Chinese Simplified Subtitles
Subtitling Without Borders: A Story of Hope in Multiple Languages
Client Profile: Partnering with We Are Caravan, an award-winning creative production company, we embarked on a project underpinned by the shared belief in the transformative power of storytelling. Their dedication to producing content that resonates on a global scale is mirrored in our passion for linguistic precision and accessibility.
Project Overview: The task set before us was to provide Chinese subtitles for the emotionally charged film “Pathways: Hope After Suicide Loss,” a piece commissioned by the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. The film plays a crucial role in connecting individuals affected by suicide, fostering understanding and hope through shared stories.
Our Approach: Acknowledging the complexities of the Chinese language, we engaged a team of native-speaking linguists, specialists in the nuances of subtitling for Chinese audiences. Our goal was to ensure the subtitles adhered to the distinct standards required for Chinese text, without compromising the film’s narrative flow.
Execution: The subtitling process was a delicate balancing act of technical precision and linguistic sensitivity. Our experienced linguists employed their expertise in spotting and detail to navigate the intricacies of Chinese characters and reading speeds, delivering subtitles that were both informative and comfortable to read.
Quality Assurance: Our in-house project managers performed rigorous technical checks, a staple in our quality assurance process, to ensure the subtitles met our high standards. The project’s success was marked by the seamless integration of subtitles that enhanced the viewing experience without detracting from the visual narrative.
Outcome: The result was a Chinese-subtitled version of the film that broadened its accessibility and impact. Our client’s commitment to reaching diverse audiences was fulfilled, reinforcing the notion that good stories deserve to be shared widely and with excellence.
Witness the Narrative Unfold: The final product of the Chinese subtitled video can be viewed, showcasing our meticulous subtitling work that has enabled the film to reach a wider audience. The subtitles act as a bridge, allowing viewers to experience the full depth of the film’s powerful message.

What our happy customers say
In my third year at drama school I recorded a demo at GoLocalise and it was the best thing I could have done before entering the industry. I highly recommend actors to use their studio and services to record a demo. Since recording, I have booked for a paid VO job too! Not only are they professional, provide a great service and produce top quality work; the whole team are wonderful and make you feel very welcome. 100% recommend!!!

Stefanie Smith
Producer at Education First
We’ve worked with the GoLocalise team on countless video projects and have always had the same consistent, great experience. Not only are they responsive and quick on turnaround, I can always trust the VO will be done right – they are always 100% clear with communication and ensure their talent is prepared to record by asking necessary questions upfront before recording. Highly recommended and will definitely work with them on future projects.
Jonathan Lapps
Account Manager at Epipheo
We used GoLocalise to voice several of our films in Vietnamese. The service was friendly and professional. Being able to attend the recording sessions gave me confidence; the sound engineer had taken a lot of time to familiarise himself with our films and scripts, and the voice talents were incredibly competent and good at adapting to any changes in the scripts as we recorded. The whole process was incredibly smooth and I felt in safe hands.
Josie Gallo

Golocalise are our supplier of choice for all our subtitling and transcription needs. After years of hassle trying to do it all in-house we have found their service to be a revelation in terms of speed, flexibility and costs. Their team is extremely responsive and can always turnaround requests, in any language, within our short deadlines. We can confidently rely on them to provide any deliverables without ever worrying about the accuracy of the subtitling.
