Regional and dialect review checklist

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

Regional checks

  • If most of your Swahili audience is in Kenya, localize spelling and references for that market.
  • For Swahili, keep diacritics and accents consistent across the whole timeline.
  • For interviews, prioritize clarity for names and key phrases in Swahili.
  • Keep a small Swahili glossary for names, places, and brand terms before your final QA pass.

Dialect checks

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

Best use cases for Swahili captions

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

Quick tips for cleaner Swahili captions

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