What languages are better to translate the game into?

During the publication of the game on the Internet, the question arises of its localization. Just a couple of clicks is enough to release a game in several countries, but will users want to install an application created in a foreign language? Everything is clear with simple logic games: here you don’t need a deep knowledge of a foreign language, but what about role-playing games in which there is a plot and many characters? Typically, developers translate the game into English, it’s considered international. But there are several other markets in the gaming industry whose users don’t speak English. What languages are the best to translate the game into? Is it possible to translate the game on your own or is it better to use the professional help of translators? What services exist for translating a game into a foreign language? Let's figure it out together. First, some statistics. The first place among the language markets in the gaming field is Chinese simplified language. Not only because the population of China is the largest in the world, but also because gamers in China are willing to pay for the purchase of the application. Therefore, the Chinese language is one of the priority languages for translating the game, but it is also one of the most difficult in the world. Moreover, there is no Google play in China or its analogue, so it’s rather difficult to publish the game in this country. The second place is occupied by English. It is spoken by residents of many large countries: Australia, Canada, India, Ireland, Kenya, New Zealand, Nigeria, Philippines, Singapore, South Africa, Great Britain and the USA. The third place is occupied by the language of the country of innovation and new technologies - the Japanese language. But only Japanese people speak this language, in other countries this language is unpopular. Next come Spanish, Korean, Chinese Traditional, Hindi and French, followed by Russian and German. The standard set of languages in the game includes the main European languages: English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, as well as the main Asian languages: Chinese, Korean and Japanese. So, if you are not ready to experiment and publish the game, for example, in Africa or India, then you can use the standard set of languages. The game can be translated by your own if you are fluent in a foreign language. However, don’t forget that simply translating the game is not enough; you should also take into account the cultural characteristics of the target audience and the mentality of the country's inhabitants. To avoid incidents during the translation, you can use the services of professional translators. The most popular services for localizing games, applications, web pages and other products of development companies are: • PhraseApp • Lokalise • OneSky • Smartling • POEditor. All of them are paid, but each service has its advantages. Among them are integration with corporate programs (Slack, GitHub, etc.), experience with the largest companies (Bosch, Ubisoft, IKEA, Volvo, Nike, etc.), corporate use opportunities, and many others.
