| Games Localization and Translation Services
In 1958, a scientist named William Higinbotham created "Tennis for Two." The game was never commercially released because it was meant to be an electrical experiment rather than an actual video game. By the late 1970s—when personal computers started to become widely available—the computer game industry started to take shape and grow along with the advancement of computing technology and, eventually, the Internet. In 2007, the computer and video game industry took in roughly USD$9.5 billion in the US alone.
Nowadays, many US based game developers and publishers face growing demand—but also competition—from outside the US and have to make their games available in more than just English.
