What alugha brings to Global Media Congress 2023
From 14 to 16 November 2023, the 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 and real collaboration, and the launch edition of the Global Media Congress sets out to be the platform for exactly that. The alugha team is on the show floor to join the conversation.
This is a historic, first-of-its-kind gathering. The event is built to facilitate business connections worldwide and to help brands reinvent themselves in a new media landscape, bringing together media leaders, broadcasters, publishers, and technology providers. For a platform built around multilingual and accessible video, there is no better room to be in.
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, 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 organisations 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 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 content is not a nice-to-have. Accessible media widens who can watch a video, and it aligns with accessibility expectations that more media organisations 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 content to viewers who are blind or have low vision. Both travel with the single multilingual file, so accessibility scales with every language you add.
A side note while we are on this lane: alugha publishes daily updates on LinkedIn, from multilingual delivery patterns to accessibility expectations and media-workflow notes. If that is the cadence your team needs, follow alugha on LinkedIn for the running thread.
