Abstract
A method for generating geolocation-specific subtitles for a video is implemented via a computing system including a processor. The method includes accessing, via the processor, a video including an embedded subtitle file, extracting the subtitle file from the video, extracting unit values from the subtitle file, and extracting a geolocation of a user executing a video streaming application. The method also includes converting the unit values within the subtitle file to geolocation-specific unit values using a unit conversion map, where the geolocation-specific unit values correspond to the extracted geolocation of the user. The method further includes streaming the video with subtitles from the subtitle file on a video GUI of the video streaming application and, simultaneously with the streaming of the video, surfacing the geolocation-specific unit values within a unit conversion GUI of the video streaming application that is surfaced on top of the video GUI.
