Croatian Audiovisual Translation Service

Working together with our experienced and qualified translators, voiceover artists, interpreters, audiovisual translators, transcribers and subtitlers, we offer a wide range of language services.

Available in over 200 languages within the UK and beyond, our linguists can get you heard in any language of your choice. While we do not offer a walk-in service, we are only one phone call away from discussing your language requirements.

What is audiovisual translation?

Some people call it video translation.  Some people call it audio translation.  Some direct translation, some a “one-step” translation and some “on-the-fly”. There are probably others.  But what actually is it?

We can provide a translation from one language spoken in any audio or video file into another language.

If we assume you require an English translation of what has been said in Croatian, the linguist will listen to the speech on the audio or video file and will provide a direct written translation into English much in the same way as an interpreter would interpret what he or she hears verbally.

Our Croatian audiovisual translators can include speaker labels and time codes, depending on your requirement.  Unless required, no accompanying transcript of the source language spoken is produced.

The quality and speed of output will depend on the clarity of the source media file, so if you’re starting from scratch, please obtain the best quality recording possible.

Time stamps and format

Our Croatian audio and video translation service includes 5-minute time code markers as standard. We can however increase the frequency if required to whatever you require, and with some languages, even every word is possible.

Working from either the media player time codes or the burnt in time codes, we can produce the translated transcript in multiple formats including dual language tables.

We understand and are happy to adopt any templates or guidelines you might wish us to use, but if you would prefer to use one of our inhouse versions, please <<get in touch>> with one of our project managers and they would be happy to send over samples most appropriate to your material.

Croatian audiovisual translation of scripts for voice overs

Because we have a large library of male and female voice over talents in over 200 languages including Croatian, we are often called on to prepare scripts from the source video or audio material.  Our resulting time-coded scripts mimic the flavour and tone of the original so that the voice over artists can provide as natural a result as possible.

Source media file formats

We can handle just about any input format including:

YouTube and Vimeo links, AAC, ACT, AIFC, AIFF, AMR, APE, AU, CAF, DCT, DVS, FLAC, OGG, M4A, MP2, MP3, UPC, MSV, QCP, RA/RM, SHN, SPX, VOC, VOX, WAV, WMA, 3G2, 3GP, ASF, AV1, DivX, DV, FLV, M4V, MKV, MOV, MP4, MPEG, WMV
