Works
Case Study
Multilingual translation and production of in-game banners
Platform iPhone / Android
In the release of overseas versions, creating multilingual versions of banners, UI icons, and other elements poses challenges such as uncertainty regarding accuracy due to lack of language proficiency, inability to design optimally for the cultural context of that language, and shortage of designer personnel. In DICO's localization, with translation teams of native speakers for each language and designers from diverse nationalities, we can provide image materials tailored to the cultural context during the creation of overseas versions.

Express response to large-scale translation projects
Platform iPhone / Android
Despite a short preparation and work period, we maximized internal resources and completed a large-volume translation of 600,000 Japanese characters within two months. Although the client had an urgent schedule, we were able to release with ample time.

Multilingual terminology organization and translation support for IP games
Platform iPhone / Android
Although it is a historically significant IP, existing translations in other languages across various media (manga, anime, existing games) were not organized or standardized. DICO's language specialists took the lead in analyzing and optimizing the usage of terms for players and fans of the IP, leading to the organization of IP terminology.

Multilingual translation of text created with a complex variable design system
Platform Nintendo Switch
The Japanese original text used a style of writing character traits for nearly 100 characters using 'generic text + specific variables.' However, reproducing this style was challenging in other languages due to limited grammar rules and variations. Nevertheless, since the early stages of development, DICO's localization team of native speakers of various languages got involved and proposed an optimal sentence construction system.

Simultaneous execution of LQA in over 10 languages
Platform PlayStation 5 / PlayStation 4 / Xbox Series / Steam / Nintendo Switch
For a popular game series by a major publisher, we conducted LQA in over 10 languages. We not only assigned native testers for languages with high translation frequency such as English, FIGS and Chinese but also for minor languages, thereby conducting QA to enhance translation quality.
