Sentient Gaming

Localization QA

App and Game Stores have made it effortless for games to gain an international audience. But the games need to be altered so players fluent in different languages can also follow the titles, instructions etc. To ensure that the translated text, speech and GUI are appropriate for the target market, Sentient conducts aggressive localization and internationalization testing. We employ localized testers who are proficient in local languages to review, correct and maintain accuracy of text throughout the game. With Sentient, you can rest assured the quality of the game doesn’t get lost in translation.

Toplitz Production

Oberhaching, Germany
We are working with SentientGaming for a year now and they have made the QA process efficient at our company.
It is easy to communicate with them and to program a playtest session. I ask questions regarding the most suitable playtest for the game. The bug tracking is precise and effective and I can rely on them without being a specialist QA. Sentient Gaming adapted to our database tool making the process fully integrated into our workflow.

Antler Interactive

Sweden

We have been very pleased with the service.  One minor point for improvement would be that it would be nice to have a bit more detail in terms of what has been covered each day (especially in the first couple of days), but once we saw the bugs coming through we could see they were of generally very good quality.  Therefore, I would probably rate the service as a 9 out of 10 and we would definitely consider you again for similar projects in the future.
