Regional and dialect review checklist

Use this pass after generation to keep wording natural for your target audience.

Regional checks

  • If your audience is broad, prefer Modern Standard Arabic for on-screen consistency.
  • If most of your Arabic audience is in Saudi Arabia, localize spelling and references for that market.
  • For Arabic, review right-to-left punctuation and alignment before export.
  • For short clips, keep each Arabic caption to one concise idea.
  • Keep a small Arabic glossary for names, places, and brand terms before your final QA pass.

Dialect checks

  • For cross-region content, Modern Standard Arabic is usually the safest subtitle baseline.
  • If your audience is local, dialect-specific wording can increase connection.
  • Keep one register (formal vs conversational) per video.
  • For Arabic audiences in Saudi Arabia, prefer local terms that sound natural to viewers.
  • Keep one spelling standard per video so Arabic captions feel consistent.

Best use cases for Arabic captions

  • Shorts/Reels/TikTok clips that need fast, readable captions
  • Hook-driven edits where captions keep the message clear on mute
  • Repurposing long videos into captioned highlights

Quick tips for cleaner Arabic captions

  • Keep Arabic captions short per line—RTL reads better with fewer words.
  • Prefer phrase-based line breaks so captions feel natural in Arabic.
  • Trim filler words (“um”, “like”) so captions feel clean and fast.
  • For short clips: aim for 1–2 short lines max; punchy captions perform better.
  • After generating, quickly check punctuation placement (RTL can shift visually).
