About AI

Translations are produced by AI (Anthropic's Claude) and then checked twice automatically: an independent review with back-translation, and programmatic checks for formatting, length and Steam's official terms. Valve's January 2026 content survey covers store page copy and localization in its AI disclosure; we include disclosure wording with every delivery for you to fill in yourself.
