Words Don't Come Easy

An intro to music localization

Few things are as universal to all human cultures as a love for music. As soon as we learned to speak, we learned to sing.

For centuries, we have been making music about anything and everything: past loves, summertime, wintertime, yellow submarines... You name it! Each song is a complex and unique combination of tempo, rhythm, pitch and rhyme, and that's why each song requires a unique approach.

Here, There, and Everywhere 

Music localization can be applied across a wide range of audiovisual and entertainment projects, including:

Different types of music localization

Lyrics translation

This seems pretty straightforward. Your project features a song. The song conveys an important message, so obviously you'd want your Spanish audience to understand it as well. This can come in the form of time-coded subtitles (if it's a video) or an attached translation in text form.

Singable lyric adaptation

However, if you want your song to be singable, this is where things start to get a bit complicated. You'd be basically writing a new song.
