THE XLOC STORY

Founded in 2000, XLOC was the first company to recognize the need for, and develop a localization management solution for the video game industry. Why? Because we needed it ourselves.

We knew there had to be a better way to overcome the complexities of localization to enable simultaneous multi-language development and shipment of titles worldwide. Once we solved those all-too familiar localization challenges, we wanted to share our solutions with the industry at large.
