[game_edu] Localisation

[m.bernal at roehampton.ac.uk]

Hello everybody,

I am glad to see that there is an important group here trying to improve standards in education by suggesting curriculums, modules, topics and the branching and pacing of the content delivered.

I would like to participate with modules/sessions on game internationalisation and localisation. I believe this part of the globalised game industry is often neglected in development and production, creating more problems than it should. Just recently the issue with SCE "Little Big Planet".
A bit of planning and team awareness in time would eradicate such issues and smooth out localisation, as well as save time and money in testing, etc.

What do you guys think?
