Subtitle localisation with oneSuite: optimal processes in one tool
Video has now become one of the most popular forms of communication. Global reach is key here – which is why most videos need subtitles in multiple languages
Video subtitling involves numerous steps that must all fit together seamlessly:
- Detailed review of the material, including graphics and images in the video that require localisation
- Transcription of the video audio track
- Creation of subtitles in the source language (including timing, etc.)
- Translation of the subtitle file
- Length check and trimming
- Integration of the translated subtitles into the video
- Quality assurance using computer-aided testing
- Responding to customer-specific enquiries regarding subtitle types, available material and more
Using our own translation tool, oneSuite, translated subtitles are inserted into the video in real time to tailor the text length and timing to the on-screen content.
Depending on the requirements of your multimedia localisation project, we also work with specialist partners who, for example, have a database of voice-over artists or the audio/video equipment needed for video editing or the initial creation of subtitle files.
