When IBM announced the release of the VisualAge environment back in 1993, it actually proclaimed a new era in programming. By the end of that era, programmers would no longer be regarded as weird people who think in cryptic categories and do unintelligible things. Like the guy in the picture.

“How do I find the right language service provider for my company?” Are you the decision-maker for organizing translations in your company, and are you faced with the task of optimizing external resources? Are the translation volumes and the number of required language pairs increasing? Is the requirements profile becoming more and more diverse?

It is also essential to check the entire translated text directly in the game to ensure it is appropriately placed in the context of specific situations and gameplay elements. This is the multifaceted work that Janus Worldwide’s Game Localization Department handles.
