translations

Posted by Evan Meades on May 22, 2005 at 11:44 pm

Hi, I have a project that needs to be translated into Chinese (Mandarin), South Korean and Japanese. Here in Australia we seem to have only one source for getting it done, SBS and they are pretty expensive. So, I’m looking for a professional translation service, specifically a voice over (10 mins) and possibly a few sub titles, all for a DVD.

Anyone suggest some links?

Thanks

Cheers!

Hi Evan

Yeah they are a little expensive, but let me say we have used them before, and they do outstanding work. Worth every cent. Not only do they have professional processes and plenty of resources to set up projects quickly and efficiently, they also do some pretty rigourous QA on the work they do.

Be careful with your translator — it is often very difficult (actually, if you think about it, impossible!) for you to verify whether they have done a good job.

And make sure you understand your workflow with the translating service
eg. how are they going to provide text for you for subtitles?
will you be able to simply cut and paste from one application to another.

Hope this helps, and good luck!

Regards
Peter
