In fact, we offer professional subtitling services in over 190 languages, including Tigrinya, for cinema, TV, online material, DVD, video, video games, computer games and corporate CD-ROMS.

We can provide captions and Tigrinya 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 Tigrinya subtitling

Using subtitling software, we can provide subtitles in virtually any language including Tigrinya, 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 Tigrinya 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 Tigrinya captioning

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

Tigrinya transcription and translation for film and tv

We regularly translate film and documentary clips providing a finished transcription with time codes ready for Tigrinya 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 Tigrinya subtitles

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

Tigrinya video SEO

Do you have an existing video in Tigrinya, 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 Tigrinya transcript to support your video content or to provide Tigrinya subtitles or captions.  This is how search engines will “hear” your video.
