Product and plan names pinned
A locked glossary keeps product, feature, tier and integration names exactly as they appear in the product and on the order form, in every language.
For sales teams
Deals stall in the meetings you are not in, when your champion forwards the demo to colleagues who would rather not work in English. Octavia localizes demos, follow-ups and enablement so the case for buying travels intact — in a rep’s own voice only where that rep has agreed to it.
The specific reasons this content usually stays in one language.
The video your champion sends round is the only pitch much of the buying committee will see — in a language some of them only read.
Enablement ships in one language, so each region translates its own copy, and claims and pricing language drift a little further with every version.
A feature named three different ways across the demo, the one-pager and the follow-up makes the product look less finished than it is.
The parts of the platform that matter for this work, rather than the full feature list.
A locked glossary keeps product, feature, tier and integration names exactly as they appear in the product and on the order form, in every language.
Where a rep agrees, their own voice carries into the buyer’s language, with control over what may be produced in it. Otherwise, a professional voice per language.
The screen capture stays as recorded; the narration is translated and voiced at a natural pace rather than squeezed into the original take.
The regional rep reads the translated script before audio is generated, so nothing reaches a prospect that the person accountable for the deal has not seen.
Diarization keeps each presenter in a recorded product briefing on a distinct voice, so a regional rep can tell the product lead from the competitive analyst.
Forwarded videos are often watched on mute, on a phone or in an open office. Translated subtitles mean the pitch still lands without sound.
Four steps from the file you already have to every language you need.
The core demo, the product overview and the two or three follow-ups reps send most often.
Take product, feature and plan names from the price list and the product itself, so nothing is improvised.
The rep who will send it signs off the translated script before any audio is generated.
Dubbed videos, subtitle files and transcripts in the enablement library, filed by language.
One upload in, every format you need to publish out.
Including the ones where the honest answer is a limitation.
Only with that rep’s explicit, written agreement — scoped to which content, which languages and for how long — and a clear answer to what happens when they leave. A voice is personal; it does not become company property because it was recorded at work. For shared assets the better default is a professional voice per language, keeping a rep’s own voice for the videos they personally send.
They often will, and it should not be hidden. A short line such as “translated and voiced with AI” costs nothing and protects the relationship; a buyer who finds out later and feels misled is a worse outcome than one who knew from the start. Many teams send the dubbed version alongside a subtitled original and let the prospect choose.
Treat them as things that never change in translation without sign-off. Lock plan and product names in the glossary, keep figures and currencies as your pricing team publishes them for each market, and have anything that sounds like a commitment — uptime, security, contractual terms — reviewed by whoever owns it in that region. A demo is not a contract, but a prospect may quote it as one.
Not in the sense of generating one. If a rep records a video for a specific account, Octavia localizes that recording like any other: transcript, translation, review, then audio. It does not assemble videos from templates or produce new material in a rep’s voice that the rep never recorded. The rep records, the platform translates what they said, and they approve the script.
