Another popular type of translation is the translation of film subtitles. At Alingua, we can do this in two ways: by working with the text or subtitles in the source language and with the recording itself. In the latter case, we will make a preliminary transcription of the recording so that we can proceed quickly and efficiently.

Translating film subtitles is not only the translation of text, but also the art of matching it to the visual content. For comfortable and intuitive reading, the text at the bottom of the screen should not exceed two lines of approximately 35 characters each. A professional translator is able to shorten the text to this length, without any loss of meaning. The great advantage of this translation method is that the original soundtrack is preserved, and it is easier and quicker to adapt the film for any number of the 85 languages spoken by our translators.

Film translation involves the translation of material made up of sound and image. This can be anything from a TV series to educational materials, adverts or interviews. Our team of experienced professionals translates online subtitles, makes voiceover recordings of texts and dubbing.

To carry out a quality translation, it is not enough to know the foreign language. Translation work also requires an excellent grasp of the source material and of the cultural background. But that’s not all: an equally thorough understanding of the target audience is essential.

Alingua Audio & Content’s team of translators are professionals with a passion for their work, vast experience and a curiosity that pushes them to constantly develop their skills. Some are also native speakers who are able to check each piece of content for linguistic accuracy and cultural relevance before it reaches its target audience.

Content that has been translated for films can be both dubbed and voiced-over. To record a voiceover, you first need a transcription of the film. The text is then sent to the person who is suitable for the job. In the case of recordings for films, these are actors and other people with the necessary skills and a strong awareness of their voice. Only such specialists can preserve the mode of expression and the unique character of the source material. This is all the more important when recording dubbing, when it is necessary to retain not only the sense of the dialogue, but also to match it with the mouth movements and facial expressions of the characters.
