This month's Platforms & Ecosystems category includes 1 granted patent from NetEase.
The patent covers a real-time game translation system designed to automatically convert foreign games, particularly Unity-based titles, into Chinese. NetEase's technology works by injecting translation logic directly into game code at runtime through a simulator, enabling on-the-fly localization without requiring access to the original source code.
NetEase received 1 patent covering a runtime translation system that operates by intercepting and translating game UI text as the game executes within a simulator environment. The approach modifies the code execution flow dynamically, allowing games that never officially supported Chinese localization to display translated text without requiring static file modifications or post-release localization work from the original developers. By injecting translation logic directly into the game's runtime processes, the system can handle titles built on engines like Unity even when source code access is unavailable.
