Adaptation

However, for audiovisual productions, translation is not enough:

only LOCALIsation can truly adapt the source text to the target public. The quality of your message will largely depend on the quality of the LOCALIsation.
Localisation is all about tailoring your message to the culture of the target country (choice of words, idioms, forms of address, different organisation of arguments), as well as adjusting sentence length and even the sound of words.

Audio dubbing

For example during lip-synchronised dubbing (lipsync), ‘Hi Ben, how are you today?’ cannot be translated by ‘Bonjour Ben, comment vas-tu aujourd’hui ?’ because the French version is:
-         Too long (ten syllables as opposed to seven in the English)
-         Does not fit mouth movements (‘hi’ produces an open mouth, whereas ‘bonjour’ starts with a closed mouth)
-         Ludicrous (even ridiculous?) as ‘comment vas-tu aujourd’hui ?’ is a poor translation of an English greeting which is not used in French.

We offer our dialogue adaptation services for audiovisual, animation, and training productions, video games and interactive toys.

DVD authoring

Films that have been translated, adapted and then dubbed in various languages, need to be presented and cut onto a single, interactive large capacity media: the DVD or Digital Versatile Disc. This is called DVD authoring or video creation. It is a three-stage process: capture, editing of menus and cutting. DVDs offer unbeatable storage capacity: 4.7 Giga Octets (or more for double-layer DVDs), eight audio tracks, thirty-two subtitle tracks, an unlimited number of menus including animated menus, and a Dolby Digital facility. Editing of the interactive menu, or authoring, is the key stage which aims to enhance the films, while making them easier to view. This technology offers unbeatably flexible playback, thanks to ergonomic and efficient navigation. Vox Populi® is the solution for your DVD authoring.
