This paper attempts to propose ergodic as an approach for video game translation. The word approach here refers to an approach for translation products and to an approach for the translation process. The steps to formulate ergodic as an approach are first, Aarseth'sergodic literature is reviewed to elicit a basis for comprehension toward its relationship with video games and video game translation Secondly, taking the translation of Electronic Arts'Need for Speed: Own the City, Midway's Mortal Kombat: Unchained, and Konami's Metal Gear Solid, ergodic based approach for video game translation is formulated. The formulation signifies that ergodic, as an approach for video game translation, revolves around the treatment of video games as a cybertext from which scriptons, textons, and traversal functions as the configurative mechanism influence the selection of translation strategies and the transferability of variables and traversal function, game aesthetics, and ludus and narrative of the games. The challenges countered when treating video games as a cybertext are the necessities for the translators to convey anamorphosis, mechanical and narrative hidden meaning of the analyzed frame, to consider the textonomy of the games, and at the same time to concern on GILT (Globalization, Internationalization, Localization, and Translation).

“…Asset refers to the analyzed game element, Text to whether the format is diegetic (linguistic unit) or non-diegetic (image), Textonomy, as discussed before, to the dynamicity of a text, Traversal Function to the method the players respond to the text, Orientation to whether the asset has only ludic, narrative, or both elements, Dialogue Box to the type of box on which the textons appear as scriptons to the players, Text Visualization to the techniques information is The reason of violence is behind the shift of non-diegetic text from the Japanese version to North American version on the profile of Haggar (Purnomo and Purnama, 2013). The nondiegetic text of the North American version, as seen from the screenshots, is able to visualize more information about the character.…”
