Tokyo, Japan – December 19, 2022 – Former Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama recently visited the Japanese offices of EC Innovations (ECI), a global leader in language services and technology solutions. Hosted by Longwei Cong, General Manager of ECI Japan, the visit resulted in a preliminary agreement to collaborate on localization strategies. This milestone marks significant progress for ECI’s growth in the Japanese market and opens new opportunities for innovation in language technology and services.

Focusing on Asian Cooperation and Localization

Since stepping down in 2009, Mr. Hatoyama has been a strong advocate for fostering greater cooperation across East Asia, focusing on trade, education, and environmental initiatives. During his visit, he emphasized the importance of localization in today’s rapidly globalizing world.

“In today’s era of accelerated globalization, localization and internationalization services are critical for businesses looking to expand abroad. These services also play a key role in strengthening regional collaboration,” said Mr. Hatoyama.

EC Innovations’ Global Service Offerings

Founded in 1997, EC Innovations has built a global reputation for delivering comprehensive localization and internationalization solutions. By leveraging advanced information and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, ECI serves industries including life sciences, finance, smart manufacturing, video games, and electronics. Over the years, ECI has become a trusted partner for multinational corporations, consistently providing high-quality, customized solutions.

Exploring New Models of Business Cooperation

The visit also provided an opportunity to explore potential collaborations in areas such as game localization, document translation, AI-powered solutions, and machine translation technology. Mr. Hatoyama praised ECI’s technological innovations and its impact on the localization industry.

During the discussion, Longwei Cong, General Manager of ECI Japan, emphasized ECI’s commitment to innovation and customer success. “We remain committed to investing in cutting-edge technology, nurturing industry talent, and delivering exceptional services to help our clients succeed in the competitive global markets,” he said.

This visit marks a new chapter in ECI’s strategic growth and partnership-building efforts in Japan. Mr. Hatoyama also expressed his strong support for ECI’s initiatives in Japan, highlighting the vast potential within the language services industry.

“I see significant opportunities in this field,” he concluded. “By working together, we can provide meaningful support for more companies’ internationalization efforts and further promote regional cooperation.”

Sijie Wei, Co-CEO of language services, technology, and game localization specialist EC Innovations (ECI), joins SlatorPod to talk about his new role as co-CEO and leading one of Asia’s largest LSPs with revenues exceeding USD 50m in 2023.

Sijie shares how ECI, initially focused on helping Western blue-chip firms enter China, expanded to assisting Chinese tech giants like Tencent and ByteDance in globalizing their products.

Sijie highlighted the challenges of the Asia-Pacific market, where localization maturity still lags that of the US and Europe in certain verticals. However, he sees significant growth potential as industries like e-commerce, AI, and electric vehicles mature.

Regarding language AI, Sijie pointed out that Chinese companies prefer to develop their own solutions, making the market highly competitive. ECI benefits from this research, applying cutting-edge advancements in AI to client projects.

In game localization, Sijie continues to see substantial growth potential. He recognizes that localizing games from China to global markets and vice versa is equally challenging due to differences in player preferences, monetization methods, and cultural contexts.

Sijie gave his insights on the investment landscape, noting that current market valuations are lower due to uncertainty around AI adoption across industries like localization.

Sijie concluded by addressing the balance between AI and human expertise in localization, emphasizing that while AI can drive efficiency, human quality remains superior in many contexts.

Singapore-based language technology, services, and game localization specialist, EC Innovations (ECI), announced the appointment of Sijie Wei as Co-CEO on September 13, 2024. 

Wei, formerly of Goldman Sachs and with degrees in AI and computer science, has been working at ECI for some time. He joins Dr. James Wei, Founder, President, and Co-CEO at the helm.

Founded in 1997, EC Innovations is an ISO-certified company with over 650 full-time employees across 14 global offices. The LSP has grown both organically and through acquisitions, such as the 2022 purchase of video game localization specialist Character Localization.

The move led to the creation of ECI Games, a dedicated brand combining the global games business unit and Character Localization, positioning EC Innovations for dominance in Asian video game localization.

Wei highlighted regional differences in the global games market, with mobile games leading in APAC and PC/console games in the West, impacting localization strategies. Despite a competitive market, ECI Games is growing, said Wei, and the company remains optimistic about the future, aiming to contribute through new technology.

“Our cultural understanding of specific regions and our empathy for developers and publishers differentiates EC Innovations from traditional language service providers,” added Wei, recognizing language as just one aspect of localization.

The company also offers “ECI Flow,” a proprietary AI-enabled games localization system. Wei explained that it addresses the lack of unified methodology in game development, converting unformatted localization kits into easily localizable formats.

Wei explained that ECI Flow uses large language models (LLMs) to summarize player feedback to help publishers make more informed top-level decisions on how their games are performing in local regions and among different player bases.

AI and The Path Ahead

Wei shared with Slator that while everyone recognizes AI’s possibilities, widespread adoption hinges on overcoming technical barriers and ensuring seamless integration into workflows.

Other challenges the Co-CEO mentioned were the diverse range of quality and cost options across AI, human, and hybrid language solutions, and the competition between technology and service businesses within companies like ECI. In Wei’s view, the potential for technology sales to impact existing service revenue streams and long-term vision is crucial to navigating these market shifts.

