  • For German, keep diacritics and accents consistent across the whole timeline.
  • For interviews, prioritize clarity for names and key phrases in German.
  • Keep a small German glossary for names, places, and brand terms before your final QA pass.

Dialect checks

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

Best use cases for German captions

Quick tips for cleaner German captions

  • If two people overlap, shorten captions to the most important words.
  • For interviews: prioritize names, acronyms, and key phrases—those drive clarity.
  • Do one quick pass for spelling + names, then ship.
  • Shorter lines read better on mobile; split long sentences into two captions.
