What is subtitling?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Subtitling is an audiovisual translation technique for the spoken content of videos<\/strong> that involves displaying written text<\/strong> on the screen<\/strong> to make the dialogue and sounds in the video content understandable in the original language or translated into another language.<\/p>\n

The service is particularly in demand for film subtitling, TV series subtitles, advertising, training, and corporate purposes<\/strong>, as it allows content to reach a broader and more diverse audience. It also promotes inclusivity<\/strong>, enabling deaf or hard-of-hearing people to enjoy video content as well.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

How we create subtitles<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Professional<\/strong> subtitling services<\/strong> do not rely on automated tools: subtitle quality depends on the translator\u2019s ability to adapt the text to the pace of the spoken content<\/em>, while respecting display<\/em> times, sentence segmentation<\/em>, and consistency<\/em> with the visuals. Automatic generation software produces systematic errors that can undermine the credibility of the content.<\/p>\n

At Dotwords, we work with native-speaking translators<\/strong> specialised in audiovisual translation<\/strong>, who use professional software to create, synchronise, and format subtitles.
The final file is available in the most common formats (.srt, .vtt, and others), suitable for any distribution platform.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Subtitling is a specialised discipline taught at Schools of Interpreting and Translation<\/strong>.
Our professional translators have specialised training<\/strong> in audiovisual translation<\/strong> and are familiar with the technical rules governing synchronisation, segmentation, and text reduction, as well as the conventions specific to each genre and market.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Subtitling<\/strong> is carried out by native-speaking translators with a solid knowledge of the target culture. This ensures that the adaptation<\/strong> is accurate not only linguistically, but also culturally and stylistically, meeting the expectations of the target audience.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Accessibility<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Subtitling for the deaf<\/strong> and hard of hearing<\/strong> must meet specific technical requirements, including subtitle length, punctuation, simplification, and specific conventions to make content fully accessible.
Dotwords collaborates with ENS Lombardia<\/strong> to ensure proper accessibility standards, such as accessible subtitles and LIS (Italian Sign Language)<\/strong>, and to promote a positive image of deafness, break down stereotypes and prejudices<\/strong>, and change the paradigm surrounding disability in general and deafness in particular.<\/p>\n

Accessible subtitling is highly useful not only for the deaf community, but also for people experiencing temporary hearing difficulties<\/strong> or hearing loss due to ageing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Interlingual vs. Intralingual Subtitling: What\u2019s the Difference?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Interlingual subtitling<\/strong> involves translation from one language into another: the original-language audio content is rendered in written form in the language of the target audience.<\/em> It is the most commonly requested type for the international distribution of films<\/strong>, series<\/strong>, documentaries<\/strong>, and corporate videos<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Intralingual subtitling<\/strong>, on the other hand, takes place in the same language as the original content<\/em>: this includes subtitles for people who are deaf and hard of hearing, as well as karaoke subtitles<\/strong>, educational subtitles<\/strong>, or transcriptions<\/strong> of content in noisy environments.<\/p>\n

Both types require specific technical expertise and a thorough review process, in which Dotwords has years of experience as an agency specialising in all types of translation.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
