Professional gaming translation services

Games demand more than literal translation. A single misinterpreted variable or truncated UI string can break immersion, confuse players, or cause support escalations. From competitive multiplayer to narrative adventures, you need culturally accurate, technically robust localisation that reads and plays like the original—without risking platform rejections or community backlash.

Compliance is vital. UK and European releases require careful alignment with PEGI guidelines and GDPR disclosures, while global launches must meet platform standards across PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo, Steam, iOS, and Google Play. Translations for EULAs, privacy notices, and age rating submissions must be consistent and legally defensible across jurisdictions.

Market expansion hinges on localisation quality. Native‑level store listings, culturally adapted trailers, and clear onboarding reduce acquisition costs and boost retention. Even small UI improvements—units, date formats, or colloquialisms—can meaningfully raise conversion and lifetime value. For live ops, fast turnarounds keep events and updates aligned across regions.

Credibility matters. Kings of Translation pairs gaming‑savvy linguists with rigorous QA, ensuring tone, humour, and lore integrity resonate with local audiences. Our certified translations are accepted worldwide for commercial and legal use, and our UK‑based team supports British publishers, studios, and esports organisations expanding to and from international markets.

We assign domain‑specialist linguists—gamers, writers, and technical translators—who understand gameplay mechanics, genre conventions, and platform terminology. Style guides and project‑specific glossaries keep character names, abilities, and itemisation consistent across campaigns and sequels. Linguistic QA (LQA) and playtesting validate readability, line breaks, and UX in‑context.

Compliance sits at the core of our process. We align legal content with PEGI and GDPR expectations and ensure platform‑specific terminology matches Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, Valve, Apple, and Google guidelines. As a global agency, our certified translations are recognised worldwide, supporting legal documentation, publishing contracts, and partnership agreements in cross‑border releases.

Quality assurance combines human expertise with technology. We use translation memory and terminology databases to preserve consistency and reduce time‑to‑market. A three‑step review—translation, editing, and proofreading—ensures accuracy at scale. Pricing is straightforward: from £0.05 per word for standard content, with certified translations for legal documents at £29.90 per page.

Timelines flex to your roadmap. Short assets can be delivered in 24–48 hours; larger titles follow sprint‑based schedules and continuous localisation. With 120+ languages, 24/7 coordination, and a 98% customer return rate, Kings of Translation provides responsive, personalised service that keeps launches smooth and players satisfied across regions.

Our localisation engineers connect directly to your tools. We integrate with Git, Jira, and CI/CD pipelines, and support leading TMS platforms such as Phrase, Smartling, and Lokalise. For engines and storefronts, we work smoothly with Unity, Unreal Engine, Steamworks, PlayStation Partner, Xbox, Nintendo Developer Portal, App Store, and Google Play Consoles.

Automation reduces friction. API‑driven workflows pull and push strings, preserve placeholders, and validate character limits. Translation memory speeds recurring updates for live ops and seasonal events, while terminology management keeps franchises consistent across expansions and marketing beats. We also support ICU message formats and pluralisation rules to avoid runtime errors.

Scale without compromise. Dedicated project managers coordinate linguists, engineers, and LQA testers, monitoring velocity and quality through custom KPIs. Secure infrastructure, strict NDAs, and role‑based access protect unreleased content. With global coverage and UK‑based support, we deliver reliable, compliant releases—whether you’re optimising a mobile hit or launching a AAA franchise.
