OVERVIEW
Launch a bug-free localized game in every market
You’ve localized your game into 10 languages. Everything looks great in the CAT tool. Then a German player streams your launch and the text overflows into the HUD.
That’s what professional game LQA services prevent. We test every localized string inside your actual build — checking overflow, character encoding, font support, and cultural fit before your players see anything.
Our game LQA services at DIGI MEDIA in Riga complement our game localization work with full in-game testing across UI, menus, dialogue, subtitles, and marketing assets. Native testers who actually play games spot issues no automated tool ever will.
Whether you’re an indie studio pre-launch, a mid-size developer approaching release, or a AAA publisher managing multi-language QA, our game LQA services protect your release day and your player reviews.
EDUCATIONAL
What actually happens during a professional game LQA pass?
Game LQA (Linguistic Quality Assurance) is the process of testing localized game content inside the actual build. It catches overflow, encoding issues, cultural misfires, and missing translations that no automated tool can spot.
Every string looks fine in isolation. It’s only when a French subtitle overflows the dialogue box, or a Polish menu label breaks the UI grid, that the real testing begins. Professional game LQA services test in context playing the game as your players will.
01
Build Prep & Setup
We receive your localized build, set up test devices per platform, and prepare test cases from your source strings and asset lists.
02
String Review
Native linguists review every localized string in context checking terminology, tone, cultural fit, and consistency across the full game.
03
In-Game Testing
Native gamer testers play through the entire game capturing overflow, UI break, encoding issues, and cultural misfires with screenshots and timestamps.
04
Bug Report Compilation
Every issue documented with severity rating (critical, major, minor), reproduction steps, screenshots, and recommended fixes — organized for your dev team.
05
Verification Pass
After your team applies fixes, we run a verification pass confirming resolutions, catching regressions, and signing off on the final localized build.

FAQ
Game LQA frequently asked questions
Everything indie developers, publishers, and studios need to know about our game LQA services.
What are professional game LQA services?
Game LQA (Linguistic Quality Assurance) is testing your localized game inside the actual build. Native gamer testers play through the game catching string overflow, encoding issues, cultural misfires, and any translation problem that isn’t visible in the source spreadsheet.
How long does game LQA testing take?
A standard LQA pass takes 1-2 weeks per language for mid-size games. Mobile games test in 3-7 days. AAA titles with 100+ hours of content take 3-4 weeks per language. Rush LQA available for tight release windows.
Which languages do you test games in?
Our game LQA services cover 11+ languages including English, Russian, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Polish, Latvian, Lithuanian, Estonian, Finnish, and Swedish all tested by native gamer testers based in or near our Riga studios.
What's the difference between LQA and QA?
Standard QA tests your game’s technical performance crashes, framerate, gameplay bugs. LQA specifically tests localization quality translation accuracy, cultural fit, UI overflow, encoding, subtitle timing. Most professional launches need both.
Do you test in-game or just review strings?
We always test in-game. String-level review misses everything that matters most — UI overflow, timing issues, layout breaks, encoding errors, and cultural fit. In-context testing is the entire point of professional LQA.
What platforms do you test on?
We test across Steam, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, Epic Games Store, iOS App Store, Google Play, Meta Quest, and browser platforms matching platform-specific certification requirements per market.
What does a bug report look like?
Every issue documented with severity rating (critical, major, minor), language tag, reproduction steps, screenshots, timestamps, and recommended fix. Reports delivered as PDF plus spreadsheet — ready for your dev team’s ticketing workflow.
How do you handle live-service games?
Yes. Post-launch LQA is essential every patch, DLC, event, or content update needs verification. We set up ongoing LQA partnerships with dedicated testers per language, catching regressions before players do.
How do you handle live-service games?
Live-service games and MMOs need continuous LQA. We assign dedicated language teams that stay with your title across seasons, events, and expansions maintaining tester context and quickly catching issues introduced by new content.
How much does game LQA cost?
Game LQA is priced per hour of testing plus report compilation, with rates depending on language pair, platform, and complexity. Typical projects start from €400 per language for a basic pass. Send us your build and we’ll return a full scoped quote within 48 hours.
