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.

The Impact of Traditional Chinese Subtitles on Your Content
Incorporating Traditional Chinese subtitles into your content boosts audience reach, accessibility, and market success. Key advantages include:
Enhanced Accessibility: Ensuring content is inclusive for Traditional Chinese speakers, including those with hearing impairments and language learners. Subtitles make it easier for viewers to follow along without relying on audio.
Greater Audience Retention: Subtitles help maintain viewer engagement and clarify complex topics, particularly in fast-paced or technical content. This is especially beneficial for financial, medical, and legal content that requires precise communication.
Improved Search Visibility: Subtitled videos perform better on Bing, Yahoo Taiwan, and local search engines, increasing content discoverability and SEO rankings for video content.
Market Growth Opportunities: Subtitles facilitate entry into lucrative Traditional Chinese-speaking markets, strengthening your brand presence in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau. This opens doors for cross-border expansion and collaboration.
Higher Social Media Performance: Subtitles drive better engagement, views, and shares, especially on platforms where silent viewing is common, such as WeChat and TikTok Taiwan. Social media algorithms favour content with subtitles due to increased watch time.
With subtitles tailored for cultural relevance and readability, your content can achieve maximum impact and connection with Traditional Chinese-speaking viewers.

Expertise & Technology in Traditional Chinese Subtitling
At GoLocalise, we blend cultural expertise with advanced subtitling technology to deliver high-quality Traditional Chinese subtitles. The intricate character structure, classical expressions, and regional linguistic differences present unique challenges that require expert handling. We carefully adjust character spacing and line breaks to ensure readability across different screen sizes, maintaining a smooth viewing experience. Our process includes:
Advanced Subtitling Software: High-end tools to ensure perfect timecoding, synchronisation, and layout, while also handling text overlays and on-screen graphics.
Experienced Native Linguists: Skilled subtitlers fluent in Traditional Chinese variants, ensuring natural and culturally appropriate translations. Each linguist is familiar with the differences between Hong Kong and Taiwan’s usage.
Meticulous Quality Checks: A comprehensive review process to guarantee accuracy, legibility, and stylistic consistency. We ensure that the right terminology is used depending on the subject matter and target audience.
We also adapt subtitles for various platforms, including Netflix, KKTV, and ViuTV, ensuring seamless integration and optimisation for your target audience. Our adaptive workflow ensures that each project is formatted correctly for specific distribution platforms.
Cultural Adaptation in Traditional Chinese Subtitling
Direct translation isn’t enough—localisation ensures your subtitles truly connect with native audiences. Traditional Chinese readers expect sophisticated language, region-specific phrasing, and nuanced expressions that match their viewing habits. Subtitles should reflect the preferences of each market while maintaining linguistic elegance. Our localisation approach includes:
Cultural Relevance: Adjusting idioms, slang, and humour to align with Taiwanese, Hong Kong, and Macau audiences. We ensure that expressions commonly used in Hong Kong do not feel out of place in Taiwan.
Stylistic Adaptation: Refining formal, semi-formal, or casual tones, depending on content type and audience. Business content may require a more polished tone, while entertainment content allows for greater flexibility.
Region-Specific Refinements: Aligning language with local preferences, while maintaining Traditional Chinese script integrity. Certain terms used in Hong Kong may differ from those used in Taiwan, and we ensure accuracy for each region.
By prioritising localisation, we ensure your subtitles are not only understood but truly resonate with Traditional Chinese-speaking viewers.
