Why localize
Players notice when a game speaks to them.
Localization is not only a translation cost. It affects Steam discovery, wishlist intent, community reviews, and whether players trust the first five minutes of your game.
+50%
wishlist lift
Hooded Horse reported that localized Steam pages increased wishlist volume by roughly 50%; in East Asian markets, localization drove more than 90% of wishlists.
66%
non-English revenue
ECI's comparison showed Against the Storm earning 66% of revenue outside English-speaking countries, versus 30% for a less-localized peer.
Product
A localization workflow
shaped around game strings.
Generic TMS tools are built for software teams. Transloot is tuned for indie game files, recurring patches, tone-sensitive text, and the weird little terms that matter.
Termbase protection
Keep skill names, item names, and lore consistent
Add your termbase once. Transloot tells the AI which terms to preserve or translate consistently, so "Firebolt" does not drift into three different names.
Translation brief
Give the AI context before it writes
Pixel RPG, cozy sim, dark comedy, cyberpunk. A project brief carries genre, audience, tone, and style notes into every translation request.
Incremental translation
Patch often without redoing the whole project
Translation memory and file diffing keep existing work in place. Upload the next build, translate only new or changed strings, then export again.

Quality scoring
Find the strings that need review first.
Paid plans add AI QA scoring across accuracy, fluency, terminology, and style match. Use it to prioritize review instead of reading every line with the same level of suspicion.
- 0–100 quality scores for translated strings
- Issue groups for terminology, style, grammar, and omissions
- Suggested fixes that stay editable in the review flow
