We experienced "LQA" at the "Active Gaming Media" booth!
On the wall of the "Active Gaming Media" booth, there was a panel that explained the localization process in an easy-to-understand manner. The panels were set up in Japanese and English translations, and visitors were able to experience "LQA," or localization debugging, in the form of finding problems. The booth was a valuable opportunity for visitors to learn about game localization work in an easy-to-understand manner.
