We often get asked if we can deliver music videos in other languages. In regards to the video content itself, all video partners except Amazon Video accept music videos that are performed in another language. In regards to how the titles themselves are displayed on each video platform, please see the below:
For our BASE video partners (VEVO, iTunes, Tidal, Amazon, and Noiseporn Network)
We can distribute music videos with their native language titles intact to VEVO, Tidal, iTunes, and Noiseporn. For Amazon Video delivery, we only deliver to US and UK, and if the video is NOT in English, we would need a closed caption file provided to us ( .srt or .scc ) in all English in order to deliver to Amazon Video. The title would also need to use English characters for Amazon Video delivery.
For example:
English Title: “Forever a cat”
Native Russian Language Title: “Навсегда кот”
Russian title using English characters: “Navsegda kot“
For our PLUS video partners (Dailymotion, Music Choice, Xumo, VidaPrimo, ViewLift and Mood Media)
We can distribute music videos with their native language titles intact to all Plus platforms.
We recommend during the video submission process that you let us know in the special comments section how you would want your video title displayed if it is in another language.
