"Transcreation in Video Games"

Presented by

Marina Ilari

Florencia Fole

Since the primary goal in video game localization is not to be rigidly faithful to the original content but to entertain the players, transcreation is one of the tools that translators can use to make adaptations that fit better their target language and culture. This webinar will explore where transcreation can be present in video games – this can range from marketing content to even the title of the game. Translators often need to modify or even remove components that interfere with the player’s experience in a certain target market. Join us on this webinar to explore how transcreation is applied to the diverse, multilingual content of video games and what strategies you can use as a translator to tackle these projects.
