F.A.Q

Frequently Asked Questions

We can provide subtitle files in .ass or .srt.

Our encoders can provide videos files optimised for web streaming, hardware devices, consoles, etc.

Our translators would prefer a script if one is available, otherwise translating from audio is fine.

Our translators can also translate into most common European languages, such as French, German, Portuguese and Italian.

Currently we only translate from Japanese, but we will expand to Korean and Chinese in the near future.

Depending on the medium that requires localisation, we may quote a price in cost per Japanese character (e.g. manga, games) or cost per minute of video (e.g. anime). Quotes will vary depending on the scope of work and delivery schedules. We can provide quotes in USD, GBP or EUR.
