About Audio Video Translation
Audio and video translation combines several skills: understanding spoken language, capturing meaning in writing and adapting content for the target audience. We support clients who need interviews, training modules, promotional clips, documentaries or explainer videos translated into another language. Depending on your project, we can deliver translated scripts, subtitle files or voiceover ready text. The first step is usually transcription in the original language, followed by translation into the target language. For subtitles, we respect reading speed and line length so that viewers can follow comfortably. For voiceover scripts, we adapt sentences so that they sound natural when spoken and fit the timing of the visuals. We can also work with any on screen text that needs to be translated, such as titles, lower thirds or callouts. Audio and video translation is widely used in e learning, marketing, internal communications, research and media production. By turning spoken content into accurate translations, you make your material accessible to international teams, customers and partners. Our team helps you choose the best format for your goals, whether that is a simple translated transcript or a complete subtitle set for global distribution.

Questions to ask when planning this service
Before you request a quote, it helps to think about a few practical questions. You can share your answers with us or use them to clarify things with your lawyer, consultant or team.
- Which format should we send video or audio?
- Can you deliver subtitle files (for example, SRT)?
- Do you also provide voiceover artists or only text scripts?
- Which exact languages and countries are involved?
- Are there phases – for example, some documents needed earlier than others?
- Who will review the translation on your side before submission or publication?
