Wuthering Waves, an upcoming open-world action game, will launch Wuthering Waves Closed Beta Test 3 to get feedback on how well the game is localized. This comes after their second closed beta test (CBT2), during which players complained about the translations.
Kuro Games, the company that made the game, is actively looking for players to take part in this focused beta test. With the help of player feedback, the goal is to make the in-game text more accurate before it goes live.
Those chosen to take the test will play the latest beta version of Wuthering Waves and complete a survey about their feelings about the localization. For privacy reasons, the Wuthering Waves Closed Beta Test 3 will not be shared with anyone else, and people who take it must sign an NDA. This means they can’t tell other people about any content or details from the test. Those interested in the test can apply before the April 7th deadline.

The closed beta test is not part of the game’s development. Its only goal is to improve the translation. It will not include new material or ways to play.
People have had different reactions to the news. Some players think this extra test is a good thing that shows Kuro Games is serious about giving everyone a great experience.
Others are worrying about the timing since the start date is approaching quickly. They fear there will need to be more time to respond to all the comments before the release.
There are also questions about the qualifications for testers. Ideally, testers should be fluent in both the original and target languages to assess the translation quality effectively.
Some people also talk about how localization improvements are often made with the help of unpaid testers, which is common in the game industry. The community thinks Kuro Games should hire professional teams to translate instead. This approach may be less practical in identifying and fixing bugs.
