When English is not the starting point

The global content landscape has shifted. Korean dramas captivate audiences in Brazil. Spanish thrillers trend in Japan. Hindi films find viewers across Europe. Content originating in languages other than English now commands international attention, but localization infrastructure built around English-as-source struggles to accommodate this reality.

We manage the complete process: transcription and timecoding of source language content, creation of pivot scripts that enable efficient multilingual production, and localization into dozens of target languages simultaneously. Whether your content originates in Korean, Spanish, Hindi, Turkish, or any other language, we deliver localization that brings your stories to global audiences without forcing non-English content through English-centric processes.

Pivot language scripting

Localizing non-English content into many languages efficiently requires a pivot strategy. The original source is translated into a master English script that captures not just dialogue but context, intent, cultural references, and performance notes.

We create master scripts that equip target language teams with everything they need: literal meaning, intended subtext, explanation of cultural elements, lip-sync timing guidance, and notes on tone and delivery.

Source language transcription and timecoding

Localization of non-English originals begins with accurate documentation of source content. Frame-accurate transcription captures exactly what is spoken, when it is spoken, and who speaks it.

We provide professional transcription by native speakers of your source language, with timecoding to broadcast standards. AI-powered transcription handles the first pass at speed, and native-speaker linguists refine it for accuracy, capturing speaker identification, non-verbal audio cues, and technical annotations.

Multilingual dubbing and subtitling

International content often requires localization into dozens of languages simultaneously for global platform release. Managing this volume efficiently while maintaining quality demands structured workflows, consistent reference materials, and coordination across language teams.

Our workflows support simultaneous multilingual production from any source language. Pivot scripts provide consistent reference across all target languages, and AI-assisted dubbing and subtitling tools let us scale across many languages at once without losing consistency. Quality standards are held through systematic human review at every stage.

Cultural transcreation for global audiences

Content from any culture carries specificity that may not translate directly. Humor rooted in source culture references may not land elsewhere. Social dynamics may require explanation or adaptation.

We approach international content with cultural sensitivity and transcreation capability. Translators and adapters grasp both source and target cultures deeply enough to identify what requires adaptation and how to achieve equivalent impact.
