Which museum materials do you translate?

We translate exhibition wall texts, labels, catalogs, brochures, press kits, websites, audio guide scripts, subtitles, educational resources, and donor communications.

Do translators specialize in art history and cultural heritage?

Yes. Projects are handled by translators with proven expertise in art history, archaeology, conservation, and museum studies to ensure accurate terminology and tone.

Can you localize audio guides and video subtitles?

We localize audio guides and time-coded subtitles, adapting scripts for voice-over or dubbing and ensuring accessibility through closed captions where required.

How do you handle brand voice and style consistency across exhibitions?

We create style guides and terminology glossaries, leverage CAT tools for consistency, and assign a dedicated lead linguist for multi-exhibit or seasonal programs.

What is the typical turnaround for exhibition texts?

Timeframes vary by volume and languages, but we provide clear schedules at quote stage and can scale teams for urgent openings while maintaining quality control.
