Module description

This module introduces students to the specific context and practices of localisation, with a focus on website and videogame localisation. The module provides students with an awareness of how the localisation industry works, and which processes are involved in a typical project. Students explore different localisation features through a number of practical sessions. The objective is to provide students with the practical skills necessary to develop further experience in a professional localisation environment. This module is not language-specific: it is taught in English and all the activities are carried out in English.
