Question 1

Will AI translation break my game variables like {player_name}?

Accepted Answer

No. LocaFile AI locks your variables — {player_name}, %s, <color=red> tags — with regex token replacement before the AI sees them. The AI only sees plain text. Variables are restored byte-for-byte after translation. This is the #1 reason indie devs avoid AI localization — we solved it.

Question 2

How much does game localization cost?

Accepted Answer

Three one-time passes, no subscriptions: Indie Starter ($19, 3 runs, 30 days, 6 languages), Steam Launchpad ($99, 10 runs, 90 days, all 28 languages), Studio Pass ($249, 35 runs, 120 days, all 28 languages). Human agencies charge $2,000+ for a single language. Generic AI tools charge per word and still break your variables. LocaFile AI includes all languages in every pass — no per-language fees.

Question 3

Do I need to create an account to localize my game?

Accepted Answer

No. LocaFile AI requires no login. You upload your file, pick a pass, pay via Stripe, and download your translated files. Your entitlement UUID is your dashboard key — no email, no password, no account to manage.

Question 4

Which game engines and file formats are supported?

Accepted Answer

LocaFile AI is engine-aware: Godot CSV, Unity CSV, JSON, YAML, XLIFF, PO, Android XML, iOS .strings, and TSV. We detect your format automatically and respect its structure — keys stay untouched, only values are translated. ZIP uploads are supported for multi-file projects.

Question 5

How fast can I get my game localized for Steam Next Fest?

Accepted Answer

Minutes, not weeks. Upload your file, pick a pass, pay, and your translated ZIP is ready in minutes — all 28 Steam-supported languages in one batch. Agencies take 3 weeks and charge $2,000+. LocaFile AI ships same-day for $19 to $249, depending on your scope.

Question 6

What's the difference between the three passes?

Accepted Answer

Indie Starter ($19) is for solo devs shipping a small game — 3 runs, 6 languages, 5,000 words per file. Steam Launchpad ($99) is for full launches — 10 runs, all 28 languages, 25,000 words per file. Studio Pass ($249) is for high-volume studios — 35 runs, all 28 languages, 100,000 words per file. All passes are one-time, no subscriptions, no auto-renew.
