Subtitling

Subtitling Case Study: Ramadan Project

Project Overview

The subtitling project highlighted above showcases our recent work, focusing on 60 videos translating Islamic preaching, hadiths, and stories about scholars, Sahabas, and prophets from Somali to English. Each video required a deep understanding of both the source material and the intended audience to ensure accurate and culturally relevant subtitles. We’ve included brief excerpts from selected videos to illustrate our approach to these complex subjects.

Our Approach

To meet our clients’ high standards, we followed a detailed process that included initial transcription of the audio, timing the subtitles for optimal readability, and a thorough quality assurance review. Each step was crucial in maintaining the integrity of the original content while ensuring that the subtitles effectively conveyed the same message and tone as the source material.

Challenges in Capturing Context

One of the primary challenges we faced was accurately conveying the tone and intent of the spoken dialogue, especially in discussions about Islamic teachings and stories of revered figures. Certain phrases and nuances required careful consideration to ensure they were appropriately represented in the subtitles. We collaborated closely with cultural and religious experts to ensure that the subtitled content was relevant and meaningful for the audience.

Complexity of Specialized Terminology

Subtitling content related to Islamic preaching often involves specialized terminology that demands precision. This complexity required us to find suitable equivalents that maintained accuracy while ensuring the subtitles were accessible and easy to understand for viewers. Through meticulous research and collaboration, we successfully captured the essence of the original dialogue without compromising clarity.

Results

The completed subtitles effectively met the client’s requirements, delivering clear and contextually relevant materials across all 60 videos. Feedback indicated that the subtitled content was well-received and enhanced the overall viewer experience, allowing the information to reach a broader audience effectively.
