The Subtitling Process

The subtitling process is complicated and requires experience and expertise. We at International Lingua Institute have developed a fine process that ensures that you have the best results. Firstly we request the best quality of your video available, usually in the biggest and best format, generally in the form of a digitized tape. Our expert editors then go through the video multiple times and write down an accurate word for word transcription for the video. Then the editor formats the text and tweaks it according to the target market needs and times the text to fit with the audio and video. Then preliminary reviews are conducted. Firstly an editor reviews it for basic accuracy and correct text and then a senior editor reviews it for the same. Then that transcription is sent to the translation team with full needs detailed, from the text type, font and colour to the number of lines along with a contextual background and low resolution copy of the video and the translation process is then conducted. This is then thoroughly scanned and reviewed for errors, for culturally relevant idioms for proper message communication by our quality control team. Then the translation is properly placed and edited according to the time of the video by the team. This is then thoroughly checked and reviewed and finally the file output is generated in the format desired by the client. This exhaustive process ensures quality and accuracy. This is why International Lingua Institute is the best subtitling company.
