Malaysian subtitles for Cape plc

Case Study

Matinée Multilingual were selected by Cape Plc to provide Bahasa Malaysia subtitling services for a series of 5 promo videos talking about the ‘integrity and values’ which are very important to Cape Plc’s business.

The videos totalled just under 8 minutes, and the client selected style option 2 for the Bahasa Malaysia subtitles. We were also asked to move the subtitle layer whenever captions appeared on-screen, so the subtitles didn’t obscure them – as you can see in this example.

Our process was as follows: First we transcribed the English audio and on-screen text. After approval, we produced the subtitling translations in Bahasa Malaysia, condensing the Bahasa Malaysia translation where necessary to fit in the screen safe area. Finally we synced and burnt-in the Bahasa Malaysia subtitles and delivered as an MP4 file.

Friendly and efficient service

The speed of response, and friendly, efficient service from all staff was quite exceptional. Matinee particularly stands out by putting the customer’s needs first, even when the job is relatively small and a bit of a technical challenge. I would strongly recommend Matinee for any subtitling work.
