What are key performance indicators or KPIs? Let’s take Cuphead. As an example, this game took me almost 30 hours to complete. But there are people who speedrun the game in approximately 30 minutes, I have no idea how they did it. And the time it takes to be the game can be considered a KPI, a key performance indicator of how well you can play this game. When it comes to localization. We can be interested in multiple different KPIs. Depending on the client that you’re working with, or based on your company that you work with. One of the KPIs that’s important for the clients is time to market time to localize something. So how long does it take to actually go through the whole localization translation cycle? And of course the cost how much it takes for each language to get their localization done.
