Having been established in 1993, ATV is one of the most popular free-to-air television networks in Turkey, with a 12.6% total day viewing share in the last year. It is owned by Turkuvaz Media Group which operates in newspaper and magazine publication and printing besides television and radio broadcasting.
Despite having produced and broadcasted many high-budgeted and memorable series so far, ATV could still not escape an unfortunate fate. When Sevdam Alabora, which was broadcasted on TV in 2015, had to end immaturely, lasting only 1 season of 4 episodes, 8 hours in total.
Was this due to a poorly-written script or an unsuitable casting? Could Sevdam Alabora last longer if it had been broadcast on a different day or at a different time? Apparently, these were trivial factors in this case as it gained a huge success on a social media streaming platform afterwards, that is YouTube.
Having a strong partner like Ollang inspires confidence and courage to take the step… They literally do their best to overcome any possible challenges and continue testing their process through trial and error until they come to the client with a solution.
Onur Yıldırım, ATV Chief Digital Officer
ATV has trusted Ollang in the past as a solution partner to get Turkey’s most popular series such as Kuruluş Osman and Hercai subtitled for English speaking as well as non-English speaking audiences including Arabic, Spanish, Urdu, Malay and Russian.
The cooperation was a high-achievement thanks to our AI-powered translation software which is polished by the efforts of professional and experienced human translators. After seeing this success, ATV did not give a second thought before challenging Ollang to translate subtitles for Sevdam Alabora in more than 12 languages, a journey beginning with subtitles in Arabic, Turkish and Spanish and then resuming with other languages, Portuguese, Japanese, German and French - to name a few.
