Locasaurus
Hello developers and fellow game-lovers!
We are Locasaurus, a pack of professional linguists translating video games from English and Japanese into French. We love indie games and want to share our passion with the (French-speaking) world, so we offer our localization services for free to developers who create free games.
Our localization services
We offer a full localization package, including translation of the game script, thorough proofreading and LQA (linguistic quality assurance, a final step in which we test our translation in-game to make sure that everything is displayed properly). We also offer cultural counseling during the localization if some elements of the game need to be adapted to a French audience.
In addition, we can put you in touch with translators who work from English into LATAM Spanish, if that’s something you’re interested in!
The kind of games we translate
We love brainstorming on silly puns, finding ways to make the French language as inclusive as possible, debating on the best way to express each characters’ personality, or thinking up cool names for equally-cool weapons or monsters. We have a soft spot for narrative, wholesome games, but we have experience in several different genres, as you can see below or in our portfolio.
You can find some of the games we translated on itch.io:
♦ Hexed
♦ Every Letter
♦ The Woodsman and the Skunk
♦ Goodnight Meowmie
♦ Last Meal at Cafe Mori
♦ Chalk Gardens
♦ Project Kat - Prologue
♦ Intergalactic Wizard Force (LocJam 5)
♦ Hamizuki
♦ Not Enough Time - Au temps pour moi (LocJam 6)
Get in touch!
If you’d like to have your game translated into French, you can contact us via email or on X/Twitter.
AI disclaimer
We strongly oppose the use of generative AI in creative fields, and as a result, we do not offer our services to game developers who use generative AI for any part of their game other than accessibility features.
