Game Translation and Localization
Preserve the game world and connect with players
TanViet translates game content, from storylines and dialogue to interfaces and guides. Character names, items and terminology are organized consistently so the translation suits the game world and experience.
Scope of game translation and localization
Interface and systems
Menus, settings, messages, instructions and interaction states.
Items and skills
Names, descriptions, attributes and terminology within game mechanics.
Release content
Store descriptions, introductions, update announcements and player support.
Consistent names and authentic character voices
Materials on setting, character relationships and dialogue style help guide suitable wording. We record rules for proper names, items and terminology to avoid inconsistent names across quests, interfaces and guides.
Variables, color tags, control codes and character limits must be clearly separated from translatable text. For content that appears in multiple states or branches, screenshots and contextual descriptions support review; playtesting and linguistic testing are defined separately.

Frequently asked questions
Can the translation preserve a character's style?
Dialogue style can be developed from character materials and approved examples. Forms of address and naming conventions should be agreed before translating multiple chapters.
How are games with frequent updates managed?
Content is organized by version and string key. New or changed sections should be marked so terminology can be reused and omissions avoided.
Is in-game testing included?
Linguistic testing can be included in the scope if a test build and access are available. Devices, screens and content to be tested are confirmed in advance.
What factors determine the quotation?
Costs depend on volume, language pair, specialist complexity, formatting and deadline. TanViet reviews documents before confirming the quote; additional services are clearly discussed within the scope.
