The right translators for your game, a workflow that fits yours, and quality scored, not assumed. Start with one task — one less thing to worry about.
Four pieces of our work — across genres and scopes.
From translation and QA to voice-over and video — all in one place, or just the piece you need.
Find and fix quality issues in your existing translations, whatever the source — another vendor, internal team, or AI. What LQA looks like in your case depends on your goals, pain points, and budget.
We check your existing translations against a database of common issues — placeholder errors, line breaks, capitalization, terminology drift — and focus review only on the risky strings. You spend your budget on the problems that actually matter, not blanket proofreading.
We evaluate your translations using MQM methodology — accuracy, fluency, terminology, style — and deliver a TQI score. Hard data, not gut feelings. Run it once for a snapshot, or set up regular checks to track quality across updates.
We play through your build, spot language issues in UI, tutorials, and story — fix what we can, report on the rest with actionable notes.
We flag content that could hurt your ratings or trigger regional bans, and suggest safer alternatives.
Community translations? Freelancer patchwork? Terms drifting? Players notice — and leave. We design an LQA process that fits your setup and budget, so your localization feels polished and players actually want to stay.
Native linguists who play your genre translate your game. Your fantasy RPG gets translators who know the difference between a lich and a wraith — not someone who plays a match-3 game from time to time.
UI, dialogues, item descriptions, tutorials, achievements. Native speakers who use these terms in their own gaming, not dictionary definitions.
App store descriptions, website copy, social posts, and ads adapted for each market so your promotions speak the way local players actually talk.
Jokes, idioms, and cultural references adapted so your game feels native to each region. Before we start, we align on what 'adaptation' means for your project — no surprises at delivery.
Characters, locations, items, abilities — all named consistently across every language and every update. We build and maintain your glossary and translation memory so terms don't drift.
Human translation is our default. On projects where AI can deliver the same quality for less, we identify those opportunities and recommend a specific setup. If you'd rather keep it fully human, we're with you on that — no convincing, no workarounds.
Weekly patches, seasonal events, new DLC — new strings land in all languages on your schedule. No market left waiting.
We play through your build in every language to catch localization issues in context — problems that hurt player experience or block purchases.
Menus, buttons, inventory, controls — the first thing players see. We catch truncated texts, overlapping strings, broken variables before they tank your reviews — and checkout issues before they cost you sales.
Confusing tutorial? Players quit before the game even starts. We check localization of every onboarding element — tutorial levels, training modes, starter quests — so nothing gets lost in translation when it matters most.
Story drives retention. We check character voice, humor, and tone — plus term consistency across dialogues. Your narrative stays yours — in every language.
Typos, wrong terms, language errors — we fix them directly. Code-side issues? Your dev team gets screenshots and exact fixes — one report, no guesswork.
We run localization compatibility testing on mobile and PC — making sure your game renders and functions correctly in every language. Console testing is available too — availability varies by platform and locale, so get in touch to confirm.
Professional voice acting in 100+ languages that keeps your game's emotional punch — with producers who know how to get it right.
We pick native-speaking talents who match your characters' personality — and deliver performances that carry the same emotion across every language.
Character dialogues and narrator lines performed by native actors — so players in every region get the same immersion. Lip-sync, time sync? Will do.
Accessible gaming with smooth, well-timed captions that don't block the action.
Audio effects like echo, radio crackle, or robotic filters — plus files sliced, named, and formatted exactly how your dev team expects.
Trailers and teasers that show what makes your game worth playing — and make viewers want to hit download.
Already have a trailer? We produce localized versions with dubbed voice-over and translated captions for each market.
Motion designers bring scripts to life using your assets or creating the video from scratch.
Promo videos designed to grab attention and encourage downloads. We deliver fast and in any aspect ratio, formatted to each platform's specs — App Store, ad networks, you name it.
Whether it’s a fully human translation or an AI-powered one, quality at Alconost is scored, tracked, and explainable. Here’s how.
The industry standard for evaluating translation quality. Each linguist is scored through LQA reviews — every error classified by category and impact. Our baseline TQI threshold is 95%. Need a stricter threshold? We filter by a higher TQI score on request.
