How subtitle translation works

There are three main pillars to the subtitling process: video transcription, subtitle timing, and subtitle translation and editing. All three tasks are handled by experienced specialists and translators with the help of professional software.

1. Video transcription

While we do offer automated machine transcription, we mainly stick to human transcription to guarantee the best possible quality. Our project managers will walk through everything with you to come up with the optimal solution for your project.

2. Subtitle timing

Subtitle timing – the process of synchronising the time codes with the audio – plays a crucial role in making the subtitles easy to read and understand.

Our team of technical specialists always takes numerous factors into consideration, such as:

• The exact beginning and end of the subtitle and how long it is displayed
• The appropriate font type and size
• The correct placement of subtitles in the frame
• The use of appropriate formatting and software

3. Subtitle translation and editing

In this phase, we translate texts into the required language and make sure that localisation is of the high quality needed to align the subtitles with the cultural context of the target country so that they are more natural for the audience. We preserve the essence of your video – humour remains funny, and serious content loses none of its gravitas. We have a rich pool of experienced translators able to deal with wide-ranging content. Translation is followed by editing and proofreading, an integral part of the process to ensure grammatical and stylistic precision.

We will consult everything in detail with you in order to identify the best fitting solution.
