LOCALIZATION AT THE SPEED OF NOW

Short-form subtitling in as little as one hour. A 30-minute programme dubbed into six languages within 24 hours. Both delivered through AI-enabled workflows with expert human oversight.

The traditional timelines attached to localization are being rewritten.

From creator content and video podcasts to episodic programming and global releases, content providers need workflows that move at the pace of their audiences—without compromising quality.

ZOO combines connected technology, AI-enabled workflows and human expertise to accelerate both subtitling and dubbing across languages and territories.

Beyond legacy localisation timelines

Four-week dubbing schedules and two-week subtitling turnarounds increasingly belong to a different era.

Content is becoming more immediate, varied and global. Live and near-live programming, short-form video, creator content, podcasts and fast-moving licensing opportunities all create different localisation pressures.

ZOO provides the flexibility to respond with the right combination of technology, automation and creative expertise.

HYPER-ACCELERATED LOCALIZATION

For suitable content and workflows, ZOO can deliver:

  • Short-form subtitles in multiple languages in as little as one hour
  • A seven-day dubbing workflow—around a quarter of the traditional turnaround
  • A 30-minute programme dubbed into six languages within 24 hours

These are not simply premium options for exceptional circumstances. They demonstrate how new technology-enabled and hybrid workflows are establishing a faster standard for localization.

SPEED WITHOUT COMPROMISING QUALITY

Moving faster does not mean treating every title in the same way or removing people from the process entirely.

AI and automation can accelerate suitable stages of production, while experienced linguists, performers and creative teams provide the judgement and oversight each project requires.

The workflow adapts around the content, its audience and the required quality level.

One connected global localization ecosystem

ZOO combines specialist localization expertise with proprietary technology built to connect content, talent, workflows and data.

This end-to-end approach reduces handovers and downtime across subtitling, dubbing and media services, giving content teams greater speed, visibility and control.

Whether the requirement is a one-hour subtitle turnaround, a highly accelerated multilingual dub or a carefully managed global release, ZOO can shape the workflow around the project.

MEET ZOO AT IBC 2026

Meet the ZOO team at RAI Amsterdam from 11–14 September to discuss: Hyper-accelerated subtitling and dubbing workflows How AI can reduce turnaround times Where human expertise remains essential New approaches to short-form, live and near-live content How connected workflows can accelerate global releases Reserve a time with the ZOO team to explore a faster, more flexible approach to global localization.
