Your game, playable in any language.
Indie teams ship in one language and wonder why half the world scrolls past. We translate your game into the languages your players actually speak - carefully, by hand, at a price a small studio can pay.
ScrollTraLed localizes games and interactive projects.
Six things decide whether a translated build feels native or feels translated. Here is how we handle each one.
Agencies charge what a small team cannot justify. We price so an indie studio can actually say yes - and more games get localized because of it.
Three steps to a finished localization - and one promise that outlives the invoice.
We go over the details of your project together. Want proof first? Send up to 600 words of anything and we return it translated within five working days - free, no obligation.
A 30% deposit starts the work. Nothing is translated in a single sweep:
You get the localization and every working file. Drop it into your game, run it, check it sits right. The balance is due only then.
TraLed is a service you can lean on. Keeping it that way is the whole job.
The whole route from first message to final payment - and the link after it that stays open for free.
Every detail agreed up front. A free 600-word test translation if you want proof first.
Once scope and final price are settled, a 30% deposit opens the job.
The production run itself: five passes, terminology, manual rewriting, final read.
The finished localization and every working file, back in your own format.
The remaining balance, once the work is in your hands and running in your build.
Want something changed months later? Ask, and we re-localize or add that part completely free - on any project we have worked on.
Localization is not decoration on a finished game. It decides which regional storefronts the algorithm is allowed to put you on - and whether the players who land there stay.
The store's regional recommendations, tags and "More like this" shelves lean on the languages your page declares. Unlisted language, unvisited shelf.
Steam lets buyers narrow the catalogue to titles they can read. An English-only page is filtered out of that list before anyone sees the art.
Players who get their own language leave more reviews and fewer refunds - and review volume is what keeps a small title visible after launch week.
A wishlist added in a local language converts harder on discount day, because nothing about the page asks the buyer to work for it.
Marketing reach and the way the game actually feels to play are the same problem. Localization solves both at once.
Full examples, file formats and the reasoning behind each choice live on the samples page.

Write to us below, attach the text and name the language. Within five working days you get the finished localization back. If it convinces you, we take on the full volume.
The same €0.04 per word, with a volume discount. Glossary and proofreading included.
For small projects with a small amount of text. You pay per word, and corrections on everything we deliver stay free.
Up to 3000 words per language, instead of €360. About 20% off.
