Regional and dialect review checklist

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

Regional checks

  • Choose Simplified or Traditional Chinese before review so style decisions stay consistent.
  • If most of your Chinese audience is in China, localize spelling and references for that market.
  • For Chinese, keep line breaks compact because CJK captions can get dense quickly.
  • For interviews, prioritize clarity for names and key phrases in Chinese.
  • Keep a small Chinese glossary for names, places, and brand terms before your final QA pass.

Dialect checks

  • Choose Simplified or Traditional Chinese before styling to avoid late rework.
  • Keep proper nouns consistent when switching between regional naming conventions.
  • For global Chinese audiences, avoid highly local slang unless context requires it.
  • For Chinese audiences in China, prefer local terms that sound natural to viewers.
  • Keep one spelling standard per video so Chinese captions feel consistent.

Best use cases for Chinese captions

  • Podcast clips for social platforms
  • Fast conversation where captions add clarity
  • Interview and talking-head episodes

Quick tips for cleaner Chinese captions

  • If two people overlap, shorten captions to the most important words.
  • Double-check names and terms; small changes can alter meaning.
  • Avoid overcrowding the screen: shorter CJK lines improve comprehension.
  • Review line breaks—CJK captions are easiest to read when they’re concise.
  • For interviews: prioritize names, acronyms, and key phrases—those drive clarity.
