In the film industry, film scripts are some of the most important, if not the most important keys to the success of any audiovisual product. For this reason, when translation is necessary, it must be accurate and match the original message as closely as possible. All this, without missing the information and non-verbal cues that any script of this type entails.
When adapting dialogue for dubbing or creating subtitles, accuracy and creativity are two essential characteristics for ensuring that the series or film doesn’t lose its original character. That’s why it’s essential to have a team of experts who can translate such pieces.
What is script translation?
Script translation services can be provided for dubbing or adding subtitles to an audiovisual piece. This facilitates access to films and series in different languages. To do so, the original dialogue is transcribed and adapted to the target language, ensuring that the intent and nuances of the original text are conveyed.
For subtitles, dialogue transcription and translation are performed in the same way while taking into account space and time constraints to ensure comfortable reading for viewers. In this sense, the translator can use techniques such as reducing the text so the subtitles fit and, more importantly, cultural adaptation: the specialist must consider cultural and linguistic differences in order to guarantee an understandable translation for the audiences in the target country.

Film script translation services: special characteristics
Translation for dubbing goes far beyond converting text from one language to another. It requires cultural sensitivity, linguistic accuracy, and creativity to achieve a seamless and natural experience for viewers. A literal translation may preserve the content, but it doesn’t always fit the cultural context of the target audience. Therefore, it is often necessary to opt for a more flexible version that maintains the spirit of the message while adapting to the linguistic conventions of the country the dubbing is intended for.
Jokes, puns, and cultural references are one of the most challenging aspects of translation for dubbing. It’s not sufficient to translate a joke literally; it must be reinvented in such a way that it retains its comic effect in another language. This creative task is essential in order to not compromise the quality and naturalness of the adapted script.
