Regional and dialect review checklist

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

Regional checks

  • If most of your French audience is in France, localize spelling and references for that market.
  • For French, keep diacritics and accents consistent across the whole timeline.
  • For short clips, keep each French caption to one concise idea.
  • Keep a small French glossary for names, places, and brand terms before your final QA pass.

Dialect checks

  • For French audiences in France, prefer local terms that sound natural to viewers.
  • Keep one spelling standard per video so French captions feel consistent.
  • Maintain a reusable glossary for repeated French terms across episodes.

Best use cases for French 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 French captions

  • Keep accents/diacritics intact—small marks change meaning in French.
  • Trim filler words (“um”, “like”) so captions feel clean and fast.
  • Do one quick pass for spelling + names, then ship.
  • For short clips: aim for 1–2 short lines max; punchy captions perform better.
  • Shorter lines read better on mobile; split long sentences into two captions.
