Today people prefer video over text, which is why companies are turning increasingly to translated subtitles to communicate efficiently with their global stakeholders. From marketing videos to e-learning courses, subtitling is the most accurate translation solution for all your audio-visual media.
Multilingual Subtitles and Captions are not the same. With captions, text is streamed live. Subtitling embeds text seamlessly in your multimedia file, which is then made available on-demand.
What are Multilingual Subtitles?
- A multilingual subtitle is text that is often transcribed from existing audio or video (or developed as new content) and formatted with a timestamped event sequence.
- For foreign language subtitles, the transcribed text is then translated expertly for subtitling purposes, which means making approved changes to the text length per frame without altering the meaning of the original content.
- The text files for various languages are then dropped or embedded in the desired media to be displayed on the user’s interface, for example at the bottom of the screen of a video presentation.

When are Subtitles Used?
1
Subtitles are a great substitute for traditional documentation which is being converted to digital video and media content to increase user participation and engagement.
2
Subtitled audio-visual media offers greater accessibility and inclusion to the hard-of-hearing and to foreign language speakers so they can enjoy the same user experience.
3
Professional subtitles are ideal for marketing materials, HR policy manuals and training workshops in video format, designed to convey a superior level of excellence and quality to your audience.
4
For high-end media productions including prerecorded webinars for thousands of viewers, movies, documentaries and commercials, multilingual subtitling provides the necessary level of rigorous localization to guarantee success.
5
Subtitles act as a visual aid complement for non-native language participants who may pause the subtitled video in a particular segment for better understanding of the content in their native tongue.
6
Subtitles fully complement interpretation overlay allowing participants to both hear and read the content in their language at the same time.
7
Subtitles are required for studio-grade multilingual voiceovers performed by professional actors.
Live Captions as Edited Subtitles
When clients request live captioning services for an event, in any language, the transcripts can be edited and turned into flawless subtitles. The subtitles can then be dropped into the video of the event and posted on-demand for unlimited views.
In the same way, our clients may request Remote Simultaneous Interpretation for a live event. The interpretation recording can then be overlaid or embedded into a video of the event for on-demand viewing.
Take advantage of our comprehensive suite of multilingual solutions to maximize your user’s communication experience in any language, in both live and on-demand settings.
