Subtitling and Closed Captioning

Engage your global audience with confidence.

Using the unique experience from our subtitling team in Australia and abroad, we specialise in video marketing and offer multilingual subtitling for corporate videos, advertising videos, explainer videos, demos, e-learning and many more.

Global enterprises are increasingly relying on video marketing to achieve ROI on a global scale. Video content not only builds better customer trust and achieves higher audience engagement, it also helps companies to generate better brand visibility on the internet.

In order to achieve the strongest impact among your international customers, your videos must be translated with subtitles or voice-overs.

Why use us?

 

Unique – We are one of the few companies that specialise in true translation subtitling.

Translation subtitling requires highly trained specialists who understand the complexities of translating different kinds of content and have the skill to retain the meaning and context of the original version within the subtitles.

Quality – To achieve the best translation subtitling, at Absolute Translations we train our team to the highest of standards and employ the best qualified professional translators in the industry.

Our translation subtitlers are experts within their language field, are native speakers of the target language and have a deep understanding of linguistic and cultural nuances.

Expertise – We are proficient with the latest subtitling software and technology, which is essential for high-quality, synchronised subtitles.

We also have robust quality assurance processes in place, including multiple rounds of review and output review by native speakers.

Fast, easy and affordable

 

You’ve spent time and money creating your marketing videos and the last thing you want is to work with an average translation company that uses complicated, outdated processes to translate your video assets for international markets.

With Absolute Translations, all you need is to provide us with a download link for your video or upload it to our platform, and we will take care of the rest, fast and hassle-free.

We have greatly simplified video transcription, translation, and subtitling so your video is translated with subtitles by professional linguists in a fully automated process, delivering both cost savings and language quality.

Audio Transcription

The first step to subtitling is preparing a transcript. A transcript is used by the translator to accurately translate audio text into another language. If you have an audio file that you need translated for official purposes (NAATI), an accurate transcript will be the first step to the translation.

Creating a transcript of your audio will not only assist the translator, it can be used to create subtitles and prepare for voice-over recording as well.

Script Adaptation

Often requested as part of subtitling services, script adaptation ensures the script meets cultural and linguistic requirements of foreign languages and at the same time remains faithful to the essence of the original dialogue. Our approach is meticulous and ensures authenticity and natural flow.

Before the translation process is started, the script is checked by the translation team to ensure it is suitable and is adapted where necessary.

Translation for Subtitling

Translation for subtitling is not simply creating a translation of an audio script and then placing it as subtitles at the bottom of the video. A script used for subtitling will need to be adapted to meet the subtitling parameters.

The translator has to grasp and retain the meaning of the original version and convey that in another language, while taking into account the reading speed, characters-per-line limits, timing and positioning.
