"Accurate, fast, attentive."

4.5/5

Describe the project or task Localize Direct helped with:

LD helped us with a huge PC RPG called INSOMNIA: The Ark, which has more than 160.000 words of dialogues and other in-game texts. Their job was to proofread the English translation from the previous translation agency because the translations contained a ton of terrible mistakes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Localize Direct?

I liked the attitude of the managers. They were very polite and were always ready to assist or meet you halfway in case there was an issue.

Also we were happy with the proofreading that LD has done. The texts got much more understandable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
