Script translation is an art performed by an experienced writer qualified in translating one language pair, e.g. English > German. Their job is to take the content in the source language and translate it into the target language, ensuring the message and meaning remain intact. A script translation is often not verbatim because jokes and colloquialisms used in speech need creative adaptation into the target language. For this reason, a script translator will specialise in specific genres or mediums such as role-playing games, horror films or commercials. They will take great care to translate matching new time constraints too.
Translating a film script for dubbing in a foreign language is a multi-stage process. An experienced script translator will first translate the words line by line, bearing in mind the time constraints and the tone. Then in collaboration with a native linguistic director, the script is further adapted to match the actor's lip movements more closely. 1A 00% match is never possible, but subtle word changes go a long way to help the actors read at the same rhythm, and it will be less jarring for audiences.
Translating a film script for off-screen roles, such as a narrator's voice, is more straightforward. In our process, we'll test a few script translators to help narrow down the best one for the project.
A script translation is much more involved than translating text documents because the actor must perform the script aloud.
A word for word (verbatim) translation will sound stilted, unnatural and at worst contextually wrong. Script translation requires creativity and more research. Expect to pay anything from 50-100% more for a quality script translation service. We recommend setting a budget comparable to hiring a quality writer (from around $0.5 per word). Still, the actual rate will depend on the language pair, genre, and the number of revisions expected.
Yes, as long as the speech is audible. First, a transcriptionist will transcribe the voice recording into a timed-text format divided into time-stamped sections for easy reference. Then a qualified translator in the target language and with relevant industry knowledge will do the translation work. The script translation is usually delivered as a multilingual document, i.e. with the source language and target language alongside the reference times.
If the voice recording is of poor quality, we can attempt to clean up the file to isolate the speech, but we will need more time.
Translating Arabic scripts into English follows the same process as any other language pair. A native English translator with Arabic language skills will do the bulk of the translation work. Then, depending on the desired investment in quality assurance, a senior translation manager will do 1 or 2 levels of quality checking. Of course, suppose the English version has to match a picture, e.g. a film, TV series or commercial. In that case, the translator will adhere closely to the timings ensuring the voice-over talent or voice actors can read the English script naturally in time with the Arabic actors or narration.
