All-in Global is the #1 language service provider for the iGaming industry. With 12 years of data we believe it’s relevant for our viewers to know how our localization projects are divided. Our staff tend to choose “marketing creative” when it’s not clear how a project should be classified, so this number is often too high in comparison.

THE CHALLENGES OF IGAMING LOCALIZATION IN SERBIAN
Localization to Serbian can be very interesting, although not an easy task. If approached with alacrity, it can be an interesting journey of transformation. But what challenges of iGaming localization are lurking out there?
Serbian language has two scripts, Cyrillic and Latin
Both are equally well understood by any level of Serbian audience since both are taught in elementary school, but there are differences. Cyrillic is used for official (Government) documents and by certain state institutions. Serbian Latin is much more common in everyday use because it is more “modern proof” — it’s easier to use on computers and smartphones. There is one particular difference, which is very important in localization. Simply put, in Cyrillic script foreign names and terms (“Google” becomes “Гугл”) have to be transcribed, but Latin is more flexible in that regard. Also, the Latin variant is morphologically closer to English and is, therefore, better for SEO-friendly content. However, there is an upside, both scripts are part of the same language, and transliteration can often swiftly cover both options.
In conclusion, it is better to localize to Serbian Latin, as it’s more common, but All-in Global can offer outstanding localization to both scripts.
Enter the “padež“
Arguably the most difficult aspect of Serbian language for foreigners trying to master it — cases (in Serbian: “padeži”). Those familiar with German will know them well, there are four of them (i.e. der, die, das changes to dem, der, dem in Dativ). In Serbian, there are seven! So, what exactly are they? Let’s use an example, an English word “ball” and Serbian translation “lopta“. Let’s see what happens when we add a dash of grammar:
ENG: This is a ball.
SRB: Ovo je lopta.
ENG: Kick the ball.
SRB: Šutni loptu.
ENG: The sneakers are next to the ball.
SRB: Patike su pored lopte.
As you can see, the word “lopta” is in different form in each example. Now, let’s put this into proper context:
A pop-up message to the user: “You won 10 free spins” -> “osvojili ste 10 besplatnih spinova“
A free spins counter in the bottom menu: “free spins: 9/10″ -> “besplatni spinovi: 9/10”
It takes knowledge and experience to recognize these potential “traps”, especially when applying translation memory matches or copy-pasting content.
These are just some of the challenges of iGaming localization to Serbian. As Edward Gibbon put it: “The winds and the waves are always on the side of the ablest navigators.” Let All-in Global worry about these challenges so that you can enjoy peace of mind, knowing that you provided a good quality product to your Serbian speaking audience.
