Easy to read, true to the scene

A subtitle is on screen for a few seconds. We keep each line short and natural, time it to the speech and check the whole file against the picture before it reaches you.

  • Translation and adaptation

    Our linguists translate the dialogue and condense it into short, natural lines that can be read in the time they’re on screen.

    • Dialogue translated and adapted
    • Idioms and humour reworked for the audience
    • From and to Arabic, English, French, Turkish and more
  • Timing to picture

    Each subtitle appears as its line is spoken and stays long enough to be read comfortably.

    • In and out times matched to the speech
    • A comfortable reading speed
  • Checked against the picture

    Before delivery, we play the subtitles against the video and check every line.

    • Every line reviewed on screen
    • Meaning, spelling and timing checked
    • Corrections made before delivery

Questions about Arabic subtitling

Which languages do you subtitle?

From and to Arabic, English, French, Turkish, Spanish, Portuguese and Japanese, with other languages on request.

Can you subtitle Arabic films and series into other languages?

Yes. We translate and subtitle Arabic productions into English, French and other languages, so they can reach viewers outside the Arab world.

Should we subtitle or dub?

Subtitles keep the original voices for viewers who like to hear them. Dubbing suits young children, who can’t read subtitles yet, and viewers who’d rather not read while they watch. We do both, and can advise on what suits your audience.

How do you check the subtitles?

Every line is timed to the picture, then played back against the video and checked for meaning, spelling and timing before delivery.

How do we get a quote?

Send us the running time, the languages and your delivery date, with a link to the video if you can. We reply within 24 hours with a quote.
