Date Published: 10/08/2022

Video game translation has the power to unite communities and provide global audiences with the immersive experiences that they deserve. At Keywords, we make this possible for our clients through our talented team of experts, all highly skilled in the art of linguistics.

Three of our specialists in this field, Atticus Lai, Mengru Tsai and Wing Yan Tang, recently sat down with our Localization team to offer some insights into the intricacies of translating to Chinese, the world’s most spoken language.
