ARABIC SUBTITLING

There can be major differences in vocabulary, speech , pronunciation and intonation when dealing with different languages/dialects. To effectively communicate with people who speak other languages/dialects, it is necessary to understand not only what they speak, but also the significance of certain people, places, things or customs as understood by them. We at USA Studios take these types of considerations very seriously. We have translators anchored in and around a number of Arabic-speaking countries who know the diverse history of the language and the people who speak it.
 

Below are the Arabic dialects that we support and where they are primarily used:
EGYPTIAN ARABIC - Egypt
LEVANTINE ARABIC - eastern border of the Mediterranean Sea
SUDANESE ARABIC - Sudan
MESOPOTAMIAN - Iraq, Syria, Iran and Turkey
PENINSULAR ARABIC - Arabian Peninsula (Saudi Arabia, Yemen, United Arab Emirates)
MAGHREBI ARABIC - Algeria and Morocco

While there are notable distinctions between the Arabic dialects of certain regions, such as the Middle East, these differences are sometimes small enough to where they do not prevent the different groups of Arabs who speak them from understanding one another. However, there are significant differences in vocabulary, speech, pronunciation and intonation when dealing with different dialects which can make localization a delicate process.

After reviewing your file, we will assign your project to the best-qualified subtitle translator with the relevant expertise needed to translate your content.

The translator will create a time-coded transcript, which will serve as a master document/reference that can be used for translations to other languages of your choice should you need them. This is done for both English to Arabic and Arabic to English translations. Having a transcript is a major convenience for this very purpose.

The transcript styles most commonly used are either Verbatim (word-for-word) or Readable (lightly edited).

Once the transcript is prepared, our expert translators will localize your content into the required Arabic language for your specific needs and target audience(s).
In addition to localizing the subtitles or closed captions, USA Studios can also localize any graphics or on-screen text that comes with your content either from English to Arabic or from Arabic to English.

When the translation is finished, the subtitles will then be synchronized to the audio/video, undergoing multiple quality control checks to ensure accurate timing between the text and audio as well as optimal levels of overall quality of your project.

Depending on the language/dialect and the font style used, the length of the translated text and subtitles may vary from the master script. However, rest assured that our subtitle translators take the necessary steps to ensure that your content is not only properly localized, but fits within the allotted timeframe outlined by the time codes.
