Professional subtitling
The art of translation without distortion
Monolingual, bilingual or intralingual: each subtitle is crafted so as to fade into the background behind the image. The secret? Making the viewer forget that they’re reading.
The translator is selected based on the sphere of the project, each and every line of dialogue is proofread and approved, and the synchronisation is fine-tuned to the exact frame.
Key benefits of using Pulse Translations
- Natural adaptation to tone and context (spoken style, register of the language, cultural references, humour, etc.)
- Strict adherence to applicable technical rules and timing in sync with the on-screen action.
-
Close collaboration with the production team and/or director.
Subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing (SDH)
Every detail made perceptible
Subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing (SDH) go far beyond the words: they translate the entire soundscape of a work. Relevant sounds, key music, essential moods, etc. Everything is made accessible.
The challenge? Choosing the right elements to enhance understanding without overwhelming the viewer with information. SDH must be compliant with applicable standards, yet always enjoyable to read.

- Layout and pacing designed for comfortable reading

Strict adherence to SDH standards and broadcaster requirements
Creative translation
Words that bring your ideas to life
Ads, scripts, press kits, audio guides, etc. Translation here isn’t just about converting text: the translation needs to recreate the original tone, rhythm and intent so that the message hits home, whatever the language.
Each adaptation takes into account the context of use, the culture of the target audience and the nuances that make the difference between a text that’s just accurate… and one that makes an impact.
