Multilingual Video Localization Services Built Around Your Project
A global network of over 1,000 experienced human translators and voice artists. Our specialists bring years of experience in translation and voice acting, working on projects for leading entertainment, tech, and consumer brands.
Any service can be ordered individually or combined with others. Pricing is based on your project’s scope of work and deliverables.
Transcription
We create an accurate source-language transcript of the original audio.
- Speaker identification and timestamps
- Names and terminology checked against available reference materials
- Delivery in the agreed text format
Translation & Adaptation
Our professional linguists deliver human audiovisual translation that is accurate and natural, preserving your meaning, intent, and brand voice. We stay close to the original wherever it works in the target language and adapt only what needs to change for the local audience.
- Terminology management for consistent wording, including product and feature names, industry terms, and brand-specific language
- Adaptation of idioms, humor, cultural references, and other market-specific content where needed
- Transcreation where more substantial rewriting is needed to preserve the original intent, tone, and impact
- Timing adaptation to fit the script to your video without changing the original meaning
- Delivery of the adapted script in the agreed format
Voice-over
We cast professional human voice actors who are native speakers of the target language, with the regional accent and vocal style that fit your audience and brand.
- Pronunciation instructions prepared by our translators
- Performance instructions covering tone, energy, pacing, and emphasis, based on your brand, audience, content, and original video
- Recording and corrections needed to meet these instructions
- Audio editing, cleanup, timing, and synchronization
We deliver the final voice-over track and, when required, mix it into your video and deliver a fully assembled localized video.
Dubbing
We replace the original dialogue with localized actor recordings synchronized with the timing and action on screen.
- Casting for all required voices with professional actors who are native speakers of the target language and match the required regional accents
- Pronunciation instructions prepared by our translators
- Performance instructions covering tone, energy, pacing, and emphasis, based on your brand, audience, content, original video, and characters
- Recording and corrections needed to meet these instructions
- Audio editing, cleanup, timing, and synchronization
We deliver the final localized dialogue tracks and, when required, mix them with the other audio elements to deliver a fully assembled dubbed video.
For a full dub, we need a separate music-and-effects track or other suitable source audio from you to preserve the original music and effects. Without these materials, we review your source files, determine what additional audio work is possible, and include it in the quote.
Subtitles
Our subtitling services deliver easy-to-read subtitles in the source or target language.
- Translation and adaptation when required
- Segmentation, line breaks, timing, synchronization, and reading-speed adjustments
- Speaker identification when needed
Delivery: Subtitle files in the required format, with placement directly into the video when required.
On-Screen Text Localization
We translate and adapt any on-screen text, delivering localized text to your production team or handling replacement in the video.
- Replacement of simple text
- Editing text within designed or animated graphics where technically feasible
We review your materials first to determine the approach. Editable project files, video without the original text, or other suitable source assets may make replacement straightforward. Complex text embedded in designed or animated graphics may require additional editing.
Independent Linguistic Review
A second bilingual linguist who is a native speaker of the target language and fluent in the source language independently compares the localized version with the original from start to finish.
The review includes:
- Meaning, accuracy, terminology, and consistency
- Tone and brand intent
- Market and cultural adaptation, including local references, conventions, and audience fit
- Pronunciation
- Consistency between the adapted script and final localized video
Standard quality control is included in every project. This independent review is an additional service, recommended for sensitive projects.
