Reviewing a translated script alone is not enough for a multilingual video. Compare the intended meaning, the spoken delivery, and the on-screen subtitle timing within the same scene.

Set a source message first, compare each language's script, then play the voice and subtitles scene by scene. When one version changes, revisit the other versions' promise and timing as well.

## Define the scene promise before comparing wording

The review target is not word-for-word equivalence; it is the one idea the scene promises to deliver. For every scene, note the central claim, requested action, proper name, or number that must remain consistent, then compare the language versions against it.

Different languages naturally need different amounts of space. Revise a version when extra explanation shifts the scene's focus or delays the answer promised by the title, even if the wording itself sounds natural.

## Read the script and listen to its delivery

Voice review is about more than grammatical correctness. Mark names, product terms, abbreviations, numbers, and sentence endings that could be misunderstood, then check them with a preview of the chosen voice.

Different voice lengths are a normal production constraint. Rather than forcing an uncomfortable pace, shorten the wording or adjust the scene duration, and return overlapping information to the script stage for a cleaner edit.

## Check subtitles against both voice and picture

Subtitles are not merely a transcript; they are guidance the viewer must be able to read on screen. Play the scene to confirm that key spoken terms are present, line breaks preserve meaning, and text does not cover an important visual.

Do not apply one subtitle layout mechanically to every language. Character counts and line lengths vary, so adjust type size, line count, and display time for each version, then check again on a phone.

## Recheck all versions after every change

A script change in one language also calls for a new check of that scene's voice length and subtitle timing. Reviewing equivalent scenes side by side exposes differences in meaning and visual flow sooner than completing each language in isolation.

In AUTOVID, you can review a draft's target-language text alongside a system-language translation, set the channel language, voice, and subtitle style, and then inspect the finished video. Generated material still needs your review of the script, rights, timing, and final output before publication.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is it okay if each language version has a different runtime?

Yes. Prioritize a natural delivery of the core message over identical runtimes. Still, play each version to confirm that the visual and subtitle display time are sufficient for that scene.

### Does reviewing subtitles also verify the voice?

No. Subtitles cannot reveal pronunciation, emphasis, pace, or pauses. Listen to the final voice while playing the subtitles and scene together.
