AND SUBTITLE TRANSLATION SERVICES

Get a Quote

Using foreign subtitling services and subtitle translation for your video content is a great way of targeting international audiences. Translation services help you to spread your message and expand your market.

Capital Captions provide foreign subtitle services which are high quality with fast turnarounds and competitive prices. We work with partners in the translation industry to create foreign captions in a wide variety of languages as well as formats. Our services include foreign subtitles for broadcast, film, online video sharing and websites, as well as DVDs, BluRay and more.

About Our Foreign Subtitle Services

The main benefit of adding foreign captions to video is in expanding your audience, making information accessible to foreign viewers. It’s all about accessibility, but there’s a catch…

It’s absolutely crucial to make sure your foreign subtitles are top quality for the best results. Consequently, online translations mean Google and other search engines can pick up keywords to rank your videos abroad. However, low quality subtitling can very quickly earn a company a bad reputation.

In summary, important considerations in foreign subtitle services include: 

  • Localisation to make subtitle translations relevant to your target audience.
  • Paying attention to structural changes in language structure which can otherwise interrupt the flow of your captions.
  • Ensuring reading speeds and line lengths are optimised and maintained at a reasonable level.
  • Formatting changes involved in the subtitle creation and burning process to ensure foreign characters display correctly.

Foreign Subtitling and Subtitle Translation Processes

The process of writing English subtitles is in itself quite complicated. The additional intricacy involved in translating captions makes professional foreign subtitling services a must. Many things need to be considered within the subtitle translation process in order for captions to be easy to read, fit for purpose, and to function correctly in terms of technology. 

The foreign subtitling and translation process includes: 

  • English or foreign transcription of the source video.
  • Timing insertions and syncing applied to subtitle lines, as well as consideration of line breaks.
  • Subtitle formatting and styling which includes changing colours, text position, italics and size as well as font style.
  • Creation of a foreign subtitle translation template.
  • Line by line, considered translation of subtitle text.
  • Insertion of the translated caption text into the original subtitle file.
  • Amendments to timings, line breaks and formatting to reflect structural and grammatical language differences.
  • Proofreading and watching of the final foreign subtitle file.
  • Finally, subtitle burning and video editing (on request).
