Someone has to take
subtitling seriously

Translation

Whether it’s the box office hit of the year or the TV series everyone’s talking about, we pride ourselves on top-quality translations, no matter what. Subtitles are the most-read form of writing in Sweden – we make sure they’re the best.

Accessibility

Film and TV are based on images and sound – but what about people who can’t hear or see? Without subtitling and audio description, many miss out on variety as well as the filmmaker’s message. We have the accessibility solutions that enable everyone to be included.

Post-production

Post-production with a focus on language. Translation of workprints, dialogue lists, voiceover recordings, audio mixing and application of graphics in different languages. Not to mention the finest subtitling in the business.

Who are we?

HERE’S WHAT WE CAN DO FOR YOU

FILM AND TELEVISION TRANSLATION

In our corner of the world, subtitles are a natural part of the film and television experience. That’s a big responsibility. The translation has to be just as creative and vibrant as the original. With the longest experience and broadest linguistic range in the business, we raise the standard. That’s something you can see every day on television and in cinemas in Sweden.

AUDIO DESCRIPTION

When words say more than a picture. Simultaneous description of what’s happening on screen allows visually impaired members of the audience to follow the action. Our award-winning audio descriptors bring images to life with their voices and words.

TRANSLATION FOR THE WEB

With the right language and tone, you’ll reach a much wider audience. We offer excellent translation and flexible, tailored subtitling for all types of moving images, whether for mobile or widescreen.

ADAPTATION AND POST-PRODUCTION

In the process between shooting and premiere, everything needs to fall into place: subtitling, dialogue lists, sound mixing. We specialise in every linguistic aspect of the process. We rough-subtitle daily rushes, produce dialogue lists, do audio mixes and subtitle DCPs and all types of video material.

SAME-LANGUAGE SUBTITLING

New Swedish cinematic releases, TV series, informational films or daily news broadcasts. Pre-recorded or live. Same-language subtitling means that the subtitles are in the same language as the audio – ensuring that the message reaches everyone.

VOICEOVER RECORDING

An elegant and effective way of making a new language version of a film or programme is to add a voiceover in the desired language. We handle the whole process from translation to recording and mixing in our own studio.
