Works
Case Study

Multilingual subtitle production for popular YouTuber videos

Platform YouTube

Regular production of multilingual subtitles for video content. From transcription to delivery of translated subtitles, DICO's dedicated team handles the process automatically after the client uploads the video. Besides regular translation requests, we can configure teams according to the client's management 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.

Multilingual voice recording

For overseas expansion, voice addition for translations into local languages was requested for the game. Collaborating with studios in Japan and overseas, DICO handled everything from selecting voice actors and directors to recording and delivery.

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.

Accurate cost proposals and consulting on localized target regions

Platform iPhone / Android

While it is a popular title, concerns arose about the escalating localization costs due to the large volume of words within the game. Taking into account the game's genre, we selected target languages and regions for localization. This allowed us to provide estimates more aligned with the client's budget.
