## Measuring ROI for live translation

Teams evaluating live translation usually begin with cost. The better question is
what new reach and efficiency that spend unlocks.

## Where ROI appears first

Multilingual output can increase total audience addressability, improve watch
time in specific regions, and give teams more content to reuse after a live
event ends.

## Useful metrics to track

Growth in average watch time by market

Performance of translated clips after live events

Time saved in post-event localization workflows

Reduced need for separate manual translation pipelines

## The key idea

Translation should be measured as a growth and operations tool, not only as a
localization expense.
