Script localization and adaptation for multimedia translation

Script translation is one of our specialties. If you or your client does not wish to translate, just relax, and place script in the hands of our world class multimedia translators. Each multimedia translator has a PhD or Masters in Translation from overseas universities, is accredited by the U.S. State Department or American Translators Association, and/or decades of experience in multimedia translation. Specialties include all ranges of business: technology, technical, finance, construction, real estate, food stuffs, and corporate communications.

A multimedia script translation is 15% longer than the original script, and adaptation is required. There are many types of adaptation from which to choose:

• Adaptation to the timing of the original production to drop into your project
• Adaptation to the "spoken word" versus the "written word"
• Adaptation to dialect, i.e. adapting a U.S. script for U.K., or adapting Mexican Spanish for Puerto Rico
• Adaptation to assure that the translated talent script coincides with the actions on screen and with specific visuals
• Adaptation for lip sync, adapting the translation for the lip movements of the on-screen speakers for lip sync dialog replacement
• Adaptation to culture, to social standards and proper mode of address for the multimedia translation

Screen graphics translation

For your DVD, presentation or multimedia translation, you may also need on-screen text translations for copy-paste, or Photoshop or Fireworks files, plus accompanying documents or booklet translation. If @International Services translates, we work in harmony with you and/or your client to assure technical and medical terminology that is customized to your client's specific requirements and lingo. And because there are up to 13 levels of politeness in some languages, our multimedia translator will take extra care is taken to ascertain the proper mode of address for your target audience.

Script adaptation

All of the adaptation types for multimedia translation become more and more important the farther the target language is from your language. Chinese, Japanese or Korean languages, for example, are "backwards" to English, and thus often not coincide with your graphics or on-screen actions without proper adaptation. Asian and Middle Eastern languages especially have differing "modes of address", certain colors have positive-negative meaning, varying music preferences, and other.
