Localize ads without briefing an agency
An agency sends back translated copy that still has to go into the design. Ad Localizer returns the finished ad: text translated inside the image, video dubbed and subtitled, in the formats you run.
Agency or Ad Localizer, side by side
Both get your ad into another language. They differ in what you hand over, what you get back, and who checks it.
| Translation agency | Ad Localizer | |
|---|---|---|
| What you send | Copy decks, scripts and design files | The finished image or video ad |
| What comes back | Translated text, to be placed into the design | The localized ad itself, ready to download |
| When work starts | When the agency schedules it | As soon as you upload, with progress shown per job |
| Video voiceover | Voice talent and studio time, booked separately | Translated voiceover in the original speaker’s voice with consent, a stock voice or a designed one |
| Formats | Each size briefed and produced | 11 aspect ratios for images; 1:1, 4:5 and 9:16 for video |
| Price | Usually per word or per project | A monthly plan from €22; 2 credits per image version |
| Who checks it | A professional linguist | You, in the review step; ask a fluent reviewer before launch |
| Rewriting the idea | Transcreation, when you pay for it | Translation with your glossary; reworking the concept is up to you |
Which one to use when
Ad Localizer fits
Testing a new market, refreshing creative every week, needing every placement in every language, or dubbing video without booking voice talent.
An agency is the better call
Regulated claims, legal copy, a campaign concept that has to be rewritten for the culture, or a language Ad Localizer does not offer.
Or use both
Make the versions here, then have a fluent reviewer or your agency approve the final wording. Reviewing finished ads is faster than briefing them.
Questions about switching
Is machine translation good enough for ads?
For many ads it gives a strong first version. Treat it as a draft: check meaning, offers and brand terms, and have a fluent reviewer approve anything that goes live.
Can my agency review the output?
Yes. Download the files and send them for review, then correct any text or script line in the studio and generate that version again.
Does Ad Localizer replace a copywriter?
No. It adapts an ad you already have. Writing a new campaign, or rewriting one for a different culture, is still a copywriter’s job.
