Before You Order
Subtitle translation in detail
A closer look at the process, deliverables, source materials, and practical details before you order.Subtitle Translation for Independent Films and Documentaries
We translate existing English subtitles into Japanese, Italian, or Russian for narrative films, documentaries, festival screenings, and digital distribution. Translation includes cultural and contextual adaptation so dialogue feels natural rather than mechanically converted word for word.
Each project includes preservation of subtitle timing and formatting, delivery in SRT format, one revision round, and standard delivery within 5 to 10 business days after all required files are received.
SRT Localisation for Streaming, Festivals, and Theatrical Release
The translated file retains the original subtitle numbering and timecodes while the text is adapted for readability in the selected language. This supports common streaming, festival, theatrical, and digital distribution workflows without requiring the subtitle track to be rebuilt from the beginning.
Each translated file is prepared as a clean, distribution-ready SRT while preserving the source file's timing structure and formatting.
Important: An Existing English SRT File Is Required
This translation service begins with a completed English SRT file. Please provide the English subtitle file together with an accessible video reference so the translator can verify context, speaker intent, names, terminology, and visual information.
If you do not have a completed English SRT, purchase our English Subtitle & SRT Creation service before ordering translation.
