Microsoft selects Translations.com as a localization partner.
Translations.com, a global leader in software localization services and translation-related technology products, today announced the successful localization of “Doritos Dash of Destruction,” a racing game that simultaneously launched in four languages (English, Spanish, French, and German) on Microsoft’s Xbox LIVE® Arcade on Wednesday, December 17, 2008.
“Doritos Dash of Destruction” is the first project completed by Translations.com on behalf of Microsoft Game Studios. Under Translations.com’s existing agreement with Microsoft, Translations.com may provide services to all Microsoft divisions. In addition to completing the three-language software localization for the game, Translations.com performed all language testing using the Xbox Development Kit (XDK).
President and CEO of Translations.com, Phil Shawe, noted, “Online games are the new frontier in global communication. People from countries all over the world meet and play games through the web. It is therefore becoming more and more essential that game developers make localization an integral part of each product launch. Microsoft Game Studios is at the forefront of the global gaming industry and we’re excited to play a role in the launch”
