Bring your videos to an international audience in a simple, cost-effective way with Tlc Bonjour’ voice-over translation services, ideal for documentaries, news broadcasts, training videos and e-learning materials. What Are Voice-Over Translations? In contrast to dubbing, which employs an entire cast of voice-over artists to replace each filmed speaker’s dialogue in a way that matches their mouth movements, voice-over translation utilises one narrator to create an additional audio track which translates all a video’s audio — or a simplified version. While major movie releases will often use dubbing, smaller-scale videos are far more suited to voice-over translations. With all the original audio present in the background, the voice-over is free to communicate exactly what is going on to the viewers, even if their words do not match up with a certain speaker’s appearance or screen-time. Condensing all the language and dialogue of a video into a single audio track is a complex process which only the best linguists and voice-over artists can carry out. The team at Global Voices has years of experience, making them the perfect translators to handle voice-over translation for your videos, in any language you need.

Though dubbing might be the more well-known approach, voice-over translation works particularly well with videos that relay information. Corporate induction or training videos in particular can benefit from voice-over translation services, as can e-learning videos for customers. Narrative-based videos can still use voice-over translation effectively, with broadcast news reports and documentaries often undergoing the voice-over treatment. When approximating the vocal emotional expression and lip movements of a speaker is less important — such as in an educational video where the only speaker is an instructor, or in a news report where the substance of a subject’s interview is more pertinent than their speaking style — voice-over translation is more than enough to translate your video effectively.

Tlc Bonjour offers a comprehensive subtitle translation service, helping wider audiences understand your video content whilst staying true to its original tone and feel. What Is Subtitle Translation? Subtitles are part of our everyday lives. Everything from Hollywood movies and TV shows to instructional videos and YouTube clips make use of subtitles, opening their contents up to multilingual and international audiences. Subtitled lines of dialogue can only be a certain length or they will cover the image. They also need to move at a fairly rapid pace to keep up with the speed of the speaker. Because of this, subtitle translation requires the expertise of professional subtitlers and linguists. Conveying an oral message in text form with accuracy, while taking into account timing and character limitations, is a very demanding task. This is particularly true when subtitles are translated into languages that tend to expand, like German or Spanish. Tlc Bonjour has worked on translating subtitles for many clients on both a short term and long term basis. We have a team of highly-skilled accredited translators who can provide outstanding results on any subtitle translation project. All we need from you is video footage, and using our software, skills and expertise, we can deliver a fully-subtitled video in a format that suits you.
