Summary/Abstract: In Slovakia there is no tradition of localisation of video games. Foreign countries, however, have much to offer regarding the academic environment and practical outcomes. The Slovak market does not even offer Slovak localisations of video games for children who are entitled to Slovak localisations pursuant to Slovak legislation. Our paper aims to examine the issue of Slovak video game localisation, present the most serious results of our research, and offer goals for future research aimed at specific aspects of localisation of video games for Slovak children and their multimodality.
