About Multimedia Translation
Multimedia translation helps organisations adapt audio-visual content for global audiences. We translate scripts, interviews, training videos, marketing clips, animations, documentaries and internal communications. Depending on your needs, we can provide subtitle files, voiceover-ready scripts or fully formatted translations matching time codes. This service involves listening carefully to spoken content, understanding context and adapting style for natural reading or speaking in the target language. For subtitles, we keep lines concise and readable, respecting timing and character limits. For voiceover scripts, we adapt sentence structures so they match the pacing of the original visuals. When required, we translate any on-screen text as well. Multimedia translation is widely used in corporate training, education, marketing, media production and online learning. By transforming your content into multilingual formats, you can reach global audiences more effectively and improve engagement with international learners and customers.

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 formats do you accept?
- Can you deliver time-coded scripts?
- Do you integrate with video teams?
- 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?
