Ship games globally without the localisation headaches

Game localisation is about far more than swapping words between languages. It adapts dialogue, cultural references, humour, and even gameplay elements to feel authentic for each region. For example, character interactions, in-jokes, or tutorials may need to be rewritten to match cultural expectations without losing the emotional impact of your story. Done properly, localisation preserves immersion and ensures players feel the game was created with them in mind, not just translated after the fact.

Yes. XTM integrates seamlessly with the tools your development team already uses. Our platform connects directly to GitHub, GitLab, Unity, Unreal Engine, and even custom game engines through a REST API. This means translations sync automatically with your builds, without developers needing to manually upload files or copy text. By embedding localisation into your existing workflow, XTM reduces friction, saves engineering time, and ensures localisation updates happen in step with development milestones.

Without context, translators risk creating awkward or incorrect strings. With XTM’s visual translation mode, linguists see exactly how text will appear in your game, including UI layouts, dialogue boxes, character animations, and 3D environments. This allows them to tailor translations that fit within design constraints and maintain narrative tone. It also prevents common issues such as text overflow, broken menus, or mistranslations that break immersion. Ultimately, it helps players feel like the game was written natively for them.

XTM supports over 880 languages and regional variants, covering all major gaming markets worldwide. This includes complex writing systems such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, as well as right-to-left languages like Arabic and Hebrew. Beyond direct translation, we also account for cultural adaptation, ensuring humour, idioms, and references make sense to local players. Whether you’re targeting a few extra regions or planning a simultaneous global release, XTM has the coverage needed to reach every market.

XTM’s AI-powered Intelligent Score system continuously evaluates translation quality as content is produced. It uses machine learning to flag potential issues, such as grammar errors, inconsistent terminology, or strings that don’t fit UI layouts. These flagged segments are then prioritised for human review, ensuring testers focus where they’re needed most. This reduces the overall QA workload, shortens release cycles, and prevents costly errors from reaching players. The result is higher quality localisations, delivered more efficiently.

Yes. Games are made up of many different content types, and XTM is built to handle them all. This includes UI strings, dialogue scripts, cutscene subtitles, tutorial text, marketing materials, patch notes, and community updates. Each content category can follow its own customised workflow to ensure appropriate levels of review and approval. This flexibility means you can manage all localisation tasks — from quick patches to large expansions — in one central platform without sacrificing quality or speed.

Consistency is critical when building an ongoing franchise. XTM uses Translation Memory to store every approved translation, making it easy to reuse text across sequels, DLCs, and expansions. Terminology management ensures character names, locations, and lore are always translated correctly, preserving the integrity of your game universe. This avoids continuity errors that can break immersion for loyal players. With XTM, studios can maintain a cohesive narrative world, even as their game catalogue grows and evolves.

Protecting your intellectual property is a top priority. XTM meets strict enterprise-grade security standards, including ISO 27001 certification, GDPR compliance, and SOC 2 attestation. Game files, scripts, and localisation assets are encrypted and safeguarded throughout the entire process. Access controls ensure only authorised users can interact with your content, and data handling policies meet global compliance requirements. With XTM, you can collaborate confidently with global teams, knowing your creative assets and player data are fully protected.
