One line wrong. Every language notices.

These annotated examples show how we investigate source captions, trace the errors inherited downstream and record the decision that prevents the same mistake next week.

When a herb becomes a deadline.

“Thyme” and “time” sound the same. If a cooking caption picks the wrong spelling, the Spanish and French subtitles inherit a schedule where the recipe needed an ingredient.

Source terminology

Thyme ≠ time

illustrative example

What the video shows

A presenter holds up a bunch of thyme over the pan. The audio alone allows either spelling; the frame and recipe settle it.

Automatic source“Add the time.”
Correction“Add the thyme.”
Illustrative translation from the error
ES: Añade el tiempo.FR: Ajoutez le temps.
From the corrected source
ES: Añade el tomillo.FR: Ajoutez le thym.
Decision storedTHYME · herb visible on screen · never read as “time” in this recipe.
Example 02 · interview channel

A conversation without speakers.

The wording is accurate, but the viewer cannot tell when the guest corrects the host. Speaker attribution changes the meaning of the exchange.

Dialogue structure

Two voices, one caption stream

illustrative example

What the video shows

A two-camera interview cuts from host to guest. The auto-caption joins both turns into one cue.

Automatic cue“You launched in May, no, we announced in May and launched in June.”
Corrected cuesHOST: You launched in May.
GUEST: No, we announced in May and launched in June.
Timing repairThe cue splits at the camera and speaker change.
Decision storedHost and guest names added to the episode dossier.
Example 03 · creator-led education

Accurate words, wrong personality.

Literal translation preserves information but replaces an informal creator with a distant corporate voice.

Voice and register

“Let's get into it”

illustrative example

Creator brief

Fast, familiar and conversational. The phrase opens most episodes and should feel recognisable, not ceremonious.

Literal Spanish“Procedamos a comenzar.”
Localized ES-419“Vamos al lío.”
WhySame function, pace and familiarity as the source—not the same grammar.
Decision storedApproved recurring opener for Spanish episodes.
