Guinness World Records

Flexible subtitling services

When working from video without subtitles, for example, we handle all the transcription and time coding, translation and subtitle engineering. The newly subtitled video is then thoroughly checked by our dedicated Quality Assurance team to ensure that all the subtitles read smoothly and are tightly synced to the audio.

Alternatively, we can handle just one or two of these steps for clients who prefer to use in-house resources for some of the tasks involved in the process. We’re flexible.

Multilingual subtitling services

We provide multilingual subtitling services in all languages.

Thanks to our highly efficient, large-scale production processes we’re able to offer a cost-effective solution no matter which language you need. In addition to all European languages, we provide open and closed captioning services for languages such as:

So whether you need Chinese subtitles for your latest corporate video, Korean subtitles for feature films, or English subtitles for an Arabic TV series, we have the expertise you need.

Localization not translation – why we’re the subtitling company you need

Direct literal translation of content will never result in good subtitles. That’s why we always localise your content, with linguists whose native language is the one the subtitles are to be written in.

Localisation of content means:

  • Using idioms relevant to the target culture in question
  • Making sure the correct dialect is used
  • Paraphrasing the dialogue so that the message is preserved

By ensuring that the work of each of our subtitlers is monitored by experienced Quality Assurance specialists, we make sure that your finished project is tightly bound to the rhythm and pace of the onscreen audio, resolving all instances of phrase expansion during translation.

Subtitling by specialists – your options

Start with transcription

Multilingual transcription services are often one of the first steps in translation, subtitling, or voiceover projects. We provide all these services, but are happy to handle just the transcription if required.

Subtitle files and formats

Use us as your subtitling company no matter the file type or format you require. We work with SRT, SBV, SSA, and a wide variety of other open and closed captioning formats.

Your subtitles can be embedded so that they need to be activated using whichever player you’re using, or added to the master video file so that they’re permanently active. The former are often referred to as soft subtitles, and the latter as hard subtitles.

Some of the most popular subtitle files we produce are:

  • For web use, for example distribution through YouTube, iTunes, or Netflix
  • In DVD and Blu-ray creation
  • Streaming VOD, IMF, or DCP
  • Subtitles for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (SDH)
  • Closed captioning files

We offer a wide selection of:

  • Fonts
  • Type sizes
  • Text colour
  • Anti-aliasing, drop shadows, backgrounds, and other effects

If you need any advice in planning your project, we have subtitle translation specialists ready to assist you.