“While most foundational models have translation capabilities, the lack of contextual understanding often hinders the performance of AI. This use case, while being our focus, should not be the full picture of what the language industry aspires to solve.” — Sijie Wei, Co-CEO EC Innovations

Recognizing that AI isn’t the sole solution, Wei said the company focuses on empowering clients with informed decision-making. For instance, the company’s ECI Link product addresses market confusion with clear budget and quality trade-offs across AI, human, and hybrid workflows. Instant AI result previews allow clients to choose further human review or translation as needed, he added.

Wei also noted the varying efficacy of AI, especially when the industry is mainly focused on using it solely for machine translation. “While most foundational models have translation capabilities, the lack of contextual understanding often hinders the performance of AI. This use case, while being our focus, should not be the full picture of what the language industry aspires to solve.”

Regarding the interaction between human talent and technology, Wei believes technology should support business but be led by people. Wei, himself of a technical background, values the role of exceptional talent in true innovation, leading to what he says is a highly selective recruitment process.

Independent market research firm CSA Research recognizes EC Innovations as a leader in the software localization and website globalization industries.

(Singapore, Asia HQ) – Meeting the demand for information in someone’s native language − and sometimes the legal requirements to do so – fuels an indispensable, multi-billion translation, interpreting, and localization industry. Based on verified data, EC Innovations has been recognized by independent market research firm CSA Research as a leader in the software localization and website globalization industries, ranking 6th in software localization services and 10th in website globalization services based on overall revenue.

EC Innovations is an industry leading translation and localization provider with multiple ISO certifications and a wealth of experience localizing content for most industry verticals. Today, EC Innovations has grown into 3 regional headquarters (Singapore, Budapest, Wilmington) and a total of 17 strategic global offices, 650 plus full-time employees; offering full localization support into 140+ languages and 260 locales.

Hélène Pielmeier, Senior Analyst at CSA Research comments:

“Properly localizing software requires vendors that understand development. Beyond just translating code, they have deep knowledge of design and UX requirements to adapt the product to the culture of language of target markets.”

“Website globalization extends past translating words on a web page. Specialist providers offer a range of internationalization, regionalization, and localization services to enable brands to successfully convert their digital strategy to other markets.”

For the rankings, CSA Research considered all the providers in its 18th annual market survey and singled out the companies that derived the largest annual revenue in 2021 from software localization and website globalization services.

Excerpt / Meta description for social media: EC Innovations buys Nordic gaming services provider, Character Localization, creating a synergy of regional leadership positions in the game localization space.

EC Innovations, a fast-growing global language service provider, announced today its acquisition of Character Localization, the Nordic’s leading game localization service provider.

In a joint effort, both parties look to build upon each other’s reputation for quality and client-orientation, as well as synergize off each other’s regional leadership positions in the games localization and services space.

Character Localization was founded in 2010 by Morten Skovgaard and Renée Jessen as a language service provider focused primarily on video game localization and dubbing into Danish. The company quickly expanded to all Nordic languages and, eventually, to “as many languages as they could find cool people to work with.”

Mixing the love of games with the love of language is at the core of Character. Always in close contact with its clients, Character makes sure everyone in the localization process — from the translators and PMs to the localization team on the client side — is aiming for the same goal: Best. Possible. Localization.

Character will continue to be led by its two founding partners, Renée and Morten, who will join forces with ECI’s games division leadership to strategize for expansion of capabilities, team, branding, and client relationships.

EC Innovations and Character look to empower each other’s growth by sharing resources in all facets — operations, marketing, and technology — and unify as one integrated solution for delivering better games services and client experiences globally.

Renée said that “from our first meeting with ECI, it was clear we shared the same game localization values and focus on customers and quality. The decision to join forces was never a difficult one as both companies will benefit greatly from this acquisition. We really look forward to exploring all the new possibilities ahead of us.”

EC Innovations Founder and CEO, James Wei, stated, “We firmly believe that the acquisition of Character Localization marks only the beginning of a long-lasting collaboration and partnership of growth and improvement. We look forward to working with Character in a united effort to tackle challenges and provide better joint services to our global markets.”

EC Innovations was advised by Slator, Grant Thornton Denmark, and law firm GALST. Character Localization was represented by law firm DAHL.

Character Localization is a game localization service provider based in Copenhagen, Denmark. The company is an internationally recognized boutique-style solution for translation and audio for entertainment and technology products, primarily video games, apps and podcasts for 30+ languages. Through more than a decade, Character has developed a strong brand as a loyal, solid, and trusted partner for all localization needs with a committed collective of experienced and skilled translators and project managers.

About EC Innovations and ECI’s Games Divisions

EC Innovations was founded in 1997 and had since helped many global industry leaders overcome their language barriers in long standing partnerships. EC Innovations has grown since into a global language partner with a total of 10 strategic global offices, 700 full-time employees, offering full localization support into 130+ languages and 260 locales. With its proven quality-oriented workflows and teams originally focused in the regulated and technical space, EC Innovations established its Games Division in 2014. Now fueled by creativity, passion and compassion for games development, ECI Games quickly won the trust of top global publishers and developers and is now viewed as a leading APAC solution for game localization.
