In the vibrant world of Arab entertainment, few events capture hearts and headlines quite like the Joy Awards. The 2026 edition on January 17 brought together an extraordinary lineup of global and regional stars to international icons receiving lifetime achievement honors.
The nomination videos, which spotlighted nominees’ journeys, achievements, and inspiring stories, played a crucial role in building excitement and allowing fans to connect with the talent before the big night. What many viewers may not realize is the meticulous work that goes into making these videos accessible and engaging to a diverse audience.
This year, Saleh Al Omar Certified Translation (SACT), proudly partnered with the MBC Group—one of the region’s most influential media powerhouses—to deliver professional subtitling services of the nomination videos. Through carefully timed subtitles, SACT enhanced content clarity and accessibility, ensuring the event’s content reached a wider and more diverse audience.
At SACT, we believe subtitles go beyond translating words — they amplify stories, expand accessibility, and board audience engagement. For Joy Awards 2026, our subtitling focused on clarity, timing, and storytelling impact, ensuring that every moment resonated with viewers while maintaining the original tone and emotion.
Being part of Joy Awards 2026 reflects SACT’s commitment to supporting major digital cultural productions with high-quality subtitling, audiovisual localization, and media language solutions — delivered with precision, creativity, and professionalism.
To everyone involved at SACT who contributed to this project: your work helped shine a brighter light on the nominees and made the Joy Awards experience even more memorable for millions. It’s a proud moment for the team, and a testament to how quality translation elevates storytelling on the biggest stages.
Congratulations on a job exceptionally well done! 🏆✨
