A good translation takes different language registers into consideration, as well as the context of the software. Be it a clear and concise technical description, a commentator's jargon, the slang of the streets, or historical texts - not one project resembles another in the end, as we always take the context and background of a product into consideration.

Our experienced team of translators and the international agencies we work with translate not only program texts, recording scripts, printed materials and packaging, but also promotional materials, website contents and press releases for all significant international markets. In order to guarantee a high linguistic quality, it is our policy to work exclusively with native speakers as translators and proofreaders.

You may provide us with your data in any desired form: We are capable of handling all common formats, and are also familiar with working in source code and HTML, as well as using special translation tools and/or databases.
Naturally, we are familiar with the terminology of all common computer and operating systems, consoles, and hand-held systems, and always stay on top of the latest developments. We will also edit in-game FMV sequences for you that contain text, as well as translate printed materials and the packaging for your product.

What you receive from us is more than a simple translation. We give you a convincing adaptation of your texts in the target language that lacks none of its original atmosphere, but gains individuality through the particularities of the target country.
