What Is Subtitle Translation?

Subtitle translation involves converting spoken dialogue and text in audios, videos or films from one language to another. Displayed at the bottom of the screen, these subtitles help viewers follow the story in a language they understand. It’s more than direct translation; it also includes cultural and contextual adaptation for relevancy and clarity to the audience. As the technology improved, the evolution of subtitling services also enhanced. Curious to know the Evolution Of Subtitling Services? Read this blog and know more.

What Is The Process Of Subtitle Translation?

Subtitling Services involves several vital steps to ensure accuracy, cultural relevance, and viewer engagement. Here’s an overview of the typical process for audio or video content:

Source Material Review

Source Material Review

Subtitle translation begins with a thorough review of the source material (SRT file, video or film) to understand the context, tone, and content of the dialogue.

Transcription

Transcription

If a transcript of the original dialogue isn’t available, the first step is to transcribe spoken words and essential sound elements (like laughter, music, etc.) into text.
Translation

The transcribed text is then translated into the target language. This step requires linguistic skills and cultural sensitivity to ensure that idioms, humour, and cultural references are appropriately adapted for the target audience. We precisely translate video to English subtitles and ensure enhanced audience engagement. 
Localisation

Localisation

This involves adapting the content to make it culturally relevant to the target audience. It might include modifying cultural references, units of measurement, idioms, and even humour to ensure they resonate with the viewers.

Timing and Synchronisation (Spotting)

Timing and Synchronisation (Spotting)

The translated text must be carefully timed to synchronise with the audio and video file. This process, known as ‘spotting’, involves deciding the exact moment the subtitles should appear and disappear on the screen, ensuring they match the spoken words and on-screen actions.
Edit Subtitles and Condensation

Edit Subtitles and Condensation

Subtitles must be concise due to space and time constraints. This often requires the intuitive subtitle editor to shorten the translated text while still conveying the original message and intention.
Quality Assurance<br />

The subtitles are thoroughly proofread to ensure correct spelling, grammar, and punctuation and to confirm their clarity and comprehensibility.
Formatting

The final step involves choosing the right font size, colour, and screen placement to ensure subtitles are clear and unobtrusive for viewers.
Integration and Testing<br />
