Regional and dialect review checklist

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

Regional checks

  • If your Somali audience spans Somalia and Ethiopia, publish separate caption exports when terminology differs.
  • For Somali, keep diacritics and accents consistent across the whole timeline.
  • For short clips, keep each Somali caption to one concise idea.
  • Keep a small Somali glossary for names, places, and brand terms before your final QA pass.

Dialect checks

  • For mixed Somali audiences across Somalia and Ethiopia, avoid region-only slang unless it is intentional.
  • Keep one spelling standard per video so Somali captions feel consistent.
  • Maintain a reusable glossary for repeated Somali terms across episodes.

Best use cases for Somali captions

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

Quick tips for cleaner Somali captions

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