Frequently Asked Questions

Dubbing or re-recording, is a post-production process used in filmmaking and video production in which additional language recordings are “mixed” with original production sound to create the finished soundtrack. So a movie shot in English has the English dialogue replaced with actors speaking in other languages.

There are three different kinds of dubbing:

• Lip Sync– The original source audio is replaced with another language, that matches with the speaker’s mouth movement. Word choice is extremely important in this case as the adaptor must find words that fit with the movements of the actors mouth while maintaining the meaning of the original script. As the most precise of the three styles resulting in the most natural effect for the viewer, Lip Sync is widely used for commercials, kid’s videos and movies and animations.
• Voice over - Voiceover dubbing is used to add narration over the original content, regardless of the speaker’s mouth movement. Voiceover is used predominantly for reality/lifestyle and unscripted content, documentaries, corporate and instructional videos. This type of dubbing may also be mixed so that the original audio can still be heard underneath the newly recorded audio
• Narration – Voice actor is reading text, converting it in audio. This is used predominantly for audio books, E-learning, on-line trainings and editorial videos.

Website localization process consists from following steps:

• Extracting the text for localization and packaging the files to be sent to a translator.

• Translation – Although translation software tools are used for website localization, machine translation alone is not sufficient. It is important to work with a native speaker with subject matter knowledge who is also a trained linguist. Doing so will help ensure that your website content is culturally adapted.

• Multilingual SEO – Identifying target keywords in a foreign language is not as simple as using Google translate or just the Google keyword tool. You need a native speaker who understands how your audience searches.

• Localization testing – Before launching a localized website, it should be tested for both functionality and linguistic accuracy. The tester will look for potential problems such as text not fitting into menus, correct formats and proper use of the language in context.

• Voice over and subtitling for video assets – Video is most popular and effective marketing tool all over the world. Adapting any text displayed on the screen through subtitles on target language will make them accessible for your target audience. Also if your videos include spoken language, voice over enhances the user’s experience and increase your chances that they will stay engaged.
