The present study provides a literature review of research carried out in Iran on video game localization since 2009 to address this gap. The reviews revealed that studies on Iranian game localization fall into translational, social, cultural and political, and historical categories. The review also showed that the translational aspect is the most explored area followed by social, cultural and political, and historical aspects. The historical aspect has received the least attention in the literature, specifically in academic publications. This paper offers potential areas for future research on game localization in Iran in each aspect.","PeriodicalId":36199,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Internationalization and Localization","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41494202","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using a list of ten COVID-19 terms previously\u0000 identified by Bowker (2020) as having different equivalents in Canadian French and\u0000 European French, we evaluate the ability of Microsoft Translator to localize these terms into the two varieties of French. The\u0000 findings indicate that while this tool does a good job of localizing the terms into Canadian French, it also uses a high number of\u0000 Canadian French terms when the target language is set to “French”. One potential reason for this may be that the corpus used to\u0000 train the tool for “French” contains a disproportionate number of examples from Canadian sources, and so there may be a problem of\u0000 bias where the tool is amplifying Canadian French in the machine translation output.","PeriodicalId":36199,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Internationalization and Localization","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47068499","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Written from the perspective of a localization project manager at Vitaccess, which conducts global digital\u0000 research for biopharmaceutical companies, this paper discusses five core challenges that impact the localization of such a study\u0000 launched in France, Italy, Germany, Belgium, Spain, Japan, the UK, the US and Canada, conducted via a smartphone app. The\u0000 localization project manager role provides a bridge between translators, revisers, ethics bodies, authors, legal, and medical\u0000 reviewers, enabling oversight to keep the balance between launching the study globally and enabling each country to have the\u0000 content and structure tailored to their cultural and linguistic expectations through localization.\u0000 The main challenges in localizing a real-world evidence study is the complexity and volume of ethical, legal, and\u0000 medical feedback required for the content of the study, which is further complicated by the need to target different countries and\u0000 languages. Subjectivity and variance in the feedback per country also pose difficulties. International harmonisation of ethical,\u0000 medical, and legal reviews of such global studies could streamline the process.","PeriodicalId":36199,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Internationalization and Localization","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42794169","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The localization of video games into less widely spoken languages that share a common history 将电子游戏本土化为拥有共同历史的少数语言

This is partly because Slovak is a less widely spoken language, and also because\u0000 it is mutually intelligible with the more dominant Czech language, having a common history. Our paper examines the\u0000 Slovak-Czech parallels in the respective language-, audiovisual- and multimedia- related legislation as well as market practices.\u0000 A similar comparative analysis is conducted with other less widely spoken European languages, namely Serbian, Croatian and\u0000 Slovenian. Our results show that among the examined languages, Czech is by far in the strongest position as a supported language\u0000 in video games on various platforms whereas Slovak, Serbian, Croatian and Slovenian are hardly present. We hope that the results\u0000 of our research will stimulate the discussion on this issue.","PeriodicalId":36199,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Internationalization and Localization","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41989225","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
