What alugha brings to Global Media Congress 2022
From 15 to 17 November 2022, the first Global Media Congress opens at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC), and alugha is part of it. Accelerating change across the media industry calls for global thinking, a wider outlook, and real collaboration, and this launch edition is built to bring that together. The alugha team is at Booth H5-A36 to be part of that conversation.
The Global Media Congress is set up to play a key role in connecting media businesses worldwide and to support brand reinvention in a fast-moving media landscape. It brings together broadcasters, publishers, production houses, platforms, and the technology partners that serve them. For a platform built around multilingual and accessible video, there is no better room to be in for a historic first edition.
alugha turns two of the media industry’s hardest distribution problems, language and accessibility, into a single workflow. With alugha Dubbr, broadcasters, publishers, and media teams produce multilingual and accessible video and podcasts efficiently, then deliver everything from one place instead of juggling separate files per language and per region.
Why multilingual video matters in the media industry
Audiences are more international than they have ever been, and viewers stay with content longer when it reaches them in their own language. A single programme in one language quietly leaves part of the audience behind, and producing a separate edit for each territory is slow and expensive. For media companies working against tight release windows, the per-market re-edit is one of the costliest parts of distribution.
alugha approaches this differently. One video stays the source of truth, and many language tracks are layered onto the same file. Viewers pick their language directly in the player, with translations available in over 200 languages. There is no multi-file library to maintain, no version drift between territories, and no re-upload when a correction lands. For media teams, that means one source of truth, lower maintenance, and content that travels across markets without a re-edit. The same logic powers the kind of business video dubbing that scales global reach without scaling the workload.
Accessibility in media: subtitles and audio description
Inclusive programming is not a nice-to-have. Accessible content widens who can watch a video, and it aligns with accessibility expectations that more broadcasters and media providers now have to meet. The practical question is how to produce accessible media without doubling the workload on every title.
At the booth, alugha shows how accessible subtitles and audio description are produced as part of the normal workflow rather than as an afterthought. Subtitles support viewers who are deaf or hard of hearing, viewers in noisy environments, and people watching in a second language. Audio description opens the same programme to viewers who are blind or have low vision. Both travel with the single multilingual file, so accessibility scales with every language you add.
