Machine translation is increasingly used in games. For example, in order to make the multi-language version of a game smooth for players around the world, accurate translation is required. For a game like World of Warcraft, which has a huge world view and rich plot, the requirements for translation are even higher.

Machine translation can be used not only for the translation of game texts, but also for game strategies, player communication, etc. It can help players of different languages ​​better understand the game rules and share their experiences.

However, machine translation is not perfect in the field of games. Due to the particularity of game language, such as jargon, slang, etc., machine translation may be inaccurate or inappropriate. This may affect the player's gaming experience and even lead to misunderstandings.

In order to improve the quality of machine translation in games, relevant technologies are constantly being improved. Through deep learning algorithms and large-scale corpus training, the accuracy and fluency of machine translation are gradually improving. At the same time, manual proofreading and editing are also indispensable to ensure the quality of translation.

Let's look at the interview between Gamer.com and the "WOW" production team on winning back Chinese players. Although it seems to have little to do with machine translation on the surface, from a deeper perspective, a good localization strategy is inseparable from high-quality translation services. Whether it is the translation of game content or communication with players, accurate communication of information is crucial.

In the future, as the globalization trend of the gaming industry becomes more and more obvious, machine translation will play a more important role. It will help games better overcome language barriers and allow more players to enjoy the wonderful gaming world.
