Developing a Framework for Effective Localization (not Just Language) of Learning Games

Localization in game-based learning usually stops at translating text. This paper argues that real localization means tailoring a learning game to specific job contexts and work cultures — not just swapping languages. Through a case study of a successful localization project, it identifies best practices and develops a practical framework for bridging the gap between engaging game mechanics and the realities of on-the-job performance.
