Portuguese Closed Captions Case Study

This is Cummins – Portuguese Closed Captions (subtitles)

Cummins required a subtitling (closed captions) company to assist them with Portuguese subtitling services for their “This is Cummins” promotional video, determining who they are and the future of their business to their customers.

Matinée transcribed the English audio as heard in the original video and then, with the help of our professional Portuguese linguists, we produced the Portuguese translationss. Once the translations were complete, we then sent these on to our client to approve, in order to make sure that they were happy with them.

As soon as our client had approved the translated version of the English transcription, our in-house engineers then synced the Portuguese subtitles to the video and burnt these in to a .mov video file. For this particular video, we also produced the Turkish, Brazilian Portuguese, Arabic, and French subtitles, following the same process.

Our client was thrilled with the end result, which can be viewed on this page.

We had the pleasure of recording with Matinée linking up from London for an animation project. Everything went brilliantly with our voice actor in the studio, whilst we connected from London. I highly recommend the engineers and professional expertise of Matinée. Great technical session with smooth communication. We hope to work with the studio in the near future.

Matinée Multilingual recently wrapped up a voice-over recording project in nine languages for a health and safety film intended for engineering sites worldwide. Their service was outstanding, collaborating with us every step of the way to ensure a successful, timely completion within our budget. They kept us well-informed throughout the process and delivered finished audio files promptly in our requested format and numbering. Matinée Multilingual is our trusted partner for foreign language translations and voice-over recordings.

Thanks,

We (Westhill Communications) recently worked with Matinee Multilingual on a Portuguese voiceover recording for an animation, and the experience was nothing short of amazing. They came recommended by a colleague, and it’s easy to see why. Even with our modest budget, they went above and beyond to deliver a result that blew us away.
Kayleigh, who managed our project, was an absolute star. She was so friendly and professional, always keeping us in the loop without overwhelming us with too much information. We got regular updates, a great selection of voiceover artists to choose from, and all the key details we needed, it was just the right balance of communication.
The whole process was smooth, easy, and completely stress-free. Honestly, we couldn’t have asked for better service. If you need translations, editing, or voiceover recordings, we’d recommend Matinee in a heartbeat. Huge thanks to Kayleigh and the team for doing such a brilliant job!

Matinée Multilingual has done an outstanding job sourcing voice talent and recording voiceovers for 20 language versions of an animated health education video. I’ve particularly appreciated their persistence in identifying voice actors for some less common languages (Rohingya, Karen, Khmer) that they originally thought they would not be able to deliver. They have been responsive, flexible, patient throughout a long process. And most importantly, Matinée has consistently provided top quality voice recordings. I would not hesitate to work with Matinée again on future projects.

Matinée have excellent communication from initial enquiry to project close. They delivered on time after we had changed our requirements and the quality of the narrations we asked for was exceptional in both English and Cymraeg. If we have future audio recording needs we would ask for their services again.

Portuguese Subtitling Production Made Simple

Closed caption services

A complete package of subtitling services, tailored to make the process stress free

  1. Transcription – we create a script we can work from, with timecodes added, to identify exactly where each subtitle appears in the video
  2. Translation – when required we can organise translation into your target languages. We take care here, as the translated text must be shortened to fit the available space on screen
  3. Subtitle creation – once the translations have been agreed, we’ll synchronise the on-screen text with the visual cues on screen. We can also translate and edit non-spoken titles and captions that appear on-screen if required.

English to Portuguese subtitling service

Portuguese is a romance language like French and Spanish. It is the official language of Portugal, Brazil, Cape Verde, Sao Tome, Principe, Guinea-Bissau, Angola and Mozambique.

Three countries have Portuguese as a co-official language and these are East Timor, Macau and Equatorial New Guinea. You’ll also hear the language in Diu in India, on the east coast of Sri Lanka and in Malacca in Malaysia.

The language originated in the Kingdom of Galicia and is spoken by around 250 million speakers. San Paulo in Brazil has the greatest number of Portuguese speakers in the world. In the city you can visit the Museum of the Portuguese Language which was opened in 2006.

The Portuguese language became official in 1290, when King Denis opened the first Portuguese university and changed the language name from ‘Common Language’ to Portuguese. During the 15th and 16th centuries Portugal colonised many countries and the language was used in Asia and Africa.

European Portuguese has around ten dialects and in Brazil there are sixteen. The differences are mainly in accent and vocabulary. The vocabulary of European Portuguese contains Arabic words, which came about as a result of the Moorish conquest of Iberia.
