How Video Game Translation Services
Can Boost An RPG's Global Reach

RPGs, or role playing games, make up a significant portion of the video game market. Their intricate stories, memorable characters, wide open worlds, and addicting gameplay make them one of the most popular genres of video games. Games like Skyrim, The Witcher 3, Fallout, and other great RPGs have captured the imagination of gamers all over the world. Because of the depth of detail that goes into the production of these games, video game translation services are absolutely necessary for an RPG to be successful internationally.

Video game translation services are essential for RPGs if a developer wants to publish their game abroad. RPGs involve large amounts of text and dialogue. For a player to experience the game in the best possible way, they need to interact with it in their native language. This means that every item that has text needs to be translated. It also means that all the dialogue needs to be recorded in different languages. Video game translation companies can provide these vital translation services for the developer. While it is time consuming and potentially costly, the return on the investment is absolutely worth it as gamers all over the world will have a better gaming experience.

In addition to gaming translations, RPGs should also go through the video game localization process. Game localization is the process of adapting a game to better fit a target audience. This involves changing some of the game’s content to match the cultural preferences of the specific audience, without changing the game’s central details. This includes changing the formatting of dates and numbers, the names of places and characters, and other culturally relevant details. RPGs that are fully localized will perform better internationally, directly increasing the sales performance of the game.

Part of translation and localization services is recording new dialogue in different languages. Gaming localization companies offer comprehensive voice dubbing services; these services include casting new voice actors for each language and professionally recording all of the translated dialogue. Once all of the new dialogue is recorded and edited it can be reintroduced into the game.    

Translation service companies can offer support for marketing campaigns. A lot of effort goes into marketing RPGs. Trailers, ads, and websites promoting a game all need to be translated and localized. Targeted marketing campaigns for specific audiences internationally will be more efficient and successful as opposed to using just one general marketing strategy. Professional video game localization companies can help maximize the marketing effort for developers of RPGs.
