Welsh subtitling for The Electoral Commission
Case Study
The Electoral Commission is an independent body set up by the UK Parliament. They regulate election finance and also set standards for well-run elections. They support healthy democracies based on trust, participation and no undue influence.
They created an informative video encouraging and reminding the Welsh public how to and when to vote in the National Assembly for Wales and Police and Crime Commissioners elections. The video involved a Welsh signer educating the deaf and/or hard of hearing audience about the elections.
The Electoral Commission came to us seeking Welsh subtitles to add a further communication channel in their video. We transcribed the English speech, translated to Welsh and condensed the translation to fit within the screen limits as subtitles. Finally we burnt-in the subtitles.

A short history of the Welsh language
Welsh is a Celtic Language which is spoken in Wales, which is part of the United Kingdom. It is also spoken in a Welsh colony in Patagonia, Argentina. Wales was formed by the conquest of the Saxons, who pushed the welsh from their lands into the small corner of the United Kingdom they have today. Wales then became a nation of Kingdoms ruled by Welsh royalty.
The language has been around since about 500 AD and in the 16th century almost 100% of the population could speak Welsh. By 1911 this had fallen to around 43% of Welsh people who were able to speak their native language. Since then it has remained at a steady rate and over 500,000 people speak Welsh today.
Early Welsh literature dates back from the 6th century. Poetic works can be traced from around the 6th century until the 1100s and they were written in Welsh. One of the most famous literary figures is King Arthur and the Knights of the round table, together with the powerful magician, Merlin.
A Welsh greeting is amongst the recordings made on the Voyager’s Golden Records, which are aboard the Voyager spacecraft, launched in 1977. The records portray life on earth and are meant for any extra- terrestrials, or other humans that might come across the space craft.

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.
