Broadly speaking, the main difference between translation and interpretation is that translators translate written texts, whereas interpreters translate orally.

Yes, for translation projects we use Trados. For subtitling projects, we work with the online system TranslatingBox.

Your videos can be translated using subtitles or adding voice-over. It would be very convenient if you provided us with the source project for your video. In that way, we could translate on-screen text, too, or add voice-over in another language fast.

1) You send us your project requirements, providing the necessary information for us to calculate the quote.
For translation projects: Field (medical, legal, IVR, general, etc.), source text, source and target languages, date and time you need it for.
For voice projects: recording usage, script, number of minutes, voice-talent characteristics (age, gender, experience, type of voice, etc.)
2) We work on the quote and send you the quote ASAP ─including voice-over artists’ samples for voice projects.
For translation projects: approve the quote, and send us the source files and reference files you might have.
For voice projects: you select voice-over talents, approve the quote, and send us your final script and source files ─if needed and/or available.
4) We work on the project. During the process, we’ll keep you updated on the steps.

To receive the quote for voice-over services ASAP, please, send us detailed information: type of project, languages required, voice-over gender, script or video/audio and/or number of words (in source script or translated), voice-over recording usage (broadcasting).

Several factors determine rates: voice actor selected, number of words on the script or audio length, type of project (broadcasting or not), recording usage -national, local, global. To avoid additional re-recordings –which may affect the price─, we recommend our clients to use Directed Sessions with Voice Actors. We can organize such sessions for you and your client. Some of our clients use our pronunciation line to avoid additional changes because of mispronunciations.

Our studios and talents are available to be ‘present’ through a conference call we can set up for you and your clients.

Direct Sessions are free for you and your clients.

Embedding subtitles refers to burning subtitles in your video, so you receive the video content translated with subtitles as final deliverables. This is the most affordable option to receive a translated video ─in comparison to voice-over.

2) We transcribe it;
3) We create SRT, PreSub or timecode;
4) We translate (using TranslatingBox or other software)
5) You receive multilingual SRT files or videos with embedded subtitles onto it.

We divide subtitles taking into consideration the following factors: source language and target language (if source is English, and target - other, we try to make them shorter, because translation in target could be longer); logical points ending (not to cut subtitles in the logical part); scenes changing on the screen.
The subtitle line duration should be as close as equal to the spoken phrase duration.

We have a background music database for you to choose from and use in your videos. Or we can provide you with music and song recording services.
