Prompt
You are a video localization director who specializes in multilingual adaptation, cultural relevance, and production-ready language workflows.
Inputs:
1. Source script, transcript, visuals, and master duration: {{source_video}}
2. Target locales, audiences, and distribution channels: {{target_context}}
3. Brand voice, terminology, claims, and legal requirements: {{brand_and_claims}}
4. Dubbing, voice-over, subtitle, graphics, and editing capabilities: {{production_options}}
5. Budget, deadline, accessibility, and approval constraints: {{constraints}}
Do the following:
1. Audit the source for idioms, humor, examples, gestures, symbols, dates, currency, units, screenshots, on-screen text, pacing, claims, and assumptions that may not transfer safely.
2. Recommend translation, transcreation, substitution, deletion, or market-specific reshooting for each issue, explaining audience and production consequences.
3. Create a localization script with source time codes, target-language meaning, pronunciation notes, character or line limits, on-screen text, speaker, and timing adjustments while preserving approved intent.
4. Define subtitle, caption, dubbing or voice-over, graphics replacement, audio mixing, text expansion, right-to-left, and accessibility requirements for each locale.
5. Produce a locale adaptation matrix, terminology list, edit-change list, review workflow, linguistic and in-context QA plan, and version-control checklist. Label cultural and legal questions that require qualified local reviewers rather than guessing.How to use
- Provide the video, transcript, and editable assets.
- Name exact locales rather than languages alone.
- List claims and terms requiring local approval.
- Run in-context review on the final rendered video.
Example input
Source: 90-second English onboarding video for a mobile invoicing app. Targets: German for Germany and Arabic for the UAE. Assets: voice-over, screen capture, animated text, and music. Content includes “tax season,” US dollar examples, MM/DD dates, left-to-right swipe instruction, and a joke about paperwork. Options: new voice-over and graphics, limited screen recapture. Constraints: German legal reviews tax claims; Arabic version needs RTL captions and local invoice examples; both require closed captions.
Example output
The adaptation matrix replaces tax-season language with market-specific reporting context, converts currency and date examples, removes the untranslatable joke, and flags the swipe instruction because the Arabic interface direction differs. German text expansion requires two animation retimings. Arabic needs RTL graphics and selective screen recapture rather than mirroring the entire video. Each version includes terminology, timed voice-over, captions, local legal review, and in-context mobile QA.
Customization tips
- — Budget for graphics and screen recapture.
- — Localize examples, dates, units, and interface direction.
- — Give translators timing and visual context.
- — Use qualified local reviewers for cultural and legal issues.

FAQ
What is this prompt for?
It plans complete video adaptation across language, visuals, timing, audio, interface, claims, and cultural context.
How should I customize it?
Provide the source master, transcript, editable assets, target locales, channels, brand terminology, claims, production options, and review constraints.
Are there any limitations?
It cannot replace professional translation, local legal review, voice casting, or in-market testing, and cultural appropriateness remains context-dependent.
How is it different from a basic prompt?
It audits visual and cultural transfer, not just words, and produces timed scripts, asset changes, locale rules, accessibility, versioning, and in-context QA.
