How can you ensure high-quality localization?
At Altagram, “good enough” isn’t good enough. We aim for “legendary” in everything we do. Our approach to localization is built on three pillars: expert talent, comprehensive oversight, and quality checks at each stage. That’s how we make sure that every project hits the mark, for you and for your players.
Our project managers don’t just assign tasks, they build a dream team of trusted translators, and testers, audio experts, veteran specialists, and lore masters. Armed with in-depth knowledge and a burning passion for games, they get creative to bring every nuance of your game to life in a new language. Their expertise, combined with our finely tuned workflows, ensures that your game feels right at home in any market.
What is the difference between translation and localization?
Translation is about making content understandable in another language. It can include anything from simple summaries to nuanced transcreation, but localization takes things even further.
When you take your game global, translation isn’t enough. You want players to step into a world where every sign, every dialogue, and every joke feels native, right down to the pop culture references. That’s the magic of localization.Localization adapts your game’s content to the new target market—by weaving in local expressions, historical context, customs, and idioms—so players everywhere get an authentic, immersive experience.
What makes Altagram different from other video game localization companies?
Altagram is a boutique-style agency with a global presence, specializing in video game localization, voice-over, and QA services. With offices on three continents, we’re ready to work closely with you no matter what time zone you’re in.
We know that the biggest challenge in video game localization is finding the perfect balance between scalability, quality, and personal attention. And that’s where we shine. Our finely tuned workflows and cutting-edge tech let us partner seamlessly with everyone—from small indie studios to AAA giants—delivering results that speak for themselves.
Big or small, simple or complex, we’re here to help your game succeed in the global marketplace. For us, delivering outstanding results isn’t just a goal, it’s our standard. But don't take our word for it: check out what players and critics are saying about us here.
How long will my project take, and what if I need it sooner than planned?
Every game is unique, so timelines depend on the specifics of your project. How much content will we localize? How many languages do you need? Any special requirements or tricky side quests? We’re pros at balancing speed with quality and precision, delivering 99.9% of our work on time.
Need to adjust the schedule or speed things up? We can make it work. Our flexible, scalable workflows can handle anything from urgent, same-day requests to multi-year localization marathons. By keeping quality, time, and cost in perfect harmony, we’re able to deliver immersive, authentic localizations, even when the clock is ticking.
What is your crediting policy?
We’re strong believers in the power of community and keeping things transparent. That’s why we make sure every member of our localization teams gets the recognition they deserve. Check out our crediting policy to see how we celebrate our collective achievements and shine a spotlight on every contributor’s role in the game.
What does boutique-style experience mean?
At Altagram, boutique-style service is all about keeping it personal. For every project, we craft a custom plan that fits like a glove. And we’re proud of the long-term connections we’ve built with linguists, voice-over studios, and clients—many of whom we’ve teamed up with for over a decade.
We also go the extra mile to be the best co-op partner we can. At Altagram, you’re never just another project on our to-do list. We collaborate, listen closely, and respond fast (usually within 24 hours) because we believe that every project deserves the best!
Do you use AI?
Yes, but only when it’s a real power-up for the game and our clients.
Since 2016, we've teamed up with our sister company, Alocai, to pioneer AI-driven tools and workflows. They help us streamline our workflows to take your game global faster and more cost-effectively without ever compromising on quality.
Our approach is simple: we use AI and automation to help our expert team work better and smarter, not to replace them. Human creativity, precision, and quality are at the heart of everything we do. We only add AI to the mix with your consent, and if it’s the best strategy for your particular project. At Altagram, we aren’t just adapting to the future, we’re actively shaping it, one project at a time.
What are the advantages of trusting Altagram with all services? (Text, VO, Testing…)
Imagine preparing your game for a global audience without the hassle of coordinating multiple vendors for translation, voice recording, and testing. Altagram brings all of these services under one roof, so you don’t need to keep all those plates spinning. Instead, you have a single point of contact so you’re free to focus on the bigger picture, making your game absolutely awesome.
Handing everything over to us is not only easier for you—the results are better, too. Managing a multilingual release is no easy quest, but our team has collected enough XP to handle it all without breaking a sweat. We coordinate the entire process from start to finish, which means seamless collaboration, better productivity, and consistent style, tone, and quality across all the languages you offer. It’s like equipping a full set of rare gear before an end-boss fight.What does it cost?
The cost depends on which markets you want to reach, the level of immersion you are aiming for, and the size and complexity of your game. Text? Audio? All of the above? As a boutique agency, we’ll create a tailored plan that suits your game, vision, and budget.
Whether you are crafting the next AAA hit or pouring your heart into an indie passion project, we promise not just competitive pricing but the perfect balance of quality and cost. Get in touch, and we’ll get back to you with a custom quote faster than a chocobo at full speed.
Do you do pro-bono work?
Yes, we proudly offer pro-bono services. Whether it's celebrating the LGBTIQ+ community, promoting sustainability, raising awareness of refugee or peace crises, or supporting women in leadership roles, we are committed to making a difference.
Did you know that only 30% of leadership roles in the gaming industry are held by women? It’s time for change. Marie Amigues, our CEO, is also passionate about offering mentorship through organizations like TechCult and GrowF. Feel free to connect with her on LinkedIn.
