Have us transcribe and localise your content for any new global audience. We make sure your content is properly localised so that it can be accessed and enjoyed abroad even if it was created for a very different domestic market.

Rely on our strict ISO 9001 and ISO 17100 quality standards and the actual entertainment industry experience or qualifications of our linguists to develop content that you can deploy across platforms, channels, and language barriers.

Organisations of all sizes and around the world use our TV and film translation services for their archive requests, filming guidelines, legal documents (including release forms and location agreements), as well as their film footage and audio and video content itself.

Count on TV and film translation services delivered by experts

Having worked with some of the most reputable producers and creators in the world, we have developed translation services that are sympathetic to the specific requirements of the media and entertainment industries.

The cultural component is often the most vital when translating both factual and fictional TV and film content. To be compelling to your new audience, any translated content needs to be localised with the culture of your target region in mind.

That’s why we also only ever use translators who are natives of your target market to translate all of your TV and film-related content, including:

 

  • Film and video footage
  • Social media videos
  • Advertising and marketing collateral
  • Filming guidelines
  • Legal and financial documents and contracts
  • Training content

How does media, TV, and film translation work?

Transcription

The first step towards creating accurate and effective translations of any video content may be transcribing the performance.

Useful for the post-production cycle, a transcription gives stakeholders a word-for-word account of what is said in any video content. This is ideal when you don’t have a script available for any reason – perhaps this was an unscripted TV spot or interview.

In any of these cases and more, your translation service can include getting an accurate and high-quality transcription created swiftly and easily. This can assist production houses in meeting their editing and legal obligations.

Translation, localisation, and transcreation

You might need to translate release forms for use abroad, create international contracts, develop effective multilingual marketing, send business correspondence to a foreign investor, or localise your script itself.

Whatever your needs, our fast, efficient, and accurate TV and film translation services cover all topics and formats in over 200 languages.

On some occasions, your materials may need creative translation in the form of our transcreation service. This enables us to creatively reimagine certain elements to adapt them more closely to local norms and expectations in very different global markets.

We will always discuss with you when your material may benefit from this and work with you to retain your original vision for your work.

Subtitling, voice-overs, and dubbing

Use us to source the voice talent needed for all kinds of dubbing and voice-overs. We achieve the highest levels of fluency and accuracy, which can be based on the high-quality transcription we’ve produced from original material like interviews or news reports.

You can also use us to create accurate localised subtitles for everything from short promotional videos intended for social media to full-length feature films.

 

Call on specialist TV and film interpreters too

Find the interpreters you need for TV and film production anywhere in the world.
