The problem
Content has to exist in many languages and versions for different markets, and keeping track of what is missing is manual and error-prone.
- Someone has to notice that a title is missing a French caption or a dubbed version before it can ship to that market.
- Localization work is requested through ad hoc emails and spreadsheets, with no clean trigger from the content itself.
- Caption and version status is scattered, so teams cannot see at a glance what exists and what is missing across the library.
- External localization vendors need access to specific content, but giving them broad access is a security and governance risk.
Who it is for
- International distributors and broadcasters shipping content across markets.
- Localization and versioning teams managing captions, dubs, and language variants.
- Operations teams coordinating external localization vendors.
How Ceivo solves it
Because Ceivo understands the audio, captions, and language status of every asset, it can detect gaps automatically. An agent can run on a schedule, find every asset uploaded that day, check which language versions exist, and flag anything missing a required language.
When a gap is found, the agent can create the work order and route it, including directly to an external localization vendor. The whole loop, detect, request, and deliver back, runs without a person watching for missing versions.
Vendor access is governed. An external localization company is given a policy-scoped door into the library that defines exactly what it can read and what it can write back, for example read the audio for one series and write back a caption file for that series only. The vendor never gets broad access, and every action is auditable.
Delivered captions and versions are written back into the library as persistent metadata, so version status stays current and visible.
In practice
A nightly agent wakes at three in the morning, finds the day's uploads, and checks their language coverage. It identifies several titles missing a French caption, generates a work order for each, and routes them to the localization vendor through a policy-scoped connection that only allows reading the audio and writing back captions for those titles. The completed captions land back in the library and the version status updates automatically. No one had to scan for gaps.
Why Ceivo
- Missing-version detection is automatic, driven by the understanding already in the library.
- Vendor access is scoped and auditable, not broad and risky.
- Delivered versions persist, so the library always reflects current coverage.
