What we localize
Three crafts, one seamless experience
Subtitles, voice, and script each demand a different skill. We bring all three under one roof.
Subtitling
Precision timing, global readability
Subtitling is an art of condensation. Every line captures the essence of the dialogue without cluttering the frame or distracting the viewer.
- Frame-accurate sync
- Aligned with on-screen action and shot changes.
- Delivery-ready formats
- Formatted to the specifications of streaming platforms, broadcasters, and theatrical release.
- Accessible subtitles
- Subtitles for Deaf and hard-of-hearing viewers, with speaker labels and sound cues.

Dubbing and voice
The sound of authentic emotion
Studio-quality audio that matches the tone, pitch, and energy of your original cast, so the performance never falls into the uncanny valley.
- Native talent
- Professional voice actors cast for local appeal and character fit.
- Lip-sync and phasing
- Dubbing that keeps the illusion of a native performance.
- Directed sessions
- A director keeps the emotional beat of every scene.
Script adaptation
Beyond translation: cultural reimagining
A direct translation of a joke or a cultural reference often falls flat. Our adaptation writers rewrite dialogue so it lands as hard in the target language as it did in the original.
- Cultural nuance
- Slang, idioms, and humor localized for maximum impact.
- Screenwriting craft
- Writers who understand dramatic structure and pacing.
- Character consistency
- Each character’s voice kept across seasons and franchises.

Meet one-on-one with a language services expert, at a time that suits you.
How do you handle comedy and highly stylized scripts?
We assign creative writers, not just translators. They analyze the intent of each scene and recreate the same comedic or emotional effect with cultural references that make sense to the target audience.
What is your quality control process for dubbing?
Every dubbing project goes through a three-tier review: technical audio quality, linguistic accuracy, and creative performance, so each localized voice matches the character and the original actor’s energy.
Can you work within our post-production timeline?
Yes. For day-and-date releases we localize in parallel with post-production, updating subtitles and scripts as the final cut is locked, so every market can launch together.
Do you localize metadata for streaming platforms?
Yes. We localize titles, synopses, episode descriptions, and keyword tags so your content is discoverable in each market’s search and recommendations.
Which subtitle formats do you deliver?
We deliver SRT, WebVTT, and other timed-text formats, built to the delivery specifications your platform, broadcaster, or distributor provides.
Do you provide subtitles for Deaf and hard-of-hearing viewers?
Yes. Accessible subtitles include speaker identification and descriptions of meaningful sounds and music, in English and other languages.
How do you cast voice actors?
We cast native-speaking professional voice actors for each character and language, share auditions for your approval, and direct every session for performance and timing.
