Overview: | With more than 329 million speakers worldwide, Spanish is consolidating its position as a key language for localization.

Using a series of real-life examples, Victor Alonso Lion and Diana Diaz Monton will take a closer look at language, introducing the audience to the Spanish-player and highlighting the key decisions and the Spanish speaking processes necessary for successful game localization.
