What is the main focus of internationalization in game development?

Creating separate versions of the game for each target market

Translating the game's text and audio into multiple languages

Designing the game so it can be easily adapted to different languages and regions without code changes

Testing the game with players from different cultural backgrounds

A game studio is developing a game that will be released in both English and Arabic. The developer needs to ensure that the game's UI can support right-to-left (RTL) text layout. Which phase of the development process should address this requirement?

Performance testing, by measuring the game's speed with Arabic text

Localization, by translating the UI text into Arabic

Internationalization, by designing the UI to support RTL layouts

Compatibility testing, by testing on Arabic devices

A game tester is assigned to verify the German localization of a racing game. The tester notices that the German text for menu items is longer than the English text and gets cut off in the UI. Which area of localization testing does this issue fall under?

Cultural adaptation of symbols and icons

Graphics and art asset replacement

A game studio is releasing a game in South Korea and Mexico. The team has a limited budget and must choose between investing in internationalization or directly localizing the game for these two markets. What is the most cost-effective long-term strategy?

Localize directly for both markets without internationalization to save time

Release the game in English only and skip localization

Invest in internationalization first, then localize for both markets

Localize for one market first, then internationalize based on lessons learned
