Translation and Localization Company Tolma4 Team

Our Principles

We are passionate about games’ translation.

We believe it is important to have as much information as possible about the subject of our work. You can be assured of getting high-quality work because we ensure the content of our clients will be localised in the best way possible. We prioritize listening to all requests and suggestions to make your product as close to perfection as possible. This makes us a credible translation company among others.

We translate not only dialogs, but also textures and fonts. As a media localization company, the Tolma4 Team endeavours to keep the game’s ambient condition that its designer had in mind when they created it. As a result, we also engage in converting fonts, and even if certain symbols cannot be displayed in the game’s original font, we can get it fixed.

FAQ

Localization is the process of adapting a product or service to meet the language, culture, and other specific requirements of a particular region or country. It involves modifying the product or service to make it linguistically and culturally appropriate and relevant to the target audience, and also ensuring that it meets local regulatory and technical standards.

Localize Co can include a wide range of elements, such as translating content, adapting images and graphics, changing date and time formats, and adjusting user interface elements like buttons and menus to suit local conventions. It may also involve modifying marketing strategies, product packaging, and even pricing to fit local market conditions.

First, we gather and analyze data to determine the scope of the job and translate the original document. Then, we review the translated document, ensuring it meets the quality standards of users’ slang and dialect. We also do editing and in-context reviews to prevent ungrammatical structures before packaging and delivering the file to you.

We strive to provide availability as much as possible, although this may not always be the case. Fortunately, we operate a global network of translators across different time zones, so you can easily access our solutions at all times.

Our translators each have over 5 years of experience translating multimedia and software content, a linguistics degree, and are expert speakers of their mother tongue. To make certain our experts satisfy these standards before hiring them, we get recommendations and conduct a translation test. 

Our qualified linguists can adapt texts in various languages, including English, German, French, Russian, Brazilian-Portuguese, Ukrainian, Italian and Spanish.

We prioritize accuracy, cultural sensitivity, and clarity in our translations. Hence, we engage only native speakers, experienced and expert translators that can proofread and edit the texts and also conduct a quality check to ensure text reliability.

It depends on the size of the job (word count), the type (website/software/mobile games/multimedia/game localization), complexity (specialized/technical/legal/dialog), and the language choice.

TEAM PROJECTS

Tolma4 Team was founded in 2009 on the gamer portal ZoneOfGames and consisted of just three people. The first few years were very quiet, translating a few games and making some trial and error until we started working on projects produced by Telltale Games, such as Sam & Max and Poker Night.

But in 2012 Telltale Games released the first season of The Walking Dead, followed by The Wolf Among Us and other major Telltale projects. All of which kept us busy for quite some time.

In 2016, we started creating official localizations, almost exclusively in direct communication with developers.

Our Team

Our team is made up of 25 people who have worked on 350+ projects. We have accumulated more than 3,946 hours of translating and gathered 40,000 subscribers.

Most importantly, our team can guarantee a quick and advanced localization even under the most stringent timeframes. We take pride in our quality assurance services while preserving the style of writing in your product.

Our team is enthusiastic about working with you on your product. Reach out to our contact support team now to get started, you will be glad you did.

Name of the game:

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. 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.

The Lion’s Song

Writing a testimonial for Tolma4 Team is actually rather easy. Don’t think about any other localization partner for the Russian market, just go with the wonderful Tolma4 Team – no questions about this decision. Mi’pu’mi Games collaborated on The Lion’s Song with T4T and our little episodic pixel art game got a stellar treatment for each episode. Tolma4 Team did a great job in regards to communication, on time delivery, iterative workflows, testing and giving us confident in our newly formed partnership from the very beginning. Thank you! And of course we highly recommend Tolma4 Team!

Name of the game:

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. The translations were double checked in the game also, which is a very nice touch. The team were friendly and we would highly recommend them to any other developers or publishers looking for a quick and efficient turnaround of Russian localisation.
