CCC International

What CCC International does

CCC International LLC is a Yerevan, Armenia-based provider of creative localization, translation, and multilingual business process outsourcing (BPO) services, operating as a subsidiary of Japanese group KIDT Group Holdings since its incorporation in September 2019. The company serves entertainment and media buyers across 50+ languages, with primary end markets in Japanese, Korean, and US manga and webtoon publishing, Japanese and global game studios, streaming and broadcast platforms, and consumer-facing brands requiring multilingual customer support. Its service portfolio covers six core lines: manga and webtoon localization (translation, lettering, SFX adaptation, typesetting, coloring, and manga-to-webtoon verticalization), game localization (text, UI, QA, and player support), media and subtitling (SDH/CC, dubbing, voice-over), BPO and 24/7 multilingual customer care in 30+ languages, data collection and annotation for AI/LLM training, and specialized legal/medical/technical document translation. The single-vendor, single-coordinator model is positioned as a differentiator against fragmented multi-vendor localization stacks.

The technology stack is built around an in-house creative localization pipeline supported by integrated CAT tooling. CCCI maintains translation memories, project-specific glossaries, and style guides across Memsource, Phrase, memoQ, and XTM, and runs all projects under an ISO 27001 ISMS-certified (August 2024) and GDPR-compliant security framework with NDAs executed at project commencement. The company extends its brand through two owned platforms: CCCI Lab (lab.ccci.am), an experimental creative lab publishing original manga such as Salaryman is Transferred into Another World and Yokai Business Society, and CCCI Media (media.ccci.am), a June 2026-launched editorial site covering the anime, manga, webtoon, games, and localization industries.

Commercially, CCCI operates a B2B professional services and managed services model with project-based pricing: translation is billed per word, media work per runtime, creative services per project or chapter, and BPO under retainer or contract. Engagement is initiated through website contact forms with quotes returned within roughly one business day, and ongoing clients are supported by dedicated account managers. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales supplemented by content-led inbound through owned digital properties, LinkedIn, and recruitment partnerships with staff.am. In April 2026, Lorenz Khalil Castañaga was appointed President, and the company continues to operate as a privately held subsidiary of KIDT Group Holdings with no disclosed external funding.
