Why media brands need specialized translation
Media localization is not just word‑for‑word translation. It balances creative intent, cultural references, and technical constraints—like subtitle line limits and frame‑accurate timing. One mistranslated joke, misplaced cue, or broken line break can undercut audience immersion, viewer retention, and platform compliance.
Regulatory and accessibility compliance is critical. In the United States, FCC and ADA guidelines require accurate, comprehensive closed captions for broadcast and streaming. Many platforms follow specific style guides (e.g., Netflix Timed Text, IMSC, EBU‑TT). We ensure subtitles, captions, and on‑screen text meet required standards for distribution and accessibility.
Global market expansion also hinges on discoverability. Localized metadata—titles, synopses, and keywords—directly impacts search ranking, recommendations, and click‑through rate on OTT platforms. Each territory may prefer different naming conventions and tones; we adapt your metadata to boost engagement without diluting brand identity.
Media companies manage complex rights, co‑productions, and distribution agreements across borders. Certified translations for contracts, releases, and permits help keep legal teams, authorities, and partners aligned. Our certified translations are accepted worldwide, including by US authorities when productions involve visas, permits, or government filings.
Specialized media linguists, compliance‑ready workflows
Our translators are media specialists—subtitlers, dialogue adapters, and broadcast‑savvy linguists with deep genre expertise. We maintain dedicated terminology databases and show‑specific style guides to preserve tone, character voice, and continuity across episodes and seasons.
We adhere to platform and regulatory requirements: FCC/ADA for captions, IMSC/TTML/SRT/VTT formats, SDH best practices, and Netflix/Amazon/Disney+ style standards. For legal and business documents, we deliver ISO‑aligned processes and certified translations that are globally recognized, supporting production insurance, co‑production agreements, and distribution deals.
Quality is layered: bilingual review, native‑language editing, technical QC, and format validation. Turnarounds are optimized for release schedules—short‑form assets in 24–48 hours, trailers within 2–3 days, and series handled on rolling episode timelines. Standard translation from $0.06 per word; certified from $32.90 per page. Volume discounts and enterprise SLAs available.
