Helsingborg, Sweden, 25th August 2010

LocalizeDirect's localization management tool LocDirect will be used by SEGA Europe on a future videogame title.

SEGA Europe join the growing group of Publishers and Developers using the streamlining tool primarily aimed at the video game industry.

"We're delighted that SEGA Europe have signed up to use LocDirect and we are very excited about working together with their experienced team” said Michael Souto, Business development director for LocalizeDirect.

“With the Beta trials shortly coming to an end we believe that our system will dramatically change the way the localization process is managed.

As an industry we've been making games for years and processes involved have evolved and been streamlined. That said however we're still making the same old mistakes when it comes to localization. We experienced these problems time and time again when making games so we decided to make a tool to change all that. We're convinced that once you see what we can do it's a tough decision not to jump right in."

”We are looking forward to working with LocalizeDirect and their new localisation management tool” commented Gary Dunn, Senior Vice President – Production, SEGA Europe and SEGA America. “Localisation is an important part of the videogame development process and we want to ensure that we have the best possible tools to do this. LocalizeDirect have these tools and we are confident they will do a great job”.
