Montenegrin subtitling

Subtitling in Montenegro

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 Montenegrin!
 

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 Montenegrin, and proofread by captionists. Finally, the Montenegrin 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 Montenegrin.
 

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 Montenegrin is not enough to convey its creative intent. In result, the translated version fails to engage the local 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 Montenegrin subtitles that consider all local norms and traditions to create a culturally relevant viewer experience for Montenegro.

GoPhrazy provides Montenegrin 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 Montenegro:

Since 1994 we have localized over 10 000 hours of TV programming in foreign languages for providers like Discovery Channel, TLC, HBO, FOX, Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, Disney Channel and many more. The list gets bigger when we add localizing of over 1000 film titles for theatrical and TV distribution, as well as blockbuster games like League of legends, GTA and Civilization.

But that's not all.

Our Montenegrin subtitling specialists

Montenegrin closed captioning

Improve the accessibility of your content in Montenegro by taking advantage of our closed captioning services! While subtitles are created for hearing viewers and only reflect dialogue, our Montenegrin 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 Montenegrin 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 Montenegrin 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".

Montenegrin open captioning

In case you need to improve accessibility for your videos, cinematic and theatrical content, our Montenegrin 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.

Montenegrin SDH subtitling

Subtitling for the deaf and hard of hearing (or HoH subtitling) quickly becomes a media accessibility standard in Montenegro 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 Montenegrin. 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 Montenegrin 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 Montenegrin language

Montenegrin is a South Slavic language primarily spoken in Montenegro. It is one of the official languages of the country, along with Serbian, Bosnian, and Croatian. Montenegrin uses the Latin alphabet, which consists of 32 letters. The alphabet is phonetic, with each letter corresponding to a specific sound. Montenegrin, like other South Slavic languages, has a complex grammar system. Montenegrin vocabulary shares similarities with Serbian, Bosnian, and Croatian, as they are all part of the same language continuum. However, there are some differences in vocabulary and pronunciation, reflecting regional variations and influences. Montenegrin can be written using both the Latin and Cyrillic alphabets. While the Latin script is more commonly used, the Cyrillic script is also recognized and used in official documents, publications, and education. Montenegrin has a literary tradition that spans several centuries.
