What is the Content Localization Portal?
The Content Localization Portal (CLP) is a project management application designed to house apps and pieces of the dubbing process in one toolset. The vision is to provide accurate information, which is organized in a digestible manner, generating actionable tasks for all users.
In other words…the CLP is a Netflix tool for dubbing requests (dialogue lists, pivot language dialogue lists, as-recorded dub scripts, and audio description scripts) management.
🗒️ NOTE:
- Linguists do not have access to the CLP
- The CLP is a work in progress. Updates will be documented here.
Access
- To access the CLP, users must have the dub portal user role in Starship.
- To access the Authoring tool, linguists must have a dialogue list author and/or dialogue list proofreader role in Starship.
How does the CLP work?
There are 5 Parts to the Content Localization Portal:
- Projects

- Show Guide
- Request Management
- Communication
This document will focus on the user’s projects.
My Projects
Upon going to https://contentloc.netflixstudios.com/, the user will be directed to the “My Projects” page of the Content Localization Portal. This is the user’s homepage that houses all “‘followed” projects.
