Keeping a live mobile game on-schedule in Polish — for two years straight
How Aploq became the standing Polish language partner for a global mobile-game studio — 360,000+ words of in-game and supporting content plus hands-on LQA, every build on time, every LQA pass marked pass.
A live game can't wait for its translation
A global mobile-game studio needed a Polish language partner it could rely on release after release — not for a single hand-off, but for the continuous stream of content a live game produces: in-game copy, store updates, terms and rules, newsletters and player-facing notices.
Two things made it demanding. The terminology had to match the voice and rules of a specific mobile title, kept consistent across thousands of strings and many separate files. And the cadence never stopped — batches arrived on rolling deadlines, each needing to land on time without drifting from everything shipped before.
Consistency at volume, on a never-ending clock
- Specialist gaming terminology tuned to one mobile title
- Hundreds of files arriving in rolling batches
- Separate registers: in-game copy vs. terms, rules, newsletters
- Every build gated by client-side LQA before it could ship
One standing team, one source of truth
- A dedicated translator for in-game content, a second for supporting copy
- One in-house reviewer owning cross-file consistency
- A termbase + glossary built once and enforced on every batch
- Per-batch delivery schedules tracked against the client's calendar
How it moved
Intake
New batch received, scoped and slotted into the schedule.
Termbase
Strings run against the glossary and TB so terminology stays locked.
Translation
Routed to the right specialist — in-game vs. supporting.
Review
One in-house reviewer harmonizes voice across every file.
LQA
Delivered on schedule; passes client-side LQA on the live build.
Two years, zero missed windows
Across the engagement, every batch was returned on time and the localized builds came back marked pass on the studio's own LQA. More than 360,000 words of game and supporting content moved through a single, stable pipeline — which is exactly why terminology never fragmented the way it does when work is split across rotating freelancers.
The real outcome isn't one delivery; it's that a live product gained a language partner it stopped having to worry about. A standing team on a long-running title is the shortest path to consistency — and consistency is what players actually feel.
A standing team on a long-running title is the shortest route to consistency — and consistency is what keeps players inside the game.
