Subtitling in Denmark

 

Let's face it- it's challenging enough to come across a reliable subtitling service provider online. But try finding one that can truly convey the authentic experience with your content in Danish!
 

There is a commonly adopted subtitle development process that all subtitling companies follow. For a start, customer content is reviewed, and professional audiovisual translators are assigned. Then English Master Templates are created, translated into Danish, and proofread by captionists. Finally, the Danish subtitles or captions are QCed and delivered in the requested subtitle format. And following this workflow should be enough to transcend the authentic content feel in Danish.
 

But there's a catch.
 

The original content has been produced in another country, within a different cultural context and simply translating and subtitling it in Danish language is not enough to convey its creative intent. In result, the translated version fails to engage the Danish viewers and very successful TV shows, films, commercials, video games or other media end up as mediocre for the local audience. 

 

To help you transcend the original experience with your content and achieve a native feel, we apply a culture first approach- we craft and deliver Danish subtitles that consider all local norms and traditions to create a culturally relevant and immersive viewer experience for Denmark.

 

GoPhrazy provides Danish subtitling services through our native subtitle translators for the needs of your TV, films, cartoons, animations, e-learning videos, commercials, and video games. Here's the deal- it takes just 3 easy steps with us to make your subtitles perfect for Denmark:

Where dialogue becomes vision

 

What makes over 300 companies come back and reward us with more than 10 000 projects over the years is our culturally intelligent approach. It’s a group of methods that blend meaning and feeling with local expertise to provide a peace of mind that your media feels great in Danish.

 

It all starts with you

 

We know that the most important factor in communication is to make sure that your viewers can connect and engage with your content not only on a linguistic but most importantly on a cultural level. That's why we don’t simply translate and subtitle your script in Danish language. Instead, we assist you in adapting your content to the local culture and craft a superior viewer experience.

Expertly written and perfectly timed

 

Our subtitlers are not only true experts in Danish language but also in weighing written against spoken words, editing text to fit both visually and contextually, retaining the essence without any loss of meaning. While translating and developing Danish subtitles, we consider the rhythm of the video, dialogue pace and the viewers' reading speed. We create subtitles and captions with timings synchronized with a surgical precision to the highest level of accuracy (up to 1/100 sec). As a result, our Danish subtitles are always consistent but above all, always a pleasure to read.

 

Our Danish subtitling specialists

 

Creating Danish subtitles requires much more than simply making a word-by-word translation of a video script. Our subtitlers need to understand and experience the content; retain the context and meaning of the original version and convey it into Danish, considering cultural differences. That's why we work with a large pool of local subtitle translators that have expertise in many sectors, including entertainment, advertising, video game, e-learning, technology, and more.

 

Our in-house subtitling department

 

Though we employ highly trained, experienced and subject-matter competent, native freelance Danish subtitle translators, we also have a team of in-house subtitling QCers who validate each and every file against the assigned specifications and cultural checklists to ensure that our subtitling service is always delivered correctly. In result, your Danish versioned media is ready to publish, in the style and format that you require. We strive to provide a seamless viewer experience in Danish and we know that the perfect subtitling is the one that you never notice.

Danish closed captioning

 

Improve the accessibility of your content in Denmark by taking advantage of our Danish closed captioning services! While subtitles are created for hearing viewers and only reflect dialogue, our Danish closed captioning includes all audio elements to provide more context and enhance the content experience for viewers with hearing disability. We cover any sound in the video that is not visually evident and develop Danish closed captions with the assumption that the viewer is restricted from hearing the audio. We split the transcribed text into chunks (caption frames) and enable your local audience to follow the audio, video or captions interchangeably. Thus, we improve the accessibility and overall viewer experience for Danish audience with hearing impairment who depend on captions to understand the video. As these captions are enclosed in video stream and can be turned on and off at viewer's comfort, they are named "closed captions".

