The Subtitling Process In A Nutshell
Send us your video file in any format. We’ll ensure it’s compatible with our subtitling software. If you’re unsure about the format, feel free to double-check with us.
We’ll create an English subtitle template, which is crucial if the subtitles will be translated into multiple languages.
We’ll send the English template to our professional linguists, who will translate it into the requested languages with precision.
Once translated, we’ll import the subtitles into our software. We’ll perform quality checks to ensure proper timing, reading speeds, and line lengths.
We’ll share the subtitles with you for review. Let us know if any changes are needed, and we’ll make adjustments while adhering to technical requirements.
After final approval, we’ll burn in the subtitles (if requested) and deliver the completed video through your preferred file-transfer method.

Expert Subtitling for Simplified Chinese: Precision & Technology

Native-Speaking Linguists: Expert subtitlers who are fluent in Simplified Chinese and well-versed in dialectal preferences, ensuring culturally relevant translations.

The Key to Effective Simplified Chinese Subtitles
Unlike direct translation, localisation ensures that subtitles resonate naturally with native audiences. Simplified Chinese readers expect content that reflects local linguistic styles, contemporary expressions, and cultural expectations.
Key localisation strategies include:
Cultural Adaptation: Modifying idiomatic phrases, humour, and culturally specific references to appeal to audiences in Mainland China, Singapore, and Malaysia.
Tone and Style Adjustments: Crafting subtitles that match formal business settings, entertainment media, or informal social content, depending on the audience.
Regional Nuances: Ensuring consistency with Simplified Chinese standards while adapting for slight variations in different Mandarin-speaking regions.
By prioritising localisation, we enhance viewer experience, ensuring your content feels natural, engaging, and accessible to native audiences.
