Streaming Translations
CSOFT’s streaming translations and multimedia localization services help entertainment platforms reach audiences worldwide through high-quality native language voiceovers, subtitling, and dubbing
With more of the world connecting for entertainment experiences from computers and mobile devices than ever, demand for steaming translations has risen so sharply in recent years that many entertainment providers struggle to support their global popularity. What’s more, even in some of the world’s largest languages, it can be surprising to learn that just a handful of voice actors represent virtually all the main characters in each country’s market for dubbed foreign films. Combined with the highly preferential and quality-intensive nature of entertainment localization, the recent rise in demand adds pressure not only for streaming platform translation clients but also for all users of multimedia and audiovisual translation services across channels – a powerful format in multilingual communications ranging from media publishing to branding and marketing.
To meet their needs in competition with one another and parallel sectors, it is becoming imperative that entertainment platforms source streaming translations from LSPs (language service providers) with the global coverage and flexibility to work on-demand and to custom specifications, as well as with the talent and technical capacity to localize within existing series and channels where style preferences are already established in the target language. The good news is that new solutions are already arriving at the intersection of technology and language services. With capabilities such as voice AI, LSPs like CSOFT can target virtually any language and style of acting to seamlessly deliver results at scale with minimal demand for scarce, high-cost resources.
With our technical tools and global network of 10,000+ linguists and subject matter experts, CSOFT offers end-to-end coverage for a full range of streaming translation scenarios, including:
We offer global linguistic resource coverage in over 250+ languages and have dedicated streaming translation experts in countries across the globe so that CSOFT can fully support platforms in their global ambitions, whether it is one episode, a series, or a platform that needs local adaptation.
End-to-End Audiovisual Multimedia and Streaming Translations: Voiceovers, Subtitling, Dubbing, and More
For streaming platform translations, the various core services used in tandem for a video or webcast translation must be integrated seamlessly and consistently, allowing the production side of entertainment to remain out of view for audiences. Whether simply providing the subtitles in the source language or working to capture a character’s expressions in dubbing, one major challenge for entertainment providers is accessing a provider of language services with the resources to coordinate end-to-end production – a particular priority when sourcing linguistic segments or piecemeal translations from multiple vendors across different languages.

Thought Leadership for Today’s Streaming Translation Services: Read CSOFT’s White Paper
After a 2020 breakout that saw entertainment platforms cover five years of anticipated growth in less than half the time, video streaming appears to be joining much of life in a return to pre-pandemic norms, but that slowdown has not necessarily translated into a downturn for streaming localization. With the VoD market growing toward an estimated $257 billion by 2029 (CAGR 17.6%), a healthy trajectory belies the many challenges to retaining audiences month-to-month for platforms like Netflix, Hulu, HBO Max, and a profusion of other publishers courting a highly fickle viewership. In this white paper, CSOFT looks at how innovative technologies, methodologies, and best practices of our customizable streaming translation workflow can help publishers and studios scale up their multilingual reach in a competitive market.
Translations for Streaming Platform Interfaces: UX/UI Localization and Beyond
When it comes to delivering streaming translations, a solid foundation in localization begins with ensuring the availability of a service or platform to the same audiences accessing translated multilingual streaming content. Whether providing TV and movie streaming services to multilingual domestic audiences or broadcasting sports media across languages and cultures, orienting users to what they are viewing requires a total effort in software UX/UI translation characterized by unique content elements such as metadata and other engaging microcontent areas, all of which are essential to giving people an immersive experience.
