Definition
Video localization adapts a video for a target language, market and audience. It can include subtitles, on-screen text, dubbing, timing, metadata and delivery review.
How it appears in real workflows
For product videos, separate spoken claims, captions, specifications, prices and calls to action. For short dramas, preserve episode context, character terms and recurring relationships.
What it is not
It is broader than subtitle translation: a translated SRT is one possible output, not the whole localized release.
Review questions
- What is the actual source: audio, visible text or a separate subtitle file?
- Which episode, market, language or product version does this output belong to?
- What must be checked before the localized video or subtitle file is released?

Apply this term in a real workflow
Use video localization as a review decision, not just a label on a task. Identify the source asset, the version being changed and who can approve the result. A mechanically valid subtitle can still contain the wrong name, product detail or intended meaning.
