Subtitles and captions fail in small visible ways: line breaks feel wrong, reading speed is too fast, the speaker label disappears, or the platform rejects the file.
DD treats multimedia work as a production lane, not a generic translation request. The brief names the audience, platform, file format, language list, and timing check before work starts.
Short form: name, work email, runtime, platform, target languages, and media files or links if ready.
Timed text has to be watchable, not merely translated. DD asks for platform, runtime, source language, target languages, caption type, and file format so timing, readability, speaker treatment, and upload requirements are handled together.
This lane fits training video, public service content, marketing clips, education media, internal explainers, and streaming-style assets. Delivery can include SRT, VTT, captions, SDH, or subtitle files matched to the receiving system and review platform.
DD handles timed text work for media teams. That includes subtitles, captions, SDH, SRT, VTT, transcript-to-subtitle, platform-ready files, and multilingual caption or subtitle requests where timing and readability matter for upload and buyer review too.
Send the media asset and platform requirements first. Include source language, target languages, runtime, file format, caption type, timing expectations, deadline, review platform, and whether the output must be SRT, VTT, SDH, subtitle, or caption files.
Subtitles usually display or translate dialogue. Captions may also include speaker labels, sound cues, music cues, and accessibility details, so DD needs to know whether the file is for translation, accessibility, platform upload, or both.
Yes. DD can prepare SRT, VTT, caption, subtitle, or SDH files. The receiving platform matters because line length, timing, speaker treatment, file extension, encoding, upload rules, accessibility expectations, and review steps can differ by system.
Yes. Existing SRT, VTT, or subtitle files can be translated. Send the source timed-text file, video reference if available, target languages, platform requirements, timing constraints, and whether the translation should preserve or adjust line breaks.
Yes. DD can include timing and readability checks. The brief should name platform, runtime, caption type, source quality, review needs, target languages, and whether output needs line-break cleanup, reading-speed review, or platform formatting before ship.
