Retain brand tone while entering Malay markets
Maintaining brand consistency is one of the biggest challenges in video localization. Kapwing’s subtitling workflow includes built-in tools that make it easy to preserve your English tone and voice as you expand into Malay-speaking markets.
Create custom Translation Rules to ensure accurate, on-brand subtitles. Log your brand name, product terms, and industry-specific language so they're automatically applied across future projects. This keeps subtitles aligned with your original messaging and helps deliver a consistent viewer experience.
