Our client is a non-profit, spiritual organization working towards raising human consciousness and fostering global harmony through individual transformation. They wanted the blogs, website, mobile App, and videos of the spiritual guru translated and localized into seven languages – Arabic, French, German, Spanish, Chinese, Russian, and Portuguese. The original videos were in English, and therefore they wanted people in different parts of the world to also take advantage of the teachings in their own language.
We did translations of their blogs, website, and App. We also did end-to-end localization of videos including creative translations to convey their message appropriately along with dubbing and video editing. The content of blogs and videos varied from yoga, meditation and spirituality, to health and wellbeing.
