“One video, ten markets. I download English subtitles, get them translated, and upload localized versions. NoteLM makes the subtitle extraction efficient.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about this use case
How do you handle voice-over vs. subtitles?
Subtitles are more cost-effective for most content. Voice-over for high-impact videos where native audio matters (brand films, key announcements). Subtitles scale better across many languages.
How do you coordinate translation across languages?
Establish a translation partner network. Use standard SRT format for all. Create glossaries for brand terms. Batch translations for efficiency. Quality review process for each language.
What about cultural adaptation beyond translation?
Work with native speakers who understand both language and market. Some content may need adjustment beyond translation. Subtitles are translated; cultural context is adapted.
How do you measure localization ROI?
Track: engagement by language, conversion by region, views with subtitle tracks enabled. Compare markets with localization to those without. Usually 50-100% engagement improvement justifies cost.
