Subtitles that follow the meaning and rhythm of your video
Translate dialogue, training videos and audiovisual content with attention to timing, reading flow and the intended audience.
Define the audiovisual deliverable
A translated transcript, timed subtitle file and subtitled video are different deliverables. Send a sample and explain how the content will be published or used.
Specify whether transcription, timing, translation, subtitle review or video rendering is required. Each step should be included in the project scope rather than assumed.
Language in context
Dialogue depends on the speaker, situation and surrounding images. Product terminology and names should match supporting documents and any existing marketing material.
Provide a script or transcript where available, together with pronunciation notes and approved terminology. Unclear audio may require clarification or a better source.
Timing and readability
Subtitles need to be readable while the viewer follows the picture. Line length, segmentation and display time should be agreed for the target platform and audience.
Some content cannot be transferred word for word within a subtitle’s space. The translation should retain the message while using concise phrasing appropriate to the available reading time.
Files and final review
Tell us the subtitle format and encoding your workflow requires. If subtitles will be embedded into a video, provide the final picture version and any style specifications.
Review names, technical terms and timing against the agreed video version. Later edits to the picture or script may require the subtitle file to be updated.
What to include in your enquiry
Send the complete source or a representative sample, the source and target languages, and the intended use. Identify the current file versions and any passages that are outside the translation scope.
Add your deadline, preferred delivery format and approved reference material. If the work involves layout, confirmation, testing or another additional task, state it explicitly so the quotation covers the required output.
Questions before you begin
Can you deliver only an SRT subtitle file?
Yes, if that is the agreed deliverable. Confirm whether timing already exists or needs to be created, and provide the final video version to keep the subtitles aligned.
How is the price calculated?
The quote depends on the language pair, source volume, specialist subject, file quality, formatting and requested delivery. Send the actual material so these factors can be assessed.
Can I request a specific deadline?
Yes. State when you need the translation and share the complete source. Availability and delivery timing are confirmed after reviewing the scope; an enquiry alone does not confirm a booking.
How should I share confidential documents?
Discuss confidentiality, access and any required agreement with the team before sending the complete sensitive material. A non-sensitive sample can help begin the scope discussion.
Discuss your requirements with Tri Viet
Send your source files or describe the work, language pair and deadline. We will review the scope before confirming the quotation and delivery arrangements.
