Case Study: Space Ape Games achieves 20% faster localization turnaround with Transifex

Space Ape Games Reduces Turnaround Time by 20% During Game Localization

Space Ape Games, a UK-based mobile game studio founded in 2012 and backed by Supercell, needed a more efficient localization workflow to support rapid global content updates. Their main challenges were poor string search and identification, limited filtering and matching, and a need for better UI/UX to reduce manual work and speed up releases across many languages.

They selected Transifex for its clear ID search and filtering, translation memory, suggestions, glossary and strong customer support, which streamlined assigning and reviewing tasks. The platform cut inconsistencies and translation errors by 90%, enabled leveraging 80% of weekly content releases, reduced on-file time by 20%, and significantly increased work-per-hour (e.g., tasks that took 2 hours dropped to 30 minutes).
