Introduction of multimedia localization

A high volume of materials translated by SPEED are in the format of multimedia instead of simple texts, such as audio, DVD, Flash and etc,  these materials could be short video of company profiles, interviews, instructional videos, product demos, audio books, ads, TV programs, etc. This kind of translation work is called multimedia localization. After dictation and translation of scripts including subtitles, captions and flash contents by our translators, the translated scripts are submitted to our clients for approval. After this step, our professionals will do subtitling,  flash making, dubbing, post production of synthesis of language and music, etc.

Multimedia applications involve a broad range of fields, such as media, business, engineering, medicine, advertising, art, education, entertainment, scientific research, etc. The contents can be corporate videos, training videos, conference audios, films, TV dramas, VCD, DVD, video tapes, master tapes as well as television dialogues, interviews and other audios or videos.
