FAQ
-
Q. Do you provide services beyond translation, such as LQA and culturalization?
A.Yes. In addition to translation, we offer Localization QA (LQA) and culturalization services. Our goal is not only linguistic accuracy but also ensuring that content feels natural and culturally appropriate for players in each target market.
-
Q. How is Localization QA (LQA) different from translation?
A.LQA focuses on validating localized content within the actual game environment. In addition to checking linguistic accuracy, LQA identifies issues such as text truncation, display problems, contextual inconsistencies, and unnatural expressions to help ensure a seamless player experience.
-
Q. What is culturalization?
A.Culturalization helps adapt content to the cultural expectations of specific markets. Our specialists review content for potential cultural sensitivities, regional preferences, and market-specific considerations, helping reduce localization risks and improve player acceptance.
-
Q. Can you support localization into multiple languages?
A.Yes. We support localization projects ranging from a single target language to large-scale multilingual releases. By combining translation, LQA, and culturalization services, we help ensure a high-quality and market-appropriate experience across regions.

Q. What is CERO Rating System ?
A.The system is to indicate target ages of potential game players based on content and expressions of games released in Japan. An indicated "age classification mark" represents that the game has been reviewed according to the CERO Code of Ethic and that the game includes content suitable for the game players of the indicated age and above. On behalf of publisher, we will handle this CERO review application process.
