Quality Control for Video Localization, Subtitling, and Dubbing Production in English, Chinese, Korean, French, Italian, and More
“Should we choose subtitles or dubbing?” “I need to deliver the video to my client on DVD, but this is my first time and I’m not sure what to do.” “Can you translate just the text for the subtitle graphics?” Whether you are new to video production or an experienced professional, Brainwoods will listen carefully, confirm your objectives, and recommend the most suitable production workflow for your project.
Before work begins, we establish a reliable schedule that allows your feedback on draft mixes and preliminary deliverables to be incorporated in full. The Brainwoods video localization team believes that responding promptly to your questions and feedback is also an essential part of a smooth, stress-free production process.
How can unclear details not evident from the footage or script be verified and communicated to audiences from different cultural backgrounds? Excellent video localization requires the meticulous research we call “fact-checking.” To avoid ambiguity and mistranslation, we investigate specialist subject matter, cultural context, and historical accuracy. Review by native speakers also helps us convey regional characteristics, historical context, and other cultural differences appropriately.
We carefully establish the language and style conventions appropriate to the production’s purpose and target audience, then have multiple reviewers check the work. This process helps prevent the kinds of oversights that can occur when a translation is handled by a single translator.
