Game localization that helps you launch on time, everywhere

Your game deserves a global audience, but traditional localization slows you down. Without visual context, translators make mistakes that lead to endless revisions. Bugs slip through QA, forcing expensive last-minute fixes. Managing vendors, file formats, and approvals turns every release into a stressful delay.

XTM changes that. Translators get full visual context, workflows are automated from code repository to final build, and AI-driven quality checks keep errors out. The result: faster launches, fewer bugs, and game localization that keeps pace with development.

Game localization that fits your development cycle

Deliver authentic player experiences while accelerating time-to-market with automation and context-aware tools.

Visual context for accurate video game localization

With our Visual Software Localization, translators see exactly what players will see, creating immersive dialogue that fits perfectly.

  • Preview text live on 3D models and UI layouts
  • Character portraits and video clips provide emotional context
  • Brand safety filters catch inappropriate content automatically

Automated workflows for simultaneous release

Keep global release deadlines by connecting source control directly to final game builds.

  • New strings automatically flow from Git and Perforce
  • Custom workflows route content to specialist teams
  • Finished translations push back into builds without manual steps

AI-driven quality assurance for games

Direct your QA team where they’re needed most.

  • AI quality scoring flags problematic translations automatically
  • In-game bug reporting generates tickets with screenshots and metadata
  • Real-time query resolution speeds up testing cycles

Consistency across your franchise

Protect your IP across main games, DLC, and marketing campaigns.

  • Translation memory ensures character names and lore stay consistent
  • Terminology management enforces universe-specific language rules
