AB Video games are one of the most relevant audiovisual products in the global market. Themain reason for their success beyond their country of origin is the process of localization,that is, their translation and adaptation into a target language and culture. Due to its complexity, the processes of internationalization, review and linguistic quality control are also pillars of success for the cultural adaptation of video games. The aim of this study is to present the characteristics and peculiarities of this branch of audiovisual translation and its importance for the successful global marketing of video games like Animal Crossing: New Leaf, whose Spanish localization is analyzed as a practical example that complements our theoretical framework.
