Our professional translators will deliver cost-effective, accurate game localization. The parts of a product that are mostly altered by Tolma4 Team are manuals, advertisements, user interfaces & design, text, and game packaging. Also, virtual reality, action games, shooting games, adventure games, simulation, role-playing, and solitaire, are some of the products the company often works with.
The game industry is a fast-growing one as many people are in constant search of fun things to keep them occupied. However, it is crucial for users to play video-games in their native language for a better experience.
This is why video game localization services are important. It helps to preserve the original message of the product ensuring the users can relate to the cultural references and idiomatic expressions used.
Translation and localization in video games are vital if you plan on taking your product to a different country. A video game localization company works on your product while making accommodations for differing laws, legal stipulations, and cultural differences.

LiS: Before the Storm
The Tolma4 Team created an unofficial Russian localisation for our game Before the Storm. We worked with them to help ease the implementation of this localisation as a mod and also promoted it across our brand channels, but they handled all technical issues and localisation work.

MechaNika, Agatha Knife, Colossus Down
Really professional and friendly team. They did an awesome job with the localization of our first game, MechaNika. Can’t wait to work together again on future projects!
Over the Ocean
Tolma4 Team was easy to work and communicate with on the long, 50k+ word Russian and German localizations of Even the Ocean. They were fast in localizing art assets, and their QA caught missing text that I had forgotten needed to be localized.
Treasure Adventure
The fine folks at Tolma4Team did a FANTASTIC job with the localization and made the process as painless for me as possible. I was constantly impressed with their professionalism, quality and speed. The complexity of localizing was always something that worried me but Tolma4Team’s crew truly put my anxieties at ease.

Vernon’s Legacy
It is not easy to find a good translator for a computer game. Usual translators are often overwhelmed with such a task, there are sure more specialized in technical texts. The Tolma4Team specializes in the translation of video games and the guys do it really well.
Late Shift
It’s been a pleasure to work with the Tolma4 Team on the FMV game, Late Shift. They were professional and went above and beyond what was offered, even including a service for a number of YouTubers to play the game once the translations were complete.
Flat Kingdom
Evgenia and her team did a great work on Flat Kingdom. Delivered on time, adjusted to our budget, and with a great attention to the details.

We worked with them to help ease the implementation of this localisation as a mod and also promoted it across our brand channels, but they handled all technical issues and localisation work. The team’s professionalism throughout the entire process was fantastic and they worked quickly to provide a high quality localisation that appeared to be very well received by our Russian speaking fan community. We did not test or verify the contents of the modification created by the Tolma4 Team and therefore are unable to endorse it officially, but there is no question that their diligent work helped open up our game to Russian speaking fans.

It’s been a pleasure to work with the Tolma4 Team on the FMV game, Late Shift. They were professional and went above and beyond what was offered, even including a service for a number of YouTubers to play the game once the translations were complete.
