Language-Games Named ‘Best Localizer’ at STOVE Indie Awards 2025 – Announces Special Discount for New Clients

Jungbum Lee, lead translator at Language-Games, has been officially named a STOVE Indie Awards 2025 Winner in the prestigious ‘Best Localizer’ category. Hosted by Smilegate, Korea's leading indie game platform, the award recognizes exceptional contributions to the regional gaming ecosystem.

Jungbum Lee was celebrated as a key member of the translation trio behind the critically acclaimed open-world action RPG, Drova - Forsaken Kin. The team was specifically highlighted for delivering a culturally optimized Korean translation that flawlessly captured the game's dark, hardcore atmosphere.

The STOVE Indie Awards evaluates titles that demonstrated outstanding performance and user feedback.

To celebrate this milestone, Language-Games is offering a special 20% discount on the first translation project for new clients. Under this promotion, the rate is reduced from the standard $0.07 USD/word to $0.05 USD/word (applicable for up to 50,000 words). Additionally, this offer includes 3 hours of complimentary LQA (Localization Quality Assurance).

Given the current KRW-USD exchange rate, this effectively serves as a double discount for overseas studios. We highly encourage game developers and publishers aiming for a successful Korean market launch this year or next to take advantage of this opportunity. This special promotion is valid until December 31, 2026.
