English to Khmer subtitle translation and localisation

Our Khmer subtitling services include:

In a Khmer text, there are no spaces between words: instead, spaces indicate the end of a clause or sentence. Khmer also has two sets of consonants, as well as subscript consonants, independent vowels and vowel diacritics. In spite of efforts to standardise written Khmer, many words have more than one accepted spelling. There is no fixed standard for programming Khmer fonts, so many of them are incompatible with each other and major software applications.

When subtitling Khmer is it important to use a font that works with the diacritics from the very beginning of the project, otherwise, they will not be correctly aligned and text corruptions can result. Our Khmer translators only work using fonts from our approved list of tested Khmer fonts.

Style of subtitles

There are various styles of Khmer subtitles that we can offer. Not just the style of Khmer 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 Khmer. 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 Khmer 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 Khmer 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 Khmer 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.
