Resum:	Video games have become one of the most popular forms of entertainment in the modern digital society. The global success of the game industry has fostered the development of the game localisation industry, as developers and publishers strive to sell their games in different languages and territories in order to maximise their return on investment. This, in turn, has been reflected in the increasing demand for trained game localisers who can cope with the different challenges posed by this emerging type of translation and meet the industry needs. Based on the long-standing experience of the MA in Audiovisual Translation at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, this paper will focus on pedagogical issues concerning the training of game translators, and more specifically, training them online, taking into consideration the specificities of distance teaching and learning. After briefly presenting an overview of this MA and its online modality, the paper will shift to the teaching of game localisation, focusing on translation competence and curricular design. Special emphasis will be placed on the teaching resources and tools used to provide a collaborative and engaging learning experience to distance education students that prepares them to embark on a career in this fast-paced and technologically-driven industry.
