Game Localization with memoQ TMS

Correct and consistent terminology is a pillar of game localization. With memoQ’s term bases, you can make sure that specific words and expressions are always translated the same way for better translation quality, and a great player experience.

memoQ TMS offers a wide range of filters for the gaming industry (such as the Multilingual Excel File Filter, which allows you to easily work with multilingual Excel or CSV sheets). memoQ is also very flexible and allows you to create your own custom filters with regular expressions to manage the complex file types used in the gaming industry.

Often, during or after the completion of a project, the source text changes and there is a new version of the original document. You likely don’t want to manually check for changes and update the translation. That’s exactly what
X-Translate is for. It allows you to reimport an already translated file into memoQ, and it automatically populates the unchanged content—then, you can go ahead and translate the rest of the segments.

A unique attribute of translation memories in memoQ is that it can store string IDs in addition to textual information. This allows memoQ to identify the text flow and the associated string ID in the matches coming from the translation memory for even more precise results. This can significantly improve the quality and speed up the process.

Machine translation is widely used by individual translators as well as translation companies and departments, especially when high volumes of text need to be translated quickly. The machine translation output is then edited by human translators with a process known as machine translation post-editing. memoQ TMS can be connected to most major machine translation engines through plugins, and even train your own models.

memoQ also offers AI-based quality estimation (AIQE) when using machine translation. With the help of quality estimates, you will be able to easily assess the quality of machine-translated content provided by the various MT engines in memoQ.

memoQ’s Content Connector is a software module that removes repetitive steps by automating the import of source texts to and the export of translation output from memoQ TMS through a watch folder, saving precious time. Through the content connector, memoQ server can receive content from file folders, version control systems, content management systems, and other sources. It also checks if the source contains new or updated strings, so you don’t need to worry about changes in your source text.
