Subtitling montage in 4 languages for Sony

Case Study

Sony’s production company asked Matinée Multilingual to subtitle a series of DAB product demos in 4 languages.

Matinée transcribed the English audio, and then produced the French, Italian, German and Spanish subtitles. Once approved, the subtitles were synced to the video and delivered as MP4 files.

A short history of the Tamil language

Tamil is a Dravidian language. It is spoken by around 52 million people mainly in India and Sri Lanka. There are also Tamil speakers in Vietnam, Canada, Singapore, the USA, Australia and the United Kingdom. Migrant communities have also settled in Germany, so you will hear Tamil there too.

Tamil is the official language of Sri Lanka and Singapore. It also has an official status in two other Indian areas. The language is also taught in schools in Malaysia, where they also teach Mandarin Chinese, Malay and English. In 2004 the government of India named it as the first ‘classical language.’

Inscriptions using Tamil date back to 500 BC and Tamil literature has existed since 300 BC. It was the first Indian language to be published, when in 1578, a Tamil prayer book was printed.

Reunion Island have settlers with Tamil origins, but the French who rule the island prohibited people from speaking Tamil. Although now it’s not the case and students on Reunion are showing an interest in learning Tamil again.

There are a number of Tamil dialects and also forms of speaking which range from a formal style, to a classic literary style and a colloquial style.

Matinée Subtitling Montage

This video montage features a variety of subtitling projects we have completed in a number of languages. It also shows four different ways in which the captions can be displayed on screen.

Choosing the best way to display your subtitles on-screen will depend on your video content, and how much information you need to show in the captions area. When you send us your video, the first thing we’ll do is review the content, and advise which subtitle style we think will work best for your production.

However, if you have another captions style you prefer, perhaps to match a template you have used before, then we’ll work with whatever you feel works best for your video.

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.
