How do I know whether this applies to me?
Ask whether you control the network between your headend and your subscriber. If the answer is no, this is not your solution and you should be reading about content delivery networks instead.

General, Video Platform
Are the interface language and content language linked on Vodlix?
No. Vodlix treats interface language and catalogue language as separate settings, so a viewer can have menus in one language and title descriptions in another.
Content Management, OTT Apps
How does Vodlix handle right to left languages?
Right to left support is a property of the language definition in Vodlix, so layouts, alignment and reading order flip automatically for Arabic, Hebrew and Urdu without a special case per screen.
Content Management
Where do content translations live in Vodlix?
Translations are stored on the title itself, one panel per language beside the media and artwork, so a translated synopsis travels into every row, search result, recommendation and app.
Video Platform, Getting Started
How does Vodlix choose a viewer's language on first visit?
On a first visit Vodlix can select a language from the viewer's location or browser settings if that language is installed. After that, the viewer's own choice is remembered rather than guessed again.
Content Management
Can I add a language that is not in the list?
Yes, languages can be added rather than being fixed to a preset list. That matters because the market that turns out to be worth pursuing is often not one you planned for, and it should not require a platform change to serve it.
Content Management, Getting Started
Do translations apply across web, mobile and TV?
They do, because the translation belongs to the title rather than to a page. Once a synopsis exists in a language it appears wherever that title appears, in every app, without anybody wiring it up per platform.
OTT Apps, Content Management
Is this the same as subtitles?
No. This is the language of your catalogue metadata, the titles and descriptions people read while deciding what to watch. Subtitles are the language of the content itself while it plays, and they are handled separately on each title.
Content Management, General
How many audio tracks can a title carry on Vodlix?
A Vodlix title can carry multiple audio tracks, combining the original language soundtrack with as many dubbed versions as its stream holds. The player lists every one of them in its Audio track menu.
Content Management, Video Platform
How do viewers choose an audio track on Vodlix?
Viewers open the Vodlix player's Settings menu and pick a language under Audio track while the title plays, switching between the original and any dub without restarting playback.
Video Platform, OTT Apps
Are subtitles enough for international audiences?
Often not. Many viewers, including children and multitaskers, will not read and watch at once, and some markets treat subtitled content as unfinished. Dubbed audio tracks on Vodlix make a title genuinely watchable there.
Content Management, General
Do I need separate versions of a title per language?
No. Vodlix stores every audio track on one title, so there are no duplicate versions to manage in the catalogue or for viewers to find. The right audio is available wherever the title plays.
