GameLoc Academy (GLAC) is a professional training hub dedicated entirely to video game localization as a cultural, linguistic, and industrial discipline. Born from years of hands-on experience in games journalism, education, publishing, and international localization workflows, GLAC was created to answer a very precise need: training professionals who truly understand games, languages, and cultures as one single ecosystem. We do not train translators who happen to work on games. We train game localization specialists. At GameLoc Academy, localization is taught as a creative, technical, and cultural process, deeply connected to game design, narrative design, UI/UX, and production pipelines. Students work on realistic materials, real constraints, and real workflows, learning how localization actually happens in professional contexts.
GameLoc Academy is an elite training program built on experience, continuity, and results. Since 2021, GLAC has been training a selected number of students through an intensive, highly specialized path dedicated exclusively to video game localization.
Over this period, the program has contributed to the professional development of more than 300 localization specialists, many of whom are now actively working within the games industry. This is not mass education. It is a focused, curated learning environment designed to cultivate quality, responsibility, and long-term professional growth. Our approach favors depth over volume, competence over speed, and cultural awareness over automation.
GameLoc Academy actively positions itself as a talent incubator and knowledge partner for the international games industry. Our students represent emerging talent trained with a clear understanding of professional standards, responsibilities, and expectations.
Partnering with GameLoc Academy is designed to be simple, flexible, and mutually valuable, without obligations or rigid frameworks.
Our partnerships are built around three core pillars:
Brand Visibility & Industry Presence
Industry partners are featured on the GameLoc Academy website through the inclusion of their official logo in our Partners section.
If desired, this can be structured as a reciprocal partnership, with logo exchange or cross-visibility on both platforms.
This visibility positions partners as active contributors to education, cultural responsibility, and professional growth within the video game localization ecosystem.
Paid Teaching & Knowledge Sharing
Partners may choose to actively participate in the course by delivering paid lectures or workshops. This involvement is entirely optional and modular, allowing partners to contribute according to their availability and interests.
Access to Emerging Talent
As part of the partnership, companies may request to receive the CVs of GameLoc Academy graduates. This does not imply any obligation to offer internships, provide placements or hire students. It is simply an opportunity to stay in contact with trained, industry-ready profiles who already understand professional workflows, terminology, and production realities.
