The original film, carried into Arabic.

In Arabic, "you" and the verb change with the listener: sata'ti for a man, sata'tīn for a woman. Each line is written for the scene, and your team can correct any line in the Studio.

Arabic dubbing, shaped for your audience

Arabic is one language on paper and many on screen.

  • Standard or dialect

    Modern Standard Arabic is common for children's content and documentaries; dramas are often dubbed in a dialect such as Egyptian or Levantine.

    Spelo: Tell us whether you need Modern Standard Arabic or a dialect, and the script and voices follow it.

  • Gender everywhere

    Verbs, pronouns and adjectives change with who is speaking and who is listening.

    Spelo: Each line is written for who is speaking and who is listening, from the film's own context.

  • Names and places

    Foreign names need one consistent Arabic spelling and pronunciation.

    Spelo: Each foreign name gets one Arabic spelling in the brief, used in every line.

  • Long lines

    Translated lines must still fit the original moment on screen.

    Spelo: Lines are placed at the original timing, and speed can be adjusted line by line.
