Ensuring Correct Spelling of Character Names in Localization
1. Establish a Master Glossary
Create a master glossary containing all character names, such as ‘Naruto’, with their correct spellings across all supported languages. This glossary should be a central reference for translators and localization teams.
2. Implement Automated Spell Checkers
Utilize automated spell-checking and validation tools that cross-reference your localization files with the master glossary. This can include custom scripts or plugins within the localization pipeline to flag inconsistencies.

3. Utilize Language Model Integration
Integrating large language models can help in diversity checks and ensure that variations of the name due to translation do not occur. Train the model with your glossary data to identify close matches and inaccuracies.
4. Use Localization Management Platforms
Platforms like SDL Trados or memoQ allow for integrated glossary checks and provide real-time feedback to translators, reducing the chance of spelling mistakes.
5. Conduct Translation Quality Assurance
- Regular QA processes should include manual checks against the glossary.
- Utilize double-entry verification, where translations are independently verified by multiple sources.
6. Feedback from Players
Utilize player feedback to identify and correct any misspellings post-release. Community forums and direct support channels can be invaluable resources.
