Training libraries, marketing campaigns, and media releases reach new viewers through our subtitle translation services. We coordinate transcription, translation, timing, and playback review, with one contact for every language.
You work with one Day Translations project manager for your language brief, reviewer questions, and production requirements. We record approved decisions from file review through delivery and use them for names and product terminology throughout your video program.
We fit your translated dialogue to the screen and the speaker’s pace. We condense longer wording while preserving the instruction, argument, or character’s intent.
We maintain your product terminology between demonstrations, training modules, and later recordings. We add your reviewer corrections to the glossary so subsequent videos use the same approved terms.
We identify screen text that carries information absent from your narration. If those graphics need translation, we define that production work separately alongside your subtitles.
Send us your recordings and we will plan the subtitles around where they will play.
Our subtitle translation services cover your recorded business and entertainment video. You receive a defined language scope and delivery method, with related production work listed separately.
Through foreign language subtitling, we translate your spoken dialogue for viewers who use another language. You can include corporate presentations, product demonstrations, recorded interviews, training courses, films, documentaries, and television programs.
We adapt idioms and tone for your audience and follow your approved product terminology. We confirm your language pairs and regional variants during scoping.
Through closed captioning, we prepare your same-language dialogue with speaker identification and relevant sounds. A caption might identify an off-screen speaker or describe an alarm that changes the meaning of a scene.
Captions and translated dialogue serve different requirements. The World Wide Web Consortium's Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, Success Criterion 1.2.2, requires captions for pre-recorded audio in synchronized media. It excludes clearly labeled media alternatives to text. We define the caption elements needed for your recordings.
Forced narrative subtitling covers essential text and dialogue that viewers would otherwise miss. We translate signs that explain a scene or brief exchanges in another language.
You can choose this option when most of your recording already uses your audience's language. We identify the elements needing subtitles with you before production, rather than commissioning a full dialogue track.
You receive separate subtitle files, subtitles embedded into your finished video, or both, according to the agreed scope. Separate files let your distribution platform offer selectable language tracks. Embedded subtitles remain visible in the picture.
SubRip Text (SRT) is one available delivery format. We check your other format requirements against the destination platform before production. When you need translated graphics, our audiovisual translation team coordinates that work alongside your subtitles.
You can include surrounding lessons and assessments through our eLearning localization service when your course needs broader adaptation. Voice-over and dubbing form a separate audio scope when you also need spoken translation.
Tell us which subtitle outputs and related production work you need for your videos.
We review your translated dialogue alongside the recording, checking the source transcript, subtitle timing, and finished playback.
We assign a native-speaking linguist to translate your dialogue using the transcript and video. A second linguist reviews meaning, tone, and terminology before subtitle production. We then check the technical playback separately.
Video context matters. An abbreviation that reads correctly in a transcript might refer to a label on screen or a product demonstration. We compare those references with your recording and send unresolved questions to you through your project manager.
We time your translated lines to the recording and adjust breaks around readable phrases. We condense longer translations carefully, especially when the speaker moves quickly between instructions.
We apply the requirements for your agreed distribution destination. Netflix’s Timed Text Style Guide applies to Netflix deliveries, alongside its language, timing, and file-specific requirements.
We watch your finished version with audio and subtitles together, checking synchronization, line breaks, and interference with essential screen text.
Before handover, we confirm that your subtitle output matches the video version used for production.
We coordinate each stage of your subtitle production. Your agreed brief defines the recordings, review responsibilities, and handover, and you send questions through one project contact.
Send us the recordings or samples, the target languages, your release date, and the platform. Include any existing scripts, terminology references, and the name of your reviewer in the same brief.
We assess your audio clarity, available source text, and required outputs. We flag missing information and prepare your production proposal. You receive the scope and pricing before work begins.
We prepare a time-coded source through our transcription team when you need one. We translate and revise your dialogue using the glossary, then time the approved wording to your recording.
We collect questions about names, unclear audio, and specialist terms through your project manager. You return answers through the same contact, without managing separate conversations with each linguist.
We check your finished version in the player before delivery. You receive the agreed subtitle files, embedded video, or both, with the naming required for distribution.
Your final handover identifies the approved video version and its language files. For an ongoing program, we carry your approved reviewer decisions into the reference record for later recordings.
Share your release schedule so we can coordinate translation, production, and review.
We agree on confidentiality terms and the file-transfer route with you before production. Your engagement identifies the files and access needed to handle unreleased media and internal recordings.
You can access security documentation and agreement templates through our Trust Center. Your approved engagement terms govern handling of the project files.
We price your recordings and the required production tasks. Video length, language versions, audio clarity, and source-text preparation affect your scope. Translated screen graphics and voice recording add separate work.
You receive a quote identifying your subtitle deliverables, review stages, and delivery schedule. For a library or series, we assess the recordings together to price the defined work. If you add recordings or change production requirements, we prepare a revised estimate.
Compliance, credentials, turnaround, and cost — answered before you ask.
Still unsure? An expert answers 24/7/365.
Call an expertYes. We can translate your approved script while the edit progresses. We time the final subtitles to your finished cut. Later changes require another timing assessment.
Yes, subject to assessment against your recording. We review the existing wording, terminology, and timing before including reuse in your production scope.
Changing a separate subtitle track leaves burned-in words visible because they form part of the picture. We assess your video to determine whether you need a clean master or additional video work.
We identify each spoken language in your recording before production. We assign the required linguists and distinguish speech needing translation from dialogue already in your audience’s language.
No. Live captioning requires a separate service operating during the event. WCAG 2.2 addresses live captions separately in Success Criterion 1.2.4.
No. Audio description conveys important visual information through speech. WCAG 2.2 addresses that requirement separately in Success Criteria 1.2.3 and 1.2.5.
Yes, when WCAG 2.2 Success Criterion 1.2.1 applies. Prerecorded video-only material requires an equivalent media alternative or audio track. Translating visible labels alone does not describe every important action.
No. Subtitles address part of the media experience. WCAG conformance also depends on the applicable requirements for the complete page and process, including the player and surrounding information.
You work with one project manager for your multilingual video release. We define your production scope and manage delivery. You receive a quote tied to your recordings, language versions, and agreed outputs.
Send us your next training library, campaign, or media release to scope the subtitle translation.
