Global by Design

I recently interviewed Heather Chandler, author of The Game Localization Handbook.

Game localization is much more than a niche industry these days. Today, video games may be console-based, Internet-based, and even phone-based. It’s a fascinating, emerging industry. In the interview, Heather provides a number of insights:

• Game localization is a growth industry. Heather provides tips for those who want to join.
• Game localization presents very unique challenges. Find out what Healther learned when localizing a WWII flight-simulation game for Germany.
• Find out what game developer does the best job of game localization.
• Find out how long it takes to localize a video game for a new market.
