Kinyarwanda 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 Kinyarwanda, 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 Kinyarwanda 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 Kinyarwanda 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.

Kinyarwanda 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 Kinyarwanda, 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

While you’re here… some quite interesting facts about the Kinyarwanda language.

Blackburn. Did you know that Blackburn Rovers Football Club was formed by a group of public schoolboys in 1875?

The two who called the inaugural meeting were Shrewsbury old boys; others attending were from QEGS in Blackburn and Malvern College whose quartered shirts were adopted by the new club – though with Cambridge Blue in place of Malvern Green.

Burnley. Did you know that Britain’s shortest river is the Brun which runs through Burnley. And Did you know that Burnley Miners’ Social Club sells more Benedictine than any other hostelry in Britain?

Burnley buys roughly one in every three bottles of the stuff sold in the UK.

As WWI ended local lads were stationed in Fecamp where what they dubbed Bene is made, and during the winter of 1918-19 got a taste for drinking it 50/50 with hot water, still the custom in the town to this day.

Morecambe. Did you know that John Osborne wrote the gritty Midlands drama that became Look Back in Anger while comfortably ensconced in a deckchair on Morecambe pier?

He was appearing with a repertory company in the play Seagulls Over Sorrento there in the early summer of 1955, and penned the first draught of the largely autobiographical piece in just 17 days.

Where is Kinyarwanda most widely spoken?
