With the increasing expansion of digital media and globalization, there is a rising need for sophisticated audio and video translation systems to overcome language and cultural barriers. This paper explores the role of these systems in localizing multimedia content, ensuring accessibility, and complying with global standards, including those focused on individuals with disabilities. The research aims to investigate how various translation technologies, such as dubbing, subtitling, and audio descriptions, contribute to industries, like entertainment, education, and corporate communication. The study assesses the effects of technological advancements, including machine learning, artificial intelligence, and audiovisual translation tools, in enhancing efficiency and minimizing manual interventions. Additionally, it addresses the challenges posed by user-generated content and highlights the need for localization specialists to adapt to the rapidly evolving digital landscape. Findings indicate the critical role of real-time translation in live events, webinars, and government initiatives, enabling global communication reach. The study stresses the importance of maintaining linguistic accuracy, cultural sensitivity, and integrating accessibility features within translation systems. In conclusion, the paper emphasizes the growing significance of audio and video translation in an interconnected world, noting that future advancements in AI and machine learning will continue to optimize their effectiveness and global applicability.
