Translation management system designed for game development

Simple collaboration

Work with developers, translation teams, and QA testers within the same platform. Track changes, share strings, and control access to the source and translated text. Use our translation services or any vendor you like - we won’t lock you in.

Version control

Never miss new parts that should be translated or amends that should be retranslated. LocDirect tracks all changes and you can assign strings to various releases. Version control of each string lets you start translating earlier, giving you more flexibility and reducing translation costs.

Fix loc bugs in 1 minute

Set character- or pixel-based text limits. Translators will work to the limits you set, which dramatically reduces the number of overlong strings. The QA team can also interact directly with the translated text and fix those on the fly, without disturbing the programming team.

No more manual export-import

Forget about spreadsheets: build generators can be set up simply to generate your in- or out-game content in the file you wish. Link audio & video samples to the strings to increase the quality of your localization.

Change content in a running game

Assign multiple languages to your project - right from the beginning. Request & update translations even in runtime for greater accuracy. Generate a file in your preferred format and place that wherever you wish on your network.

Robust API integration

Set up your LocDirect project to work directly with your game. Push strings to and from LocDirect with our robust API. Streamline your process with Unity, Unreal, Wwise, JIRA, MemoQ, Memsource and many others. Accessible on MacOS, Windows and Linux.

By the way, did you know that we've recently rolled out Gridly - the only headless CMS in the world tailor-made for games?

Fixing a cutoff translation normally takes 1 week (enter a bug, shorten the translation, wait for a new build, regress the bug to ensure the shorter translation is no longer cutoff), but with LocDirect's Runtime String Update feature, only 1 minute.

LocDirect has allowed us to carry on a brisk pace of live operations in our game and efficiently and quickly get 5000+ words translated each week for our events. The LocDirect system has also made it such that we didn't have to hire a person specifically to handle complex spreadsheets going back and forth between game team and translators.

We have used LocalizeDirect for our localisation needs on a number of titles now, and have found them to be professional, timely and very accommodating to the demands and often short notice changes required when creating our games. The LocDirect DB tool is an added bonus as it makes the process of importing, exporting, adding, changing or clarifying any of the text very easy.

LocalizeDirect is exceptional and very professional in every way. As someone with often urgent tasks and huge amounts of text, I can't stop wondering how well they handle this mix of mess and urgency. Fast, convenient and good price for the service.
