We can provide your subtitles in any format you require. We can render your subtitles onto your master video so that they’re always visible, or embed them into the video so that they’re visible only when selected in the player.

We offer both standard-format subtitles and subtitles for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (SDH). Our team can customize the style of your subtitles from a wide range of options in fonts, type size and text color, as well as background, edging, drop shadow and anti-aliasing. Depending on your particular programming, we are also adept at following style-guides and templates that you might want adherence to. We’re familiar with the particular formatting and style requirements of all of the major streaming platforms and can easily incorporate any specific requirements you may have for your projects.

We provide clients with high-quality dubbed versions of their films and videos in multiple languages while ensuring their content is secure. We work with the best voice talents in the industry to ensure that your audiences are able to connect with your content.

Localization without losing originality

Localization is more than just translation. Effective dubbing is an art that brings content to life for audiences in different geographies, with a viewing experience as rich as the original.

Dubbing services must ensure that voice and tone, accents, pauses, and conversation styles remain natural to the ear. Dubbing services must also remain faithful and accurate to the original context. Our team works to accurately portray your message and capture the essence and tone of the original actors and video. They also take into account cultural nuances, words, and phrases, so they have the same meaning to the new audiences. They are passionate about watching and understanding the content, and translating and localizing the transcript, paying close attention to detail and accuracy, including dialects and local usage to retain your message, style, and context. The voiceover team records the script with the apt actors under the supervision of directors who ensure perfect alignment of the lip movements and tone.

Translation Subtitling and GLP

The Global local

Through our skilled and experienced team of translators and streamlined workflow, we provide our clients with the most cost-effective translation subtitling services.

Our teams understand their local markets and nuances. This allows us to provide high-quality, multi-language versioning.

Quality control

Translation subtitling requires a lot more than simply creating a word-for-word translation and it is important to ensure that translation is not literal, but keeps the context in focus. Our team members, including the Quality Control team, comprise qualified linguistic translators who have vast experience in translating global content. Quality Control checklists and reports enable continuous improvement.

Streamlined translation process

When translating subtitles, it is important to adopt text that can be read easily with what is being displayed in the video, at the right speed. Different languages have different word lengths and sentence constructions. Our translators are adept at having the translated content synchronize precisely with the video, without affecting the accuracy and overall quality of the translation.

Additionally, our translators will carefully select the correct target-language font and suggest the most suitable formats or players to properly view the translated text. Certain fonts and players will not support specific languages, which may affect the way the subtitled content is displayed on screen. This is especially important for Asian languages or right to left languages such as Arabic. Once the translation is completed, our team of multilingual multimedia experts will synchronize the subtitles to the video, making sure that the timing between audio and text is accurate.

The output will undergo quality assurance by both the subtitling synchronization team and the translation QC team before the file is delivered.
