Common Dev Mistakes That Lead to Poor Localization by Agencies

Overview:

Mediocre localization can erode immersion and make a game feel less polished - even when translations aren't technically wrong. Many issues start in development long before text reaches a translation agency. In this talk, Sven Lohse, Technical Director at ROCKFISH Games, uses examples from EVERSPACE 2 to show how localization-aware workflows can prevent common pitfalls. He will give developers, UI designers, writers, and project managers practical steps to improve quality across languages, strengthen player immersion, and help teams use their localization budgets more efficiently.
