Translation and Localization

During many years of practical work, the specialists of DAS TEAM/locaTRANS have successfully completed localization and translation projects in various media sectors. Many of "our" games have received awards and critical acclaim for translation and audio because our translators are specialists in their respective fields.

Our range of services is continually widening and adapting to the needs and expectations of clients and consumers. Today we do not only offer translation of computer games into German from English or French source text, but also special adaptation of these texts to meet the unique requirements of the German market. We also offer studio recordings of spoken text as well as editing and integration of audio files.

In short: your project is competently dealt with from beginning to end! State-of-the-art applications and tools are used during translation and project management, ensuring that your work maintains the highest of standards and consistency in style and terms throughout the entire project.

Audio

Apart from requesting the complete localization of screen text, manuals and documentation of all kinds, the quality standards of audio elements are being given more attention than ever before by the consumer and therefore have become an important element in every successful multi-media title.

To satisfy this essential requirement DAS TEAM/locaTRANS is producing high quality audio with state-of-the art recording studios. It doesn’t matter whether the project requires traditional multi-track tape or sophisticated digital recording methods – our studios will handle it, along with the creation of complex sound effects. We can offer the simplest of recordings, right up to complicated lip-synchronization scenes with any number of actors, in high quality cinematic standards.

Our pool of experienced voice-over talents not only includes well known names from the German radio and television industry, but also official voice-over actors for international movie greats.
