I’m localizing games since 2020 and can say that translations from LLMs are flat and boring, and I’m not even talking about the hallucinations and critical mistakes. Localization isn’t a sinking ship. Anyone looking for quality above good enough shouldn’t rely on “AI”. Humans understand context, can read emotions, can give voice to characters, can make a game feel human. So, yeah, if you’re ok with good enough, you don’t even need to wait two years. Just throw all your game into an LLM today and be happy (and don’t forget to remove the prompt). We will be happy to have you as a client and fix the slop once things flop and players notice 🙂

I will give it two years before they say it can be done.
