before releasing the latest build, the updated translations are collected automatically from the platform.
- Therefore, each time the game is compiled all localizations are 100% ready, and the update is never delayed.
What payment methods do you support?
