Audiovisual Translation Services

Audiovisual translation is an art: a series of specialized techniques and approaches, working with different file formats to provide a faithful, fluent and localized version of your audiovisual text.

Successful translation of audiovisual content requires skillful translators with in-depth knowledge of language, technology, and culture. Whatever your audiovisual project, BeTranslated has the right linguist for you.

Subtitling video content

Audiovisual translation has an individual nature and presents its own issues. While, like any translation, it is a question of transferring the original message into another language as faithfully as possible, there are some significant differences to take into account.

First of all, the source text is usually composed of oral dialogue or monologue. There are several constraints to be taken into account due to the dual nature of an audiovisual text: the target text must stick to a limited number of characters and must be easily read by viewers while visible on screen. Of course, the subtitles must also be synchronized with the dialogue. Our expert translators are able to satisfy the complex needs of audiovisual translation projects.

In the case of closed captions, which allow the deaf and hard of hearing to follow a film or TV series, a color-coding system is also used to indicate what type of sound is being described (birdsong, voiceover, tires screeching, etc.).

Fans of the screen with sharp, creative minds, our audiovisual translators are the only professionals fully equipped to transpose the message of your video, movie or promotional film.
