Abstract

Massively-Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games are a particular variety of video and computer game that is growing in popularity around the world. By their very nature, MMORPGs present a number of unique localization challenges. First, certain issues arise when people try to play the same game in several languages simultaneously. Localization of MMORPGs is also more difficult due to the sheer amount of text they contain, and their ever-expanding nature – they are constantly updated with new text through their multi-year lifespan. Finally, perhaps the most daunting challenge in the localization of MMORPGs is ensuring high quality grammar and accurate translations in all supported languages.
