Getting Change Under Control: CMS in Game Localization
Anyone who has managed a localization project knows that successfully tracking updates and changes can make the difference between a positive outcome or anxiety-ridden final stages of production.
Localization for video games can be volatile and traditional tracking methods no longer suffice; that is why using a game-specific content management system (CMS) is becoming the standard.
During our talk, you will hear from our localization experts Dominick Kelly, Technology and Sales Director at XLOC, a Keywords studio, and Rebecca Guttentag, Localization Project Manager at Keywords Studios, along with Guest speakers Miguel Corti from Capcom and Kassi O'Connor from Glu. Each will share key insights and tips for leveraging CMS to make your projects more efficient.

Dominick Kelly is Director at XLOC, part of Keywords Studios. He is responsible for the KantanMT, AI, Skynet, XLOC client solutions and technology direction. After 17 years in the localization technology space, he still gets excited about the new innovations and unique solutions that fellow L10n professionals are driving around the world. “If there are two things I love, it’s making people think 'why not' and 'hell yeah'."
Working at STAR Group, RWS, XTM and Keywords Studios, Dominick has evolved into a mix of engineer and technology consultant. This unique blend means it easier to grasp the best path or the right solution.
