Calgon (Vestacy) – AI Voice Cloning in Five Languages
How Locaria used AI voice cloning to carry one French performance into five languages and 22 formats for Calgon, cutting voiceover costs by 75%.
The multilingual agency built on cultural intelligence
Locaria adapts global campaigns, content and websites for every market they run in. As part of Stagwell, we combine more than 1,400 in-market specialists in 83 languages with AI and our Adaptria platform, so your content scales across cultures, channels and formats without losing its creative impact or local relevance.

Delivery across time zones
Most global brands come to us with one of these problems. Here’s how we help.
More markets, more formats, more launches, and the same size team. We take the volume off your plate, from resizing and versioning to video edits and finishing, all run from one place in Adaptria so every market gets assets that still look and sound like you.
The line that works in London can fall flat in Tokyo. Our in-market writers, voice talent and cultural consultants rework the idea for each audience, and show you why every line changed before you sign it off.
You’re investing everywhere, but only some markets pay off. We localise your website, search, product feeds and ads around how people actually search in each language, so you get found and chosen, on Google and in AI answers too.
Different content needs different levels of automation and human judgement. We decide asset by asset, so you never pay for craft where a workflow will do, or automate the lines that carry your brand.
01 / High automation
Repeatable, structured content such as product copy, resizes and high-volume versions runs through AI and automated workflows, checked by linguists against your terminology and brand rules.
02 / Hybrid
AI drafts, people decide. Machine translation, AI voice and templated design speed up the work, and in-market specialists review, refine and approve every version.
03 / High craft
Campaign lines, humour, wordplay and hero films are transcreated, recorded and finished by specialists who know the market, with creative routes and a rationale for each.
04 / One operating model
Central account and project management, nearshore adaptation hubs and more than 1,400 in-market specialists work as one team, with one brief, one quality standard and one point of contact.
05 / Adaptria
Our Adaptria platform connects briefs, workflows, assets, approvals and budgets, and is designed to work with the tools your teams already use, so you can see the status, quality and cost of every asset in every market.
06 / What we don’t do
We don’t create the original campaign. We take the master creative your teams or agencies produce and make it work in every market, which is why creative agencies often bring us in as their adaptation partner.
Tell us your markets, the content you need adapted and your deadline, and we’ll come back with the right approach and a quote.
What does Locaria do?
Locaria is a creative adaptation and localisation agency for global brands. We adapt existing campaigns, content and websites for other languages and markets through three services: Creative Linguistics (localisation, transcreation, copywriting and website localisation), Creative Adaptation (versioning, video editing, voiceover, post-production and usage rights) and Multilingual Marketing (SEO and GEO, PPC, paid social, email and product feeds), supported by cultural consultancy and research.
How does Locaria use AI?
We use AI where it makes content faster and more affordable without hurting quality, such as machine translation with human post-editing, AI voice and lip-sync, and automated versioning. In-market specialists stay responsible for creative decisions, cultural fit and final quality. AI can produce possibilities. Our people decide what is worth putting in front of you.
What is Adaptria?
Adaptria is Locaria’s own platform for managing global content adaptation. It handles briefing, workflow routing, asset and version tracking, feedback and approvals, quoting and reporting, and is designed to connect with the systems your teams already use. Our in-market specialist network runs on it, so you get technology and people in one service.
Which languages and markets do you cover?
We work in 83 languages across 98 markets through more than 1,400 in-market specialists, with project management and nearshore adaptation hubs that let us deliver around the clock.
Does Locaria create original campaigns?
No. We adapt them. Your brand or creative agency develops the master creative, and we make it work in every market: transcreating copy, recording voiceover, editing and versioning video, and adapting static, digital and print assets. Many creative agencies work with us as their adaptation partner.
Is Locaria part of Stagwell?
Yes. Locaria is part of Stagwell, the global marketing network. We provide multilingual adaptation for Stagwell agencies and their clients, and work directly with global brands.
How do we get started?
Tell us which markets you need, what content you want adapted and your timeline. We’ll recommend the right mix of automation and specialist work and come back with a scoped proposal.
