Abstract:
Video games are part of the growing digital entertainment industry for which
game localization has become pivotal in serving international markets. As well
as addressing the practical needs of the industry to facilitate translator and
localizer training, this book seeks to conceptualize game localization in an
attempt to locate it in Translation Studies in the context of the
technologization of contemporary translation practices. Designed to provide a
comprehensive introduction to the topic of game localization the book draws on
the literature in Game Studies as well as Translation Studies. The book’s
readership is intended to be translation scholars, game localization
practitioners and those in Game Studies developing research interest in the
international dimensions of the digital entertainment industry. The book aims
to provide a road map for the dynamic professional practices of game
localization and to help readers visualize the expanding role of translation
in one of the 21st century's key global industries.