 

Danish open captioning

 

In case you need to improve accessibility for your videos, cinematic and theatrical content, our Danish open captioning services are the perfect match for you. Unlike closed captions, open captions are embedded (burnt-in) the media file and become an inseparable feature of the video. They cannot be switched on and off like closed captions but on the other side have other benefits. They are easier to use, eliminate the need to manage separate files and inconsistencies among various media players. They enable publishers to control caption size and style and (if the text is generated properly) come in sync with video while not requiring a special software for playback.

 

Danish SDH subtitling

 

Subtitling for the deaf and hard of hearing (or HoH subtitling) quickly becomes a media accessibility standard in Denmark to respond to emerging regulations. It provides the closest-to-equal experience with your content to the local audience that suffers of hearing loss and combines both subtitle and caption content into a single file that is then translated into Danish. SDH include dialogue transcription, speaker IDs, audio description and could be placed anywhere on the screen to follow the sound positioning. While SDH includes audience with hearing loss, it also improves entertainment value and adds flexibility to education and information resources.

 

SDH are particularly designed for deaf, Deaf or hard of hearing audience.

 

  • Deaf with lower case "d" refers to viewers that cannot hear but can speak
  • Deaf with upper case "D" refers to viewers with hearing loss that prefer "sign language"
  • Hard of hearing refers to viewers with any level of hearing impairment

 

Led by exceptional people and supported by a state-of-the-art technology, we deliver Danish captions in a quick, responsive, reliable, convenient, consistent, transparent, and risk-free manner across various industries, while keeping you informed at every step of the way with your project.

About Danish language

 

Danish is a North Germanic language spoken by approximately 6 million people, primarily in Denmark. Danish is a member of the North Germanic branch of the Germanic language family, which also includes languages like Swedish, Norwegian, and Icelandic. It shares some similarities with these languages but has its own distinct features. Danish pronunciation can be challenging for non-native speakers due to its unique sounds and intonation patterns. It features soft diphthongs, guttural sounds, and a melodic rhythm known as "stød." Danish grammar is relatively straightforward compared to some other Germanic languages. It employs noun declension, verb conjugation, and a system of grammatical genders (common and neuter). Danish has undergone spelling reforms to simplify its orthography, making it more phonetic. However, there are still some inconsistencies between spelling and pronunciation. Danish vocabulary has roots in Old Norse, the language of the Vikings, but has also been influenced by other Germanic languages and loanwords from French, English, and other languages. Danish language is an integral part of Danish culture and national identity. It is used in literature, media, education, and official communication. Danish literature, with renowned authors like Hans Christian Andersen and Karen Blixen, has made significant contributions to world literature.

 

About Danish culture

 

Danish culture is characterized by a balance of simplicity, innovation, and a strong sense of community. Hygge is a central concept in Danish culture, representing coziness, contentment, and enjoying simple pleasures. It involves creating a warm and inviting atmosphere, spending quality time with loved ones, and embracing comfort. Danish design is internationally renowned for its simplicity, functionality, and elegance. Iconic designers like Arne Jacobsen and Hans Wegner have made significant contributions to modern design. Danish architecture, characterized by clean lines and innovative approaches, can be seen in buildings like the Sydney Opera House and the Danish Royal Library. Denmark is famous for its cycling culture. Bicycles are a common mode of transportation, with well-maintained cycling infrastructure and a commitment to sustainability. Cycling is not only practical but also promotes a healthy lifestyle and a sense of community. Danish society values equality and social welfare. Denmark consistently ranks high in indices for social equality, healthcare, education, and overall quality of life. The welfare state ensures a high standard of living and equal opportunities for all citizens. Danish cuisine combines traditional Nordic ingredients with modern culinary techniques. Smørrebrød (open-faced sandwiches), Danish pastries, and New Nordic cuisine are emblematic of Danish culinary traditions. Denmark also boasts numerous Michelin-starred restaurants. Danish culture celebrates traditions and festivals such as Christmas, Easter, and Midsummer (Sankt Hans Aften). These festivities often involve gatherings, music, dancing, and traditional customs that strengthen social bonds.
