American Foundation for Suicide Prevention

Chinese Simplified

As said by the Oscar-winning director of Parasite, Bong Joon-ho, in 2020: “Once you overcome the one-inch-tall barrier of subtitles, you will be introduced to so many more amazing films.” Subtitles are incredibly important for videos to be accessible to a greater number of people.

And similarly, as our client We Are Caravan (an award-winning creative production company) loves good stories, we here at GoLocalise love good subtitles. That’s exactly why they chose us as a committed Chinese subtitling agency. The material for this project is a film commissioned by the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention which supports hundreds of large and small Survivor Day events around the world, during which people whose lives have been impacted by suicide come together to build connections, understanding and hope through their shared experiences.

The film “Pathways: Hope After Suicide Loss” needed to be subtitled in multiple languages including Chinese, and we thus immediately reached out to our native Chinese speaking linguists to check their availability. As we know, the Chinese language is very different from Romance languages such as French and Italian, so subtitling standards like reading speed, characters per line, and font size are also very different. It’s really tough to maintain the information without sacrificing the audience’s viewing experience. Luckily, our linguists are professionals with many years of experience, who know about spotting, pay close attention to detail, and produce high-standard subtitles within technical restrictions. Plus our in-house project managers also always run our regular technical checks on all projects we deliver and, with no exception, our clients are always very satisfied with the final result.

Good videos should be able to reach more audiences and of course they are worth being presented with excellence.

In the example provided, you can see the final product of the Chinese subtitled video that we worked on for this project.

What our happy customers say

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.

We have used GoLocalise on a regular basis for projects in a number of languages. The service we receive is great. The team is always friendly and professional. The voiceovers we receive are of a very high quality and the turnaround is extremely quick. We are very happy to recommend GoLocalise to other businesses.

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.
