Contextual translation & TMS
A translator needs to know what a sentence means in your product, not just what its words mean in a dictionary. Start with the brief, settle the terms, then decide how your team will review and reuse the result.
Follow the guidesVideo localization & dubbing
A translated script is only part of a localized video. The voice has to fit the speaker, the timing has to fit the edit, and the viewer still needs readable text and a clear message.
Follow the guidesWebsite & app localization
The translation should fit the interface and the release process. For a website, readers need a language URL they can find and share. For an app, the strings need to work in the screen, not just in a spreadsheet.
Follow the guidesCreative & campaign localization
A line that works on the English master may wrap badly on a square ad or lose its meaning in another market. Treat wording, layout and the offer as one creative review, then make the variants from an approved master.
Follow the guidesContent workflows & publishing
Automation is useful when the next step is clear. Give a brief to the right task, send decisions to the right person and keep the approved result separate from a draft. The workflow should make the work easier to follow.
