Honor Spain's Rich Linguistic Tapestry Through Thoughtful Adaptation
Create connections with Spanish audiences by respecting regional identities, from Catalan creativity to Basque heritage, alongside Castilian tradition.
Return to HomepageThe Authentic Connection We'll Build
Spain's linguistic landscape reflects centuries of distinct cultural development. When your game speaks to players in their regional language, respecting local preferences and cultural nuances, you're not just translating words—you're showing that you understand and value their identity.
Your Spanish-speaking players will feel the warmth of content that honors their specific heritage, whether they're reading Catalan in Barcelona, Euskera in the Basque Country, or Castilian Spanish across the peninsula. This attention to regional detail creates emotional resonance that generic translation cannot achieve.
Through careful adaptation that considers regional vocabulary, cultural references, and linguistic preferences, we help your game feel native to each audience. Players recognize when localization respects their language's uniqueness, and that recognition builds trust and engagement.

Why Generic Spanish Translation Falls Short
Many games approach the Spanish market with a one-size-fits-all mentality, offering only Castilian Spanish without acknowledging Spain's linguistic diversity. This approach misses opportunities to connect meaningfully with regional audiences who take pride in their distinct cultural identities.
Perhaps you've noticed that Spanish players sometimes feel their regional language is overlooked or undervalued. Or maybe you've seen how providing only Castilian Spanish can feel impersonal to Catalan or Basque speakers, who might prefer content in their native language when available.
The challenge goes beyond vocabulary differences. Each region has its own cultural references, humor patterns, and ways of expressing ideas. A Catalan speaker in Barcelona experiences language differently than a Basque speaker in Bilbao, even when both are fluent in Castilian Spanish. Respecting these differences shows cultural sensitivity that players genuinely appreciate.
Our Approach to Regional Localization
Multi-Regional Strategy
We don't just translate into Spanish—we adapt for distinct regional audiences. Your game can offer content in Catalan for Catalunya, Euskera for the Basque Country, and Castilian Spanish for broader audiences. Each version receives the same attention to linguistic quality and cultural appropriateness.
Native Speaker Expertise
Our localization team includes native speakers from each region we serve. They bring not just language skills but lived cultural understanding. A Catalan translator understands nuances that might escape someone who learned the language academically. This authenticity shows in the final text.
Cultural Contextualization
Beyond direct translation, we adapt cultural references, idioms, and humor to resonate with each regional audience. A joke that works in Castilian might need adjustment for Catalan sensibilities. We ensure content feels natural and culturally appropriate across all language variants.
The Localization Journey Together
Content Analysis and Planning
We begin by reviewing your game's content to understand its scope, tone, and cultural context. Which elements need regional adaptation? What cultural references require special attention? Which language variants will serve your target audience?
This analysis helps us create a localization strategy that balances thoroughness with practical considerations. We identify areas where regional adaptation adds significant value and areas where standard approaches work well.
Translation and Regional Adaptation
Our native-speaking translators adapt your content for each target region. You'll receive regular updates showing progress across all language variants. We maintain consistent terminology while allowing each regional version to feel authentic to its audience.
Throughout this phase, we document linguistic choices and create glossaries ensuring consistency. If questions arise about cultural appropriateness or linguistic preferences, we consult with regional experts to make informed decisions.
Quality Review and Integration
Before delivery, each regional version undergoes thorough review by additional native speakers. They check for linguistic accuracy, cultural appropriateness, and consistency with your game's tone and style.
We provide the localized content in formats ready for integration into your game. If you need support implementing the various language options or testing in-game, we're here to help ensure everything displays correctly and switches smoothly between variants.

Our Regional Localization Expertise
Location Advantage and Cultural Knowledge
Being based in Barcelona gives us direct connection to Catalonia's linguistic landscape. Our team experiences daily how Catalan and Castilian coexist, understanding the subtle preferences and cultural context that inform language choices.
This geographical positioning extends to relationships with Basque language experts and professionals across other Spanish regions. We draw on a network of native speakers who bring authentic regional perspectives to every localization project.
Quality Standards and Review Process
Every regional variant undergoes multiple review stages. Initial translation by native speakers, cultural appropriateness review, consistency checking, and final proofreading ensure linguistic accuracy and authentic regional voice.

Typical project timeline for game content
All variants reviewed by regional speakers
Practical Timeline and Scope Expectations
Localization timelines depend on content volume and complexity. A typical game with moderate text content takes two to four weeks across all three language variants. This includes translation, review, and formatting for integration.
We work efficiently while maintaining quality standards. Rush timelines are possible for smaller projects, though we recommend allowing adequate time for thorough cultural adaptation and native speaker review to ensure authentic results.
