    Atlus of Japan have detailed their localisation process, and have also mentioned the time offered to each process on average:

  • Step 1: Familiarization (1-3 weeks) -- Play the game and understand context of written material.

  • Step 2: Localization (1-8 weeks) -- Depends on amount of text and if voice acting is required.

  • Step 3: Programming (4-6 weeks) -- All implemented by original developers.

  • Step 4: Quality Assurance (5-8 weeks) -- Bugs are natural side effect of localization, along with "test issues."

  • Step 5: Manufacturer Approval (3-8 weeks) -- "Internal testers go over the submitted master candidate."

  • Step 6: Manufacturing (3-5 weeks) -- Print, box and ship.


    • Thanks to QJ DS.

    ATLAS don't publish the EU games, a third party always does. I'd assume thats why.

    There's also the fact that there are two dozen languages into which the text, voicework, and cultural tropes of the games need to be translated.

    Oh, stuff it.  As small as they are, Atlus USA has one of the best localization teams of any U.S. publisher.
