Subtitling and Closed Captions
SRT, VTT, TTML, and EBU-STL subtitle files in 50+ languages. Standard reading-speed compliance, line-break rules, and platform-specific style guides for streaming and broadcast.
Translation Is Half the Job. Production Is the Other Half
Audiovisual content marketing does not behave like documents. Subtitles need to fit the reading-speed limit that each language and platform sets, measured in characters per second, without breaking the on-screen action.
Audiovisual translation standards
Dubbing scripts have to lip-sync where it matters and lose the synchrony where the audience does not. Voice-over needs the right voice talent, the right register, and the right post-production.
Translation skill alone is not enough; we pair native linguists with audio engineers, voice talent, and subtitle technicians who handle the production side.
How we translate AV content
Broadcasters, streaming platforms, e-learning publishers, corporate communications teams, and creative agencies each bring their own delivery requirements, in any of our 50+ languages. We deliver SRT, VTT, TTML, EBU-STL, and broadcast M&E in line with the technical delivery specifications of Netflix, Amazon, Disney+, BBC, and other major platforms. Quality control includes spotting checks, on-screen review, and final M&E mix where applicable.
Premieres, festival panels and live broadcasts can add a spoken layer through our interpreters for live events. Licensing contracts and rights paperwork for a broadcaster or a European media regulator can be supplied as certified document translation.

Audiovisual Translation: Common Questions
Can you deliver subtitles to Netflix or Amazon Prime spec?
Yes. We work to the published platform style guides for Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+, and other streaming services. Reading speed, line breaks, character counts, and KNP handling all comply with the platform's technical and creative specifications.
Do you provide native voice talent for dubbing?
Yes. We work with networks of professional voice talent across 50+ languages. Casting includes audition samples for client approval, with options for multiple voice ranges, registers, and regional variants where needed.
What is the typical turnaround for subtitling?
Turnaround depends on runtime, the language pair and the platform specification, and we confirm it in the quote. Express service is available for time-pressured releases, and QC and review add time depending on the spec.
Can you handle SDH and audio description for accessibility?
Yes. We produce SDH (subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing) with sound effect tags and speaker identification, plus audio description (AD) tracks for visually impaired audiences. Both are prepared to the specification of the broadcaster or platform they are delivered to.
How do you handle confidential prerelease content?
All translators and voice talent sign project-specific NDAs. Files are transferred via encrypted channels, accessed through watermarked screening links, and deleted on project completion. Where a studio or platform sets its own prerelease security requirements, we follow them.
