How to localize a video game?

Question

Machine translation from one language to another

I have always been interested in the localization of text in video games from any foreign language into Russian. I know that this happens by replacing some game files with modified others (after all, right? ..)
I want to do this. I have experience in foreign languages, but I have no experience in programming as such. Can you please tell me how video games are localized?

Answer 1

If for the sake of practice (and for what else), then there is a project in the incentive:

And the rest, it depends on the specific game.

Answer 2
