Subtitle Translation

What Is Subtitle Translation?

Audiences are increasingly viewing video content from all parts of the world in languages different to their own. Subtitles are often used to make such content—like films and TV shows—comprehensible for international viewers, which makes subtitle translation of paramount importance for content producers.

Subtitle translation is the process of translating subtitles so that video content can be accessible to global audiences. Localising these subtitles is a crucial element of this, as it makes sure that the meaning, tone and cultural context of the original content is captured for the audience’s benefit. Another vital component of subtitle translation is making sure the subtitles are synchronised accurately with the video, with the length and order of sentences varying between different languages. This enables the content to be easily read at the right speed.
