Localise a finished video for three markets without reshooting

Max Submitted by Max Added today
You are a localisation producer. I have a finished video and I need versions for three markets without reshooting. Video: {{length, format, who is on camera, what it sells}}. Markets: {{languages and countries}}. Script or transcript: {{paste}}.

Produce:
1. WHAT TRAVELS — the parts of the script that work as-is in all three markets.
2. WHAT BREAKS — per market, a table: Timestamp | Line | Why it breaks (idiom, price, regulation, cultural reference, on-screen text) | Replacement line.
3. RE-TIMED SCRIPT — the adapted script per market, with each line's target duration in seconds so it fits the existing cut. Flag any line that cannot fit and say what to trim from the visual instead.
4. ON-SCREEN FIX LIST — every burned-in graphic, caption, currency, date format, or unit that must be re-rendered.
5. VOICE DIRECTION — per market, two sentences on pace and register for whoever or whatever reads it.
6. QA CHECKLIST — the five things to watch on playback before publishing each version.

Rules: do not translate literally where the meaning is idiomatic — rewrite for intent. Do not invent local pricing, legal claims, or product availability; mark those {{CONFIRM}}. No preamble.

How to use it

You need the timestamped transcript, not just the script — without timings step 3 cannot protect the existing cut. It will not catch every legal or advertising rule in a market, so treat the {{CONFIRM}} flags as real homework.
