Once you have chosen a company to localize your game, you not only want a process that is smooth and efficient, but one that delivers high-quality results fast, frequently and within budget.  At LAI we have developed a proprietary game localization process that does exactly that. It’s based on an advanced workflow system we call ALF (Agile Game Localization Framework) that provides significant benefits over conventional game localization.  ALF enables translators, reviewers and other team members to work together efficiently, combining high-quality human translation with the efficiency of an automated workflow system.  This eliminates unnecessary steps in the game localization process that cost you precious time and money. 

ALF’s many benefits include: 

Lower cost

• Overall costs are reduced by eliminating overhead and streamlining communication among team members.
• Translation costs are reduced by reusing previous translations as much as possible.

Faster turnaround time

• Less overhead means less time wasted performing manual steps and faster time to delivery.
• Completed translations are available immediately for download.

Improved quality

• Built-in automated QA tools ensure that translations comply with text length restrictions and that item names, characters and place names are translated consistently throughout the game.
• Communication among team members is enhanced so questions can be answered quickly, further improving the quality of the translation.

Greater visibility and control for the game developer

• Our ALF client gives the game developer unparalleled visibility into and control over the localization process.
• Reports are available to help manage overall game localization cost.
