Style of subtitles
There are various styles of Korean subtitles that we can offer. Not just the style of Korean 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 Korean. 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 Korean 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 Korean 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 Korean translations and subtitle SRT files. 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.

Korean website translation: How much of your site should be translated into Korean?
Depending on how you are marketing your product or service abroad, it may not make sense or be cost-effective to translate the entire site into Korean. If there are regularly updated sections such as ‘News’ or maybe a blog, in which new content is frequently added, you may want to exclude this from the Korean version of your website. You can create an effective series of ‘mini-sites’ in Korean, which contains the main content of your site.
Navigating your translated websites — to flag or not to flag?
Many companies like to use flags to show the languages into which their website is translated. Using the Korean flag is common but bear in mind that some languages are spoken in multiple countries. If you are aiming for a generic translation to be understood by as many Korean speakers as possible, then flags may not be appropriate. For example, French in Europe is spoken in France, Belgium, Monaco, Andorra and Switzerland.
