A video that isn't understood doesn't inform, sell, or train anyone. We provide subtitles, voice-overs, or dubbing in the language your audience speaks.

Audio & video translation

A great video shouldn't lose its message in translation.

We understand your videos carry more than words: tone, timing, and intent all have to survive translation.

Argo Translation provides subtitles, dubs, or voices for your videos in any language, preserving the timing and tone of the original so every audience gets the same experience.

We translate your script and sync captions to the video pace. The original English audio plays while translated subtitles appear on screen, making it easy to follow.

Voice-over

A native-speaking or AI-generated voice actor rerecords the narration in the target language, and we mix it into the video, so the localized voice carries the whole message.

Read the Case Study

Two paths

Auto-captioning a video costs more in trust than translating it properly

When it's poorly translated

The video works, the message doesn't

Robotic narration

Synthetic voices miss the tone and pacing your message depends on.

Mistimed captions

Auto-captions run ahead or behind, and viewers stop watching.

Lost meaning

Idioms, humor, and on-screen text get mangled without a human in the loop.

You do the assembly

You're left stitching files, formats, and fixes together yourself.

When Argo Translation handles it

Clear, accurate, and ready to launch

Real voice talent

Native voice actors match the tone, pacing, and intent of your original.

Captions timed to pace

Subtitles are formatted for your platform and reviewed for readability.

Meaning preserved

Industry linguists carry humor, idiom, and on-screen text across languages.

One managed process

A project manager runs translation and production end-to-end.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about video translation

What does video translation include?
Argo Translation handles the entire video localization process. That includes subtitles with platform-specific formatting, multilingual voice-over from native-speaking actors, video and film dubbing, and transcription in clean-read or verbatim formats with optional time codes. We also manage script translation, studio recording, and audio editing so the final track blends naturally with your visuals.
What video formats do you support?
We support 50+ professional video and audio formats. These include 3GP, 3G2, AAC, AIFF, Apple ProRes (including ProRes HDR and ProRes RAW), ASF, AVC-Intra, AVI, BWF, DNxHD, DNxHR, DV, GIF, H.264 AVC, HEVC (H.265), M2TS, M4V, MOV, MP3, MP4, MPEG, MXF, OpenEXR, R3D, VOB, WAV, and WMV.
What languages do you offer for video dubbing?
Video and film dubbing is available in Spanish, German, Italian, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, and French. For voice-over and subtitling, we work in 80+ languages with native-speaking voice talent and linguists. If you need a specific language or dialect, contact us, and we can confirm availability and build a custom solution.
How do you ensure quality and accuracy?
Every project runs through our ISO-certified process (ISO 9001:2015, 17100:2015, 13485:2016, and 18587:2017). Native-speaking, industry-focused linguists translate your script, bilingual reviewers confirm accuracy, and a final QA step checks every deliverable. We are an ATA and ASTM International member, and our certified translation guarantee backs all work.
What is the process for translating a video?
A dedicated project manager guides the workflow. We translate and proofread your script, then native-speaking voice talent rehearses before the studio session, working with an audio engineer and bilingual producer. We record, edit audio to align with your visuals, and run a final QA review before delivery through our secure customer portal.
How long does a video translation project take?
Turnaround depends on video length, language count, and service type. Multimedia projects typically take three to seven days, since video work adds steps like subtitle timing, synchronization, studio recording, and audio editing beyond standard translation. A confirmed timeline comes with every quote, and rush services are available on request.
What drives the cost of a video translation project?
Pricing depends on the services you need, video length, the number of target languages, and your chosen workflow, such as subtitles versus full dubbing or human versus AI voice-over. Translation memory reuse can lower costs on recurring projects. Request a quote through our customer portal for a confirmed price.
