Show Notes

Why is the gaming industry pushing back against AI translation while the rest of the tech world rushes to adopt it? This week on LocToday, game localization expert Tamara Tirják joins the show to unpack the fierce competition and high stakes of the video game market.

She explains why cutting the localization budget to save "peanuts" on a massive production is a terrible business decision that immediately alienates players. We also dive into the exciting return of the Game Global event in Vancouver, the crucial alignment needed between creative developers and commercial publishers, and why true "culturalization" requires a human touch that machines simply cannot replicate.
