Abstract:
This book is a multidisciplinary study of the translation and localisation of
video games. It offers a descriptive analysis of the industry – understood as
a global phenomenon in entertainment – and aims to explain the norms governing
present industry practices, as well as game localisation processes.
Additionally, it discusses particular translation issues that are unique to
the multichannel nature of video games, in which verbal and nonverbal signs
must be cohesively combined with interactivity to achieve maximum playability
and immerse players in the game’s virtual world. Although positioned within
the theoretical framework of descriptive translation studies,
Bernal-Merino incorporates research from audiovisual translation, software
localisation, computer assisted translation, comparative literature, and video
game production. Moving beyond this framework, Translation and Localisation in
Video Games challenges some of the basic tenets of translation studies and
proposes changes to established and unsatisfactory processes in the video game
and language services industries.
