Translation Subtitling: What is it and Why is it Important?

Capital Captions works within transcription, closed captioning and subtitle translation services. Today we are having a look at translation subtitling. Specifically, what it is and how it can help your business grow.

What Is Subtitle Translation

Subtitle translation is the art of translating one video language into another through written text subtitles. In order for this to work effectively, you therefore need to use highly efficient and trained linguists. A professional translator is required in order to comprehend the complexities of translating different kinds of content. Subtitle translators work across a range of genres, so work hard to keep a structurally sound translation to ensure video sync. However, they also must work to retain the meaning of the original text within the foreign subtitles.

Are you are an international brand or a small start-up hoping to make the next leap to international clients? Whatever the size of your company, subtitle translation can really open up your global potential. Capital Captions are in a prime position to offer subtitle translation services for your audio visual projects.
