Localization & dubbing

Localization & dubbing

Anyone with an audience beyond one language — also the highest-margin upsell because it multiplies content you already have.

What you get

  • Existing content translated and dubbed into every target locale you set
  • Soft subtitles by default, with voice matching to a library voice or a cloned one
  • Idioms and claims flagged automatically wherever they don't travel across a market

Multiplies content you've already made rather than producing anything new from scratch

Voice cloning only ever runs against a usable, consented reference — never assumed from a translation request alone

Local prime-time scheduling is on by default, so a dubbed piece doesn't post at the wrong hour for its market

This automation procedure states the target design honestly: the dubbing pipeline itself isn't running yet, so a localization cadence isn't live automation today.

Settings you control

Every setting below ships with a real default — never a blank. Nothing here is asked unless it’s something the agent genuinely can’t infer, or changes the output or the price.

Pricing

Priced per finished piece from your live plan — see the exact, itemised quote in Preview before anything spends. Nothing here is a static number; it's computed from your settings every time.

What runs unattended vs. needs your approval

This is the target procedure, stated honestly rather than as a live path: each cycle would read the glossary and do-not-translate list first, translate per your translation mode into every target locale, run the cloned-voice pipeline only when voiceMatching is set to cloned and gated on a usable, consented voice reference, flag untranslatable idioms via cultural review, and schedule per local prime time. Nothing spends until the source content to localize already exists.

Auto-post is off by default. A new workspace approves its first five pieces one at a time before anything publishes unattended.

Auto-publishing without approval is a Pro-plan-and-up feature — a risk gate, not a cost one. Producing a piece costs the same whoever ordered it; posting to your real account unattended is a different exposure.

Reference: recommended. A voice reference is required, but only when you ask for a cloned voice — the default library voice needs none.

Sample outputs

An abstract glowing network of light nodes suggesting global reach.
A vintage-style microphone in a padded recording booth.

Frequently asked

Does it need a face on camera?

No — it works from your existing content's audio and video, translating and dubbing what's already there.

Do I need to provide a reference?

Only for a cloned voice — that needs a usable, consented voice reference. The default library voice needs none.

Does it publish automatically?

Auto-posting is off by default. A new workspace approves its first five pieces one at a time before anything publishes unattended, and unattended posting stays a Pro-plan-and-up feature everywhere — not because it costs more to produce, but because posting to your real account without a look is a risk decision, not a pricing one.

Is the automation live today?

Not yet as an unattended cadence — the dubbing pipeline itself is still being built. The settings and defaults above are real and already how the service is specified to behave once it lands.