Our proprietary metric for AI-assisted projects. We test multiple engines on your actual content — scoring each with nTER, BLEU, ChrF, BERTScore, COMET, and COMET QE, then adding human linguist assessment on top. The AQI score combines all metric results into a single objective rating — so we can recommend the best-fit engine for your specific content and language pair.
Already have a translation — from another vendor, your internal team, or AI? We apply TQI methodology to evaluate it: every issue is classified and weighted by how much it matters. You see exactly where the problems are and which ones need attention first.
Want to know more about how we approach quality?
Request a QuoteSome studios we work with already have a localization vendor. They come to us when a specific track needs extra hands.
While your main vendor stays focused on the game, we handle store pages, trailers, press kits, and launch campaigns — in the languages and tone each market expects.
A linguist walks through your live build — menus, purchase flow, onboarding — and finds what the spreadsheet missed. We fix what we can directly. The rest goes to your team with clear recommendations and priority order.
There's still time before the next markets go live. We audit the problem language, fix what's there, and bring those lessons into the next locale — so the same issues don't travel.
If localization isn’t set up yet, we build the foundation — workflow, the right linguist team, glossaries, quality control, and integrations that fit your environment. We handle the setup so you can focus on the game.
Everything we build together — glossaries, translation memory, style guides — stays yours. Fully exportable, no lock-in.
The basics, plus the bits that matter when you ship across platforms.
Perforce, GitHub, GitLab, AWS, proprietary tools — we adapt. Source strings in, translated strings back, flowing automatically. If you can export strings, we can work with it. Your devs push and pull via API or CLI with a single command.
Translations sync with every release for all content types. Linguists stay assigned to your project long-term. String changes trigger automatic jobs — no spreadsheets, no email chains, no missed updates.
Human translation is our starting point. When AI can deliver the same quality at lower cost, we find that setup and recommend it — engine, workflow, and scope included. The choice is always yours; we make sure it's an informed one.
To find the right engine for AI-assisted projects, we test multiple models directly on your content using six automated metrics plus human linguist assessment. All results feed into a single AQI score — an objective, numbers-backed answer to which engine fits your content and language pair best. That means the recommendation we make is grounded in your project, not general benchmarks.
Every translator on your project works in games — that’s our baseline. When your project calls for it, we go deeper and match by genre too.

The small set of things studios tell us made the difference once we started working together.
Character speech patterns, implied subtext, humor that needs to land — we get into all of it. Our translators genuinely enjoy that part.
Send 1,500 characters one month, 150,000 the next — we're ready to scale up and down. No penalties, no attitude.
When AI can save budget without touching quality, we find that setup and recommend it. You don't have to figure out where AI fits — that's our job.
For active projects with urgent requests, we have a fast lane.
| Response | Delivery | Volume | |
|---|---|---|---|
| > Urgent | 1 hour | 12 hours | ≤200 words |
| Standard | 3–12 hrs | 12–24 hrs | flexible |
“Alconost fully takes care of all possible nuances that may arise during the translation process.”
“In all the years Vizor and Alconost have been working together, we've never had quality problems. I feel confident they'll never let us down.”
“Communication with the manager is straightforward and any issues are promptly addressed.”
“We love working with Alconost! Our main point of contact is localization manager Nadzeya, who is always friendly and accessible whenever we have issues. The translation is of high quality, and the communication is transparent.”
“China is a huge market. We have already recouped the localization costs. Our first sales event after completion of the localization project demonstrated that China is now one of our top markets for 'Punch Club.'”
Three approaches; the right fit depends on the project. Pick one and we’ll quote it on your content within a business day.
100% human translation, end to end.
Human translation with targeted quality testing on the content that matters most.
For high-volume content where budget matters — with human review on every word.
Game localization pricing depends on your language pairs, content volume, and service level. A flat rate per word wouldn’t tell the full story — a match-3 mobile game and a narrative console RPG are different projects in every sense. We’ll give you an accurate quote based on your actual project — usually within 24 hours.
No setup fees. No subscriptions. We integrate with your existing workflow or build one from scratch.
