LANGUAGE SOLUTIONS · SUBTITLING & DUBBING
Subtitling and dubbingat broadcast scale.
Audiovisual localization for streaming, broadcast, and enterprise media — including 500,000+ minutes delivered for major MENA platforms.
Overview
Audiovisual localization that travels.
Subtitling and dubbing is what turns a piece of content into a global property. Tarjama runs broadcast-grade audiovisual localization workflows that have delivered 500,000+ minutes of content for the MENA region's largest streaming and broadcast platforms — including subtitling in 60+ languages, professional dubbing with native voice talent, closed captioning for accessibility, and live captioning for events. Our linguists, voice directors, and engineers work inside a controlled pipeline that preserves performance, pacing, and intent so the localized version feels native to its audience, not translated for it.

How it works
From raw footage to broadcast-ready.
Subtitling and dubbing at scale is a pipeline, not a single task. Here is how Tarjama turns source media into polished, on-brand content in every target language.
Step 1
Media intake & analysis
We scope your languages, formats, timing requirements, and platform specifications so every deliverable matches its destination — broadcast, streaming, or social.
Step 2
Transcription & timing
Linguists create accurate, time-coded source captions, establishing the foundation for subtitles and dubbing scripts.
Step 3
Translation & cultural adaptation
Subtitles and scripts are localized for reading speed, cultural nuance, and — for dubbing — natural phrasing and lip-sync.
Step 4
Recording or hardcoding
We record professional voice talent for dubbing, or burn and format subtitles to your exact technical spec.
Step 5
QA & delivery
A multi-layer review checks timing, readability, and audio sync before we deliver broadcast-ready files.
FAQ
