Nuer Subtitles & Captions

Knockhundred offers a high-quality Nuer subtitling service to a variety of clients across a wide range of business sectors. In fact, we offer professional subtitling services in over 190 languages, including Nuer, for cinema, TV, online material, DVD, video, video games, computer games and corporate CD-ROMS.

We can provide captions and Nuer captioning services (including closed captions) for those people who are deaf or hard of hearing. These captions will usually contain descriptions of non-dialogue audio (such as laughter or a door slamming).

We also of course provide English subtitling services to a huge range of clients across the globe. Please refer to our languages page to see which languages we can handle.

The art of Nuer subtitling

Using subtitling software, we can provide subtitles in virtually any language including Nuer, and produce the end result in most industry-standard formats such as plain text, Word, HTML, Final Cut Pro XML, Spruce STL or Subrip (srt).

If you don't see the format you need, just ask, as we may still be able to help. The Nuer subtitlers will identify exact positions where each subtitle should appear and disappear. These markers are usually identified by precise time codes/frames dependent on the service you require.

The process of Nuer captioning

The process of captioning is much the same as for producing Nuer subtitles. The main difference is that the resulting Nuer captions will often contain descriptions of sound as well as a direct transcription of the speech.

Nuer transcription and translation for film and tv

We regularly translate film and documentary clips providing a finished transcription with time codes ready for Nuer subtitles to be created. We are more than happy to produce finished srt subtitle files if you'd prefer.

One-step media translation from video for Nuer subtitles

If your source video is in one language, for example English, and you require the subtitles to be in another, for example Nuer, our Nuer linguists will provide a direct translation into the relevant language and produce time-coded subtitles in a suitable format.

Nuer video SEO

Do you have an existing video in Nuer, or are you having one produced?  If you want consumers to find your video, please remember search engines can’t watch a video or listen to audio, but they do “understand” (and index) text.  This is why it is important to upload an aligned, accurate Nuer transcript to support your video content or to provide Nuer subtitles or captions.  This is how search engines will “hear” your video.

WHILE YOU’RE HERE... SOME QUITE INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT THE Nuer LANGUAGE

The Nuer language is a Nilo-Saharan language of the Western Nilotic group. It is spoken by the Nuer people of South Sudan and in western Ethiopia (region of Gambela). Nuer is one of eastern and central Africa's most widely spoken languages, along with the Dinka language. The language is very similar to the languages of Jieng and Chollo. Nuer language has a Latin-based alphabet. There are also several dialects of Nuer, although all have one written standard. For example, final /k/ is pronounced in the Jikany dialect, but is dropped in other dialects despite being indicated in Nuer orthography.
