| Description | Video games represent a unique multimodal and nonlinear medium where the player assumes an active role in constructing the narrative dynamically. This project focuses on the process of video game localization, a complex procedure at the intersection of translation studies and software engi- neering, which involves not only linguistic transfer but also cultural, technical and legal adaptation. The research primarily addresses the specific linguistic challenges arising during the translation from English into Slavonic languages, particularly Czech and Russian. |
