The video below was to promote ABSOLUT ELYX vodka in Japan, the client was leaving for Japan very soon and we had to make this Japanese subtitling project a priority to meet the very short deadline.

The video below was produced for the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation, the client was also leaving for Japan in a few days and had a number of videos they needed translating and subtitling for a very important exhibition in Japan.

Music video subtitling

Adelphi Studio has recently produced music video subtitling in Japanese and Spanish for Van Halen. These were of a live performance of the song ‘She’s the Woman’ and a number of interviews.

Our subtitling and voice-over department, Adelphi Studio, is part of Adelphi Translations Ltd., a full-service translation agency producing not only Japanese translations and subtitles but also Japanese typesetting and Japanese voice-overs.

Adelphi is a Japanese subtitling agency that aims to provide a full video localization service to our customers.

Style of subtitles

There are various styles of Japanese subtitles that we can offer. Not just the style of Japanese font but also whether or not to use an opaque background behind the text or even a stylised background for dramatic effect or no background at all. We can advise you on the options available to suit your video and even produce samples for you to consider.

Localisation of on-screen text

Localising any on-screen text and motion graphics on your video into Japanese. Depending on the individual graphics and the source software used to create them we could require the original data package it was produced in.

SRT translation and transcription services

Using Adelphi’s English to Japanese translation services for subtitling, quality and timing can be closely controlled throughout the project, ensuring that your subtitles will always be ready to publish on or before your deadline. We also provide Japanese subtitling for many translation agencies around the world and are happy to work with their translations. As some languages must use specific fonts in order to work with the subtitling software, we can consult with you on your needs and advise you of all of your options. Adelphi is a proud member of the Association of Translation Companies (ATC).

Our in-house subtitle translations department are experts in English to Japanese translations and subtitle/SRT files created specifically for subtitling projects. SRT files are time-coded transcripts that can be imported into the subtitling software that then displays the correct subtitle in the correct sequence.

We also offer a transcription service for those customers lacking a transcript of their videos. We provide time-coded scripts of your videos that are ready to be translated. We will then use those translations for the subtitle text, sending you the files at each stage of the process for you to review and assess.
