Synchronization

In this step, we will match scenes with segments of dialogues or narration. Length of subtitles are checked and space and time requirements are met.

Translation

A translator experienced in audiovisual translation is given the text to translate. Though he is not the last authority when it comes to the final product, our subtitlers are well aware that subtitles have a distinct nature and have to be tackledwith a different approach.

Optimization

One difficulty of subtitling is the co-existence of the source and the target in the same frame. You can’t ignore that audience will compare both the spoken and the written messages.
