XLOC
Raleigh, North Carolina, USA
What it is
XLOC is a web-based content management system for video game localization, covering global text, audio, and art assets. Producers, developers, translators, and QA teams share an interface to coordinate work and monitor asset status. The system synchronizes new assets with localized game resources and creates lists of current or changed assets. Teams can build prototypes before translation, generate localized game files, and perform checks on string assets. Translation tools provide centralized term references, reuse, search, and fuzzy matching. XLOC supports localization in more than 60 languages. Listed connections include Google Sheets, memoQ, Unreal Engine, Perforce, Bitbucket, Unity, Jira, GitHub, and Mighty Games tools. API functionality is available for linking game engines, while automated hooks are described as coming soon. XLOC says it manages localization processes rather than supplying translation services, so customers can use their own translators or providers. Custom licensing is a one-year license priced according to game strings and games, with an AWS server and some complimentary support hours.
