TranslateYourVideo Experience:

TranslateYourVideo supports management of international multimedia projects - eases script translation, facilitates review cycles, closes communication gaps with studios, increases casting success, enables you to supervise foreign recordings - all while improving your service to clients and without adding to your workload.

Use TranslateYourVideo in the way that is most convenient for you.

 

Preparing

  • If your video is available as digital movie, or as an audio file, click to upload. It will be prepared automatically for the web.
  • Click to import your final video script into TranslateYourVideo. Or, transcribe your final script using the Transcription Center. The script will display in a manner that is best for translation, side by side with the video and the original language.
  • Click to import your client's glossary if you have one. The glossary feature will help maintain consistency.
  • If you need resources, select a qualified, professional translator from the Directory of Translators, or choose a fine global voice from the Global Audition Center, guaranteed for accent and dialect.

 

Translating

  • Translators can log in from anywhere in the world with a password. You can use your own staff, your favorite translator, or click to request a professional with years of experience in your field from the Directory of Translators.
  • Translators can only see their assigned project, in their own language. They will translate the script, and any on-screen graphic text, all right online. Or, export an MS Word file or Excel to be translated then re-imported.
  • If you have a "community video," and want to allow "wiki-style" translation, invite your members to translate, like a password controlled Wikipedia.

 

Adapting the script

One of the important elements to translation is adapting to the length of the original video, so that the foreign voice recording will match the timing of the original guidetrack. TranslateYourVideo has a feature that alerts the translator when the translation is too long, so that he/she can adapt it to fit. This can be done without losing the message of your video, and instructions to the translator are included in the online software.

 

Reviewing

Review is an excellent adjunct to translation, and improves your chances of success. You can have your own in-house personnel review the translation online, or your client may have a reviewer. If you need either a translator or a reviewer, select a professional from the Directory of Translators, who will be pleased to assist you.

 

Recording

Use your own talent, or select a fine pro talent from the Directory of Voice Talents guaranteed for accent and dialect. If you and/or your client would like to monitor and participate in the recording session as it occurs, you can do so via the web, anywhere in the world, using the Global Talk Center. No software installation as with Skype, no high international ISDN charges, no bridges. Just go to a web page.

 

Receiving Audio Files

When the recording is finished, and edited, it can be uploaded to your private TranslateYourVideo storage area. A web-compatible conversion of the audio file will be automatically created so that a linguist or your client can review the recording before being installed in your project software.

 

Finishing your project

Now that the audio files have arrived and the translation is available, and verified, you do your work as you always do - marry the sound and graphic screen text to the video, mix, compress. To finish, click to upload to TranslateYourVideo for final quality assurance and verification before release. Linguists, translators and clients can view the final video online to give final approval.

 

Adding subtitles

Your video can also be swiftly transferred to another related software from the family Translate Your World, called Subtitle Your Video. This software will help you subtitle all or part of your video in other languages, quickly and inexpensively. Subtitle Your Video also helps you identify and properly handle foreign footage editing, voicing, and subtitling.
