In a recent interview with 4Gamer<\/a>, Nihon Falcom\u2019s CEO Toshihiro Kondo shared his views on using AI to translate games. According to the creator, the company is open to potentially introducing AI into the initial stages of their localization process to make global rollout more efficient. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen developing a game, speed is an important factor. Until about 20 years ago, 80 to 90 percent of our players were Japanese. However, recently, the ratio of overseas users \u2013 especially from Asia, has been increasing. It has come to the point that if our games don\u2019t sell overseas, we could end up not being able to release games in Japan either.\u201d Against this background, Kondo considers that AI translation could be a way to shorten the time needed to get Nihon Falcom\u2019s games to audiences outside of Japan.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
