Dubbing, Subtitles and Game Localization in the Language Your Audience Speaks.

Dialect-matched voice talent and subtitles across European, Nordic, Arabic, African and Asian markets, for streamers, studios, game publishers and creators.

Quick Answer

What is Arabic Media Localization?

Arabic media localization adapts films, series, games and online video for Arabic-speaking audiences. It covers dubbing and voice-over in the right dialect, subtitles timed to platform specs, and on-screen text and game UI translated and mirrored for right-to-left reading. Afrasia Trans runs Arabic alongside European, Nordic, African and Asian languages in the same project.

The Right Arabic for the Right Audience
