Video / Audio
Up your multimedia game with video and audio translation along with the tech skills to deliver a professional, finished product.
The Sights & Sounds of the World
It can be a real struggle when you need audio or video translation in another language. Not only do you require the ability to translate, but also the technical skills involved with video and audio production.
For 40 years, International Contact, Inc. has assembled the best native-speaking talent, paired with expert technical know-how, to produce your audio and video in virtually all foreign languages with the same high quality as the English original.
Native Talent
We employ native voice talent for the audio you need translated. Whether it’s a brief, informative message, a radio commercial, or a creative work for entertainment purposes, we’ll find the right native voice to suit your project.
Audio Production
Employing the right voice talent from around the world, we’re able to make faithful reproductions of your audio in whatever language you need, complete with the high sound recording quality to maintain the professional feeling of your creative.

Video Production
Video translation involves an extra layer of tech needs beyond audio. For your video needs, we can accomplish your translated work in a variety of ways, depending on the nature of your project and the production value you’d like to put forth. This can include voice narration, subtitles, and even dubbing with quality voice acting talent. Don’t worry, the dubbing won’t resemble a 60s foreign film.
We use 4 principal types of video adaptation.
U.N. Style Interpretation
In this style, the original audio can be heard in the background, and the script is narrated and not acted. Documentaries and news programs often use this technique.
Subtitles
The most affordable option, subtitles will display a written translation on the screen.
Semi-Sync
This style will sync up the dialog with the speaker on screen to an approximate degree, but it is not a complete lip sync.
Complete Lip Sync
The most expensive option, the translated audio will be matched up with the lips of the speaker on screen.
For examples of these types of video translation projects, see our Sample Portfolio page.
