Media solutions: Autolocalization with Generative AI

Generative AI autolocalization and its potential benefits

As consumers watch their favorite streaming series, play video games and shop online, today's smart companies use localization to ensure effective global outreach. Consumers often don’t think about how content is adapted to their culture, language and, in some cases, even their religion, but content providers do. Our research data shows that good, localized content and information are more likely to lead to higher customer retention and brand loyalty, as content is personalized. Deploying Generative AI on localization processes can help a business overcome common scalability problems, such as the struggle to retain clients and/or to meet ever-increasing growth targets—while forming an excellent global business reputation through word of mouth to new users.

AI autolocalization can help reduce costs, and open new markets for content that wouldn't be feasible using traditional localization practices.

With the ability to automatically adapt content to specific regions and languages, platforms can gather data on user interactions and tailor their offerings accordingly. This personalized approach not only fosters greater engagement but also eliminates language barriers that may hinder global reach. As a result, Generative AI-driven autolocalization could substantially expand the membership base of media platforms—creating a more inclusive, diverse audience while fostering user loyalty and driving revenue growth.

Text localization

Text localization involves rendering text in the language native to the target audience. Along with text, this can encompass elements such as subtitles, credits, titles, audio descriptions and embedded text. Generative AI capabilities in this domain facilitate automatic text transformation tailored to specific geographic regions. For instance, Generative AI helps ensure that subtitles adapt to local languages and cultural nuances—enhancing the accessibility and appeal of content across global markets.

Dub tracks

In the realm of dubbing, Generative AI excels at translating domestic voice dialogues into the destination language. This involves not only changing actors’ voices but also synchronizing lip movements with the translated dialogue. The result is a convincing and immersive viewing experience where viewers hear content in their preferred language, with accurately matched lip movements.

Rights enforcement and remediation

Generative AI can play a pivotal role in enforcing rights related to visual and audio content. For instance, it can flag copyrighted music and other copyrighted materials within content, helping content creators and distributors identify potential issues. Generative AI’s capabilities in this context include audio fingerprinting and prompt identification of potential rights violations—helping ensure compliance and safeguarding intellectual property.

Objectionable content

Identifying and handling objectionable content is another area where Generative AI can be beneficial. It assists in detecting content that may not be suitable for certain viewing age groups and/or violates specific standards. This can include identifying nudity, violence or incorrect product placements. Generative AI leverages computer vision to promptly analyze content—coupled with text and image modification capabilities to ensure that content aligns with guidelines.

Quality control

Generative AI’s role in quality control can extend to ensuring that content meets high standards. It assists in various aspects, from ensuring accurate translations to fixing human errors in content production. Computer vision capabilities enable thorough visual analysis, while natural language understanding techniques enhance text comprehension—collectively contributing to content quality and reliability.

Content and virtual creation

Generative AI’s creative potential extends to the generation of entirely new content. This can encompass the creation of innovative advertisements, 3D visuals or even news articles. By automating content creation based on inputs and data, Generative AI opens new possibilities for content producers to stay ahead in the competitive landscape—delivering fresh and engaging content at scale.
