Client Spotlight

In a high-profile collaboration, Go Nova, a leading media company specializing in digital content, partnered with TV8, a prominent Turkish television channel under MNG Media Group. The goal was to provide Arabic subtitles for the popular Turkish series, "Canım Annem."

Given the enduring popularity of Turkish series in Arabic-speaking countries, TV8 aimed to add Arabic subtitles to the episodes. To meet this demand, Go Nova embarked on a search for adept multimedia localization professionals capable of exceeding their expectations.

The Challenge: Managing Volume, Maintaining Precision
