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, but 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.

Subtitling and Close Caption Translation

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marketing videos, and the last thing you want is to work with an average translation company that uses complicated, outdated processes to translate your video assets for international markets.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

Essential Pre-Production Services for Accurate Multilingual Content

High-quality multilingual audio and video starts long before the final translation or recording. These foundational services ensure your content is properly prepared, clearly understood, and ready for seamless adaptation across languages and formats.

From Audio Transcription that captures every spoken detail with precision, to Script Adaptation that reshapes dialogue for timing, readability, and cultural clarity, through to Translation for Subtitling that delivers accurate, audience-friendly on-screen text — each step plays a crucial role in producing polished, professional multilingual media.

Whether you’re working with legal recordings, corporate training material, interviews, or broadcast content, these services provide the structure and accuracy needed to support reliable translation, voice-over, and subtitling workflows.

Audio Transcription

The first step to audio or video translation 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 however, 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 the 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.
