# Multilingual and Regional Streaming Platform | Vodlix **Source:** https://vodlix.com/multilingual-streaming-platform **Kind:** Build a … like X **Brand modelled:** SonyLIV **Summary:** Launch a streaming service for regional audiences: localised interface and catalogue, right-to-left support, dubbed audio, subtitles, live TV, local payments. **Publisher:** Vodlix --- Regional and multilingual streaming ## Launch a Streaming Service for Regional and Multilingual Audiences Serve viewers in their own language, with live channels, dubbed audio and local payment methods. Vodlix localises the whole service, from the menus to the metadata to the checkout. ## Regional Streaming Needs More Than Subtitles Audiences for regional cinema, local TV and diaspora content expect the whole service to speak their language: the menus, the title names and synopses, the audio and the way they pay. A service that only translates its subtitles still feels foreign. Vodlix lets broadcasters, regional studios and language-focused services set the interface language and the catalogue language separately, add languages as they grow, and control which titles play in which countries. ## Localised From Interface to Checkout Every layer of the service adapts to the viewer's language and market. ### Localised interface Change the default language, export the interface strings for translation and import them back, with language codes in URLs and the sitemap. ### Translated catalogue Give every title its own translated name, synopsis and metadata, one panel per language, shown in every app. ### Right-to-left languages Arabic, Hebrew and Urdu display right to left on web, mobile and TV, because direction is a property of the language. ### Dubbed audio tracks Carry the original audio and dubs in one title. Viewers switch tracks without restarting, and audio description works as another track. ### Subtitles in 200+ languages Upload SRT or VTT files, fix timing in the built-in editor, and let viewers style captions to suit them. ### Local payment methods Run several gateways at once and assign them per market, including regional providers alongside global ones. ## Live Channels With a Full Programme Guide Regional audiences often come for live news, sport and entertainment channels. Add channels with an HLS stream, attach an XMLTV feed for the guide, and let viewers browse by category or channel number. - Programme guide on web, mobile and TV apps - Catch-up from the guide on channels with network recording - Pause and rewind live with time shift - Cast from phone to TV without restarting the stream ## Right-to-Left, Built In Right-to-left layouts are part of the platform, not a custom project. When a viewer picks Arabic, Hebrew or Urdu, the interface mirrors on every device, including TV and mobile apps, and text is stored in UTF-8 throughout. On a first visit the language is chosen from the viewer's location or browser, if that language is installed. After that, their own choice is remembered. ## Control Where Each Title Plays Regional rights rarely cover the whole world. Allow or block countries per title, per package or for the whole platform, and the rule is enforced at the stream before playback on web, mobile and TV, with no third-party service or code. ## Multilingual Streaming FAQs **Q: Can the interface and the catalogue use different languages?** Yes.
