Native Russian translators. Cultural accuracy. LocQA included. Get a free quote →
Russian-speaking markets have significant Korean game audiences — Korean MMORPGs and mobile RPGs have established communities in Russia and CIS countries. Korean-to-Russian localization brings Korean game content to these engaged player communities. Cyrillic font support and Russian text expansion from compact Korean source are the key technical considerations. SandVox provides Korean-to-Russian game localization for Korean-developed games targeting Russian-speaking markets.
Text Expansion & Technical Considerations
Russian text from Korean source is typically 35–55% longer than the Korean original. Russian requires Cyrillic font support in the game build. Korean game UI designed for compact Korean text needs expansion accommodation for Russian.
Cultural & Technical Considerations for Russian Localization
- Korean MMORPG community in Russia — Russian-speaking markets have significant Korean game player communities; established vocabulary should be researched
- Cyrillic script — Russian requires Cyrillic font support in the game build
- Text expansion — Korean-to-Russian expansion requires UI character budget management
- Korean cultural adaptation for Russian audiences
- CIS market reach — Russian serves Russia and Russian-speaking players across CIS countries

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Korean games popular in Russia?
Yes. Korean MMORPGs and mobile RPGs have significant Russian-speaking player communities. Games like Lineage, Blade & Soul, and Korean mobile RPGs have attracted large Russian player bases. Professional Russian localization significantly improves the experience for these players and reduces the barrier to entry for Russian speakers who are not comfortable with English-only releases.
Does Russian localization cover all CIS countries?
Russian is the primary language of Russia and serves as a lingua franca across most CIS countries (Kazakhstan, Belarus, Uzbekistan, etc.). A single Russian localization works for Russian-speaking players across these markets. Ukraine has Ukrainian as its official language, though Russian was historically widely spoken — for specifically Ukrainian market targeting, Ukrainian localization is a separate consideration.
