Summary: This volume provides an overview of localisation practices and trends and reveals its significance in the audiovisual sector.

This book supports cross-border dialogue of academics and practitioners and highlights commonalities and differences between countries and between entertainment industries. As such it provides a new frame of reference for planning, studying and understanding the international flow of media across borders, and the intricacies, challenges and implications of content localisation
