"Currently the games are being translated and localized and will be available to play in ten languages." This is the actual sentence. It refers to a game or software which has been produced in order to help in e learning. Localised means that it has probably adjusted to fit in to the country, language wise and other factors of the game so that natives will be more familiar and can relate better to the game.
