However good a video is, viewers who can't understand it won't finish it. Whether it's a YouTube channel reaching overseas viewers, a corporate video for international clients, or a course or exhibition video that needs several languages, subtitles are the direct, cost-effective answer. Chipscat Studio offers a multilingual subtitle package: transcription, translation and subtitling in one, so you only provide the video.
What's in the package
- Transcription: no transcript needed; we transcribe from the video. If you already have a script or transcript, it speeds things up.
- Translated subtitles: Chinese (Traditional and Simplified), English, Japanese and Korean; ask about other languages.
- Delivery format: SRT files (for YouTube uploads and language switching) or subtitles burned into the video.
- Line breaks and timing: lines broken by meaning and reading pace, timed to the audio and checked line by line before delivery.
When multilingual subtitles make sense
- A YouTube channel that wants English-, Japanese- or Chinese-speaking viewers
- Corporate or product videos for overseas clients or partners
- Online courses and tutorials for students in different languages
- Exhibition and event videos shown to international audiences
How it works
- Send the video and your needs. Create a Google Drive folder, upload the video, turn on link sharing and send us the link with the languages and format (SRT or burned in) you need.
- Assessment and quote. We assess it by video length, number of languages and difficulty of the content, and send a quote. You decide.
- Production and delivery. Once confirmed, we produce and deliver in the agreed format. If wording or line breaks need adjusting afterwards, tell us.
Quality
The point of multilingual subtitles isn't just "translated correctly" but "reads naturally and keeps up with the picture". After translation we proofread every line for meaning and line breaks, and adjust length and wrapping to each language's reading habits. For content heavy in specialist terms (medical, legal, technical), tell us when you ask, and we'll confirm during assessment whether we can handle it properly.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to provide a transcript?
No. We can transcribe directly. If you have a script or transcript, sending it shortens production.
Can I order a single foreign language only?
Yes. Single-language, bilingual (for example Chinese and English) or multilingual packages are all available. Pricing follows the number of languages and the video length.
What's the difference between SRT and burned-in subtitles?
SRT is a separate subtitle file: on YouTube viewers can switch it on and off and change language. Burned-in subtitles are part of the picture and visible on any platform. We can deliver both.
How long does it take?
It depends on the video length and the number of languages. We give an estimated number of working days with the quote.
