Video project – an unusual subtitling job

December 2022

To kick things off, we have some insight to share on an unusual subtitling order.
This project came from one of our Austrian customers – a global manufacturing company.

The client sent us six videos, including Adobe Premiere project files. This time there was not a single spoken word – so no subtitles – but only on-screen text to localise. The videos were quite short, with very little text. However, the customer wanted all six videos to be translated into 21 languages.

For EVS Translations, this meant that our translation technology team had to integrate the translations for all the languages into the six videos. In the end, we created 126 different videos. What is more, the customer then wanted a complete video per language and two InDesign files into which we were to include the translations from a video. In the end, we completed the project in just under five days without a hitch, all thanks to the smooth cooperation between the language and technology teams.

Video project – making a positive impact by changing the client’s expectations

January 2023

Just recently, one of our most loyal customers commissioned us to work on a video project. It was a complex one. We received 139 minutes of video footage of an employee meeting, full of highly specific financial terminology. The job was to transcribe everything in six working days, as well as to translate everything into English (20,000 words) and provide German and English subtitles.


The whole matter was complicated by the fact that the customer had nothing but negative experiences with service providers in this area and was extremely sceptical about the project being finished in line with its specifications and expectations. With a trial transcription and many planning meetings, the account manager responsible gained the trust of the client. It was not disappointed.

An interdepartmental team of 12 people completed the project to the full satisfaction of the client. Four transcribers transcribed the content, while a proofreader monitored compliance with the customer style guide and consistency. Then, three translators and a proofreader were involved in the actual translation, supported the whole time by our translation technology team. To keep to the tight deadline without losing quality, transcribers, translators and the technology team worked simultaneously. Some text was being translated while other content was still being transcribed.

 

Have you had bad experiences with vendors in the past? Are you hesitant to launch a long-overdue video translation?
