Here are a few challenges you might encounter along the way. 1. INEFFICIENT PROCEDURES AND A LACK OF UNDERSTANDING The most common obstacle is idle time spent waiting. Because developers must respond to a large number of questions, other issues, such as a translator failing to meet a deadline, can also arise. Tight deadlines, complicated files, and a lack of context for translation are all common problems. 2. TIME LIMITATION FOR THE LQA PROCESS The LQA (Linguistic Quality Assurance) process is the key bottleneck in game localisation. LQA is often performed at the end of the procedure when the pressure on the release is highest. LQA is a critical step in which you see the game from the eyes of our future players. Itโs risky to cut corners at that phase. 3. RATE AGREEMENTS AND LOCALISATION AS AN INFERIOR RACE The difficulty in negotiating game localisation prices is often pushed down and down. Often, game development teams believe that all their creative thinking and development is complete. Enticing linguists for their surely outstanding work is a challenging task. If they are to translate a gaming experience into their native tongue, linguists must be competent writers. After completing the translation, we advise that you perform Linguistic Quality Assurance (LQA). During testing, cosmetic and contextual errors may be found, which distract from the translation. ▲ Collapse | | | Samuel Murray Netherlands Local time: 10:12 Member (2006) English to Afrikaans + ...

Mounir, Since December 2022, you've posted four 'guidelines/articles' similar to this one in the Forum section. As others, I don't think this is the right place for them. I would suggest you to try the dedicated Translation Articles section, instead. Here's the link, https://www.proz.com/translation-articles/articles/submitarticle HTH | | |

It feels like big gamedevs changed their business strategy - they switched from milking cows to butchery. "When the train's about to crash, jump from it with lots of cash." Low rates, tight deadlines, bad quality of source text - you name it.
