Launched in 1994, Kanal 7 has established itself as a leading Turkish TV channel, captivating viewers with a diverse mix of entertainment, including popular Indian and Korean dramas. Beyond its domestic reach, Kanal 7 has set ambitious global expansion goals, targeting Urdu-speaking audiences across Pakistan, India, and neighboring countries.
Their secret weapon? Repurposing their existing content through localization. By strategically utilizing dubbing and subtitles, Kanal 7 breathes new life into their library, making it accessible and engaging for international viewers. This innovative approach has allowed them to build a strong and loyal following in the Urdu-speaking world, solidifying their position as a leading cross-cultural entertainment provider.
With ambitious expansion plans in mind, Kanal 7 entrusted us with a monumental task: dubbing 20 movies amounting to a staggering 1,600 minutes... all before a tight deadline.
Kanal 7's movies, with their intricate characters, diverse voices, and vibrant soundscapes, presented a unique challenge. While AI dubbing might have sufficed for simpler formats, these captivating narratives demanded more.
We unleashed the power of AI to generate initial dubbing scripts, ensuring swift progress. But efficiency wasn't the sole mission. To preserve cultural nuances and emotional depth, we collaborated closely with our dubbing studio partner, optimizing workflows for seamless collaboration.
The final act? Our seasoned translators meticulously reviewed and refined the dubbed script, ensuring it harmonized flawlessly with the original soundtrack. It was a marathon of translation, adaptation, and collaboration, demanding both speed and finesse, ensuring each character's voice resonated authentically with Urdu audiences.
