Goals
To provide creative, high-quality localization of video game content tailored to Altagram’s target markets and languages.
Challenges
Before implementing memoQ into the daily workflow ten years ago, Altagram experienced issues such as inconsistent translations, the inability to handle unusual file formats, and the lack of Quality Assurance and Terminology checks.
Results
Today, all translatable content goes through memoQ and its statistics determine the price for resources and clients. With over 55 target languages, Altagram appreciates the flexibility and reliability of memoQ.
““Adjusting segmentation rules is extremely helpful in some cases where clients have exotic text structures.””
Wolfgang Hoffmann-Schoenborn
Senior Localization Engineer
Ten years with memoQ
When it comes to game localization, accuracy is essential. Altagram’s localization needs have been met thanks to various memoQ features such as the numerous import filters, the ability to exclude non-translatable text via the Regex Tagger, Quality Assurance and Terminology features, the different automatizations available via the memoQ API, and the tagger and segmentation rules that allows Altagram to turn messy codes into conveniently translatable content.
Moreover, Altagram benefits significantly from the easy handling of various file formats, and the Quality Assurance and Terminology checks that can be tailored to a very fine degree to meet the project’s needs, including restricting specific special characters and regex-based checks.
“Adjusting segmentation rules is extremely helpful in some cases where clients have exotic text structures.” – shares Wolfgang Hoffmann-Schoenborn, Senior Localization Engineer at Altagram.

memoQ helped Playrix to increase efficiency and work quality by almost 30%
Playrix
We decided to implement a CAT system to streamline our processes and boost quality. Thanks to memoQ, we’ve been able to resolve and prevent many consistency-related issues. Plus, its numerous features and user-friendly interface make working on assignments more efficient than ever before.
Infor’s statistical machine translation (SMT) struggled with unrelated language pairs (like English to Japanese) and disfluent translations. Limited training data caused terminology issues when combining datasets, making it hard to maintain consistency across projects.
Infor
As Infor’s preferred machine translation provider, globalese by memoQ has been a reliable and strong partner for almost a decade now, allowing our department to speed up the translation process of new and recurring — often large — projects while maintaining structural, terminological, and overall linguistic correctness.
Once FSD switched to memoQ’s AGT solution, the team managed to reduce translation and review time by 2.5 times, and reached terminology consistency of close to 100%.
FSD (Fondation suisse de déminage)
After several months of working with memoQ and its AGT technology, we cut our translation and review time by almost three times, while the post-editing effort dropped significantly. Even with large volumes of brand-new, terminology-dense material that is uncommon in the demining field, we moved through it far faster than we could have done manually or with any other environment. On top of that, memoQ gave our project easier, more accurate translation and management, both internally, externally, and across our multilingual team; it has made a real difference in keeping terminology consistent, no matter who is translating.
