Use Case: Smart video localization with Dataclay + PopChar

Expanding into global markets? Localization is one of the most exciting challenges businesses face, but it can also be complex, time-consuming, and error-prone. When it comes to video production, ensuring that your text content is properly adapted for different languages with all the correct special characters and accents is one of production's biggest challenges.

For video producers, content creators, and businesses that work with multilingual assets, PopChar and Dataclay Templater offer a seamless solution that makes the entire process much easier and faster.

As Arie Stavchansky, PhD., founder and CEO at Dataclay, explains: “Many of our Templater users work to localize video templates into multiple languages at scale, ensuring each template’s output communicates effectively across diverse audiences. PopChar streamlines this process by providing clear, accessible insights into font capabilities, allowing teams to verify language support with ease and accuracy.”

The localization challenge: Too much manual work and frustration with special characters

When working with content in multiple languages, the challenges quickly add up. The need to adapt typographic content, subtitles, and documents for different regions can lead to errors and inefficiencies. Here’s why:

The struggle with dynamic content and data entry
Most businesses still rely on standard word processors for document creation. Unfortunately, these tools are limited when it comes to dynamic content. When personalizing text within video content with details like names, addresses, or product info, you often end up doing more manual data entry, which not only takes up time but increases the risk of mistakes.

Managing special characters and accents
Now, consider the pain of adding special characters like é, ñ, €, or ç. In many cases, creators have to either memorize obscure keyboard shortcuts or dig through menus just to find the right symbol. This is frustrating and slows everything down, especially when you're working with multilingual content.
