Wordbee supports the use of multiple pivot languages within a localization workflow. A common use case in the gaming industry, particularly for Asian game developers, involves creating the game in Japanese, then translating it to a raw English version. This initial English translation is then polished and refined to ensure accuracy and fluency. The finalized English version becomes the pivot language for translations into all other target languages.

Wordbee enables seamless continuous localization for live-service games and projects that require frequent updates, such as patches or downloadable content (DLC). The platform integrates directly with content management systems (CMS), automating the process of extracting content for translation and reintegrating localized versions. It includes Git integration, a live preview feature, and supports cloud storage connectors for Dropbox, Google Drive, Amazon AWS, and OneDrive, as well as FTP options, enabling efficient management of game assets.

Wordbee enables the batch uploading of images linked to text strings directly from an Excel file. This allows localizers to see the images associated with each string, providing valuable visual context during translation. It ensures that translations align with the intended visuals, improving overall localization quality.

With Wordbee’s cost tracking and analytics tools, game developers can manage localization budgets effectively while ensuring that projects remain on schedule. Detailed reporting on progress and costs provides visibility into translation efficiency, helping to optimize workflows.
