Corporate video
Business video can serve many purposes: internal announcements, recruitment, product presentation, interviews, training, marketing, investor communication or technical support.
The subtitles need to reflect the language the company already uses elsewhere.
Product names, departments, processes and specialist terminology should not change simply because the content has moved from a document to a video.
We can therefore work with client glossaries, approved translations, product documentation and style guides.
Internal communication
Multinational companies often distribute the same message across several offices or countries.
Subtitles allow the original speaker and video to remain unchanged while employees receive the information in their own language.
Where the source video includes names, job titles or internal terminology, reference material helps maintain consistency with the organisation’s established wording.
Training and compliance material
Training videos can contain safety terminology, procedures, legal information and internal instructions that need careful control.
The subtitle must be readable while the learner also watches the demonstration or presentation.
For recurring training libraries, terminology and formatting decisions can be maintained across many videos rather than recreated independently for every file.
E-learning courses
Online courses often combine narration with slides, diagrams, software interfaces and exercises.
A subtitle that is too dense can compete with the material the learner is supposed to study on screen.
We therefore consider the visual context as well as the spoken content and can prepare a source subtitle template for later translation into several languages.
Webinars and recorded conferences
Webinars and conferences can include several speakers, poor-quality audio, questions from the audience and specialist terminology.
The work may begin with transcription and subtitle creation or with an automatically generated transcript that needs correcting and converting into usable timed text.
Speaker lists, presentation slides and event programmes are valuable reference material.
Software demonstrations
Software videos require particular attention to interface terminology.
If the product has already been localised, subtitle terminology should match the labels users see on screen.
Client terminology databases, screenshots, user guides and existing translations can be used as reference material.
Product and industrial video
Technical and industrial videos may contain component names, measurements, procedures and safety terminology.
LinguaVox can coordinate subtitle translation with other technical translation work so that the terminology used in video remains aligned with manuals, catalogues and product documentation.
Marketing and social video
Marketing assets can have different timing and reading expectations from long-form documentary or broadcast material.
Fast editing, captions integrated into the design and short-form social content may require a specific treatment agreed with the client.
We do not assume that one set of subtitle rules fits every marketing channel. The deliverable should reflect the intended platform and creative format.
Languages for teams in Spain
Companies operating in Spain may need Spanish together with Basque, Catalan, Valencian or Galician.
We can prepare several versions from the same source programme and add English or other international languages where a training or communications campaign extends beyond Spain.
Our head office is in Santurtzi, Bizkaia, and LinguaVox manages projects in more than 150 languages.
Multilingual course libraries
A large e-learning programme can contain dozens or hundreds of videos.
In these cases, consistent source templates, terminology and file naming become important operational assets.
We can coordinate recurring batches, maintain reference material and deliver language versions in an agreed structure so that the client’s publishing team can manage them efficiently.
Subtitle creation from video
If no subtitle file exists, we can create one from the soundtrack.
The service can include transcription, spotting, segmentation and timecoding before translation begins.
When an automatic transcript is supplied, we can assess whether it is reliable enough to use as a starting point.
File formats
Common deliverables include SRT and WebVTT, while other environments may require STL, TTML, SCC or different timed-text assets.
The correct format depends on the learning platform, video player, editing software or publication process.
Frequently asked questions
Can you subtitle a complete e-learning library into several languages?
Yes. We can manage recurring batches and maintain shared terminology and project conventions across the course library.
Can you use our existing company glossary?
Yes. Approved terminology and style guides are particularly useful for corporate and technical content.
Can you create subtitles from webinar recordings?
Yes. The process can include transcription, speaker handling, timecoding and translation where required.
Can you provide Spanish, Basque and Catalan versions for employees in Spain?
Yes. These languages can be coordinated within the same project, together with other international versions.
Can you work from our automatically generated captions?
Yes. We first assess and correct the material as necessary before treating it as a reliable subtitle source.
Which subtitle format should we use for our LMS?
That depends on the platform. Tell us which learning or video system you use and we can assess the required delivery format.
