This is heartening, and I loved the examples mentioned. I worked hard to give Greek viewers the best possible experience of Physical 100: Italy, and I know my colleagues did the same for the other 31 subtitled versions.

"Netflix has reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining a subtitling and dubbing ecosystem for K-content through professional translators.

On October 15, Netflix, in collaboration with the Korea Creative Content Agency, hosted a Global Localization Roundtable at the Four Seasons Hotel in Seoul.

Catherine Lertat, Netflixs Senior Director of Global Content Localization, stated, Subtitling and dubbing are not secondary tasks; they are a second production. Subtitles must capture the essence of the dialogue within the time viewers can read them, and dubbing must convey the original meaning and emotions through voice acting, which requires significant time and effort to produce.

Netflix reported that it collaborates with 122 partners worldwide to provide dubbing in 36 languages and subtitles in 33 languages. Approximately 60 people are involved in the production of dubbing for a single language, leveraging expertise in translation, acting, and recording to convey the original works appeal.The Korean series Physical: 100 was highlighted as a representative example of localization. The original Korean version of Physical: 100 supports dubbing in 16 languages, while the Italian version has 13 languages and the Mexican version has 10 languages, with subtitles available in 32 languages.

Lertat noted that AI-generated subtitles and dubbing struggle to convey human emotions. She remarked, Sophisticated and elegant emotions, like those in the film Possible Love, can only be replicated by humans. AI cannot replace experts; it serves as a tool to support our work."
