She said it like she meant it.
Netflix Delivery in 6 Days. 28 Languages. Zero Rejections.
A major streaming platform rejected Meridian's subtitle package 48 hours before the locked delivery date. Wrong timecodes, inconsistent character limits, and TTML formatting errors across 14 language tracks. Their internal team had run out of time. They needed 28 broadcast-grade subtitle files — including EN-US SDH — delivered in 6 days.
Full transcript review against original dialogue — 847 discrepancies flagged in the existing files.
Frame-accurate re-spotting across all 28 tracks. Shot changes, music cues, and speaker IDs locked.
Each translated track adjusted to match original spotting. Reading speed kept under 17 CPS across all languages.
Netflix Timed Text Style Guide compliance check — character limits, line breaks, SDH formatting, TTML validation.
All 28 tracks delivered in 6 days. Zero rejections. The client has since become a repeat partner for 11 additional features.
"I've never seen a team absorb a rejection this fast and come back cleaner. Every single track passed first review."
Festival Deadline in 9 Days. 4 Languages. Sundance Accepted.
Yetunde Okafor's feature documentary had 9 days until the Sundance subtitle submission deadline. The film had no subtitles — not even a cleaned English transcript. Festival requirements mandated English, French, Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese tracks, each within strict reading-speed and line-break specifications.
Clean verbatim transcript from scratch — 94 minutes of interview-heavy documentary with overlapping dialogue.
Shot-by-shot spotting pass. Interview subjects, B-roll narration, and archival audio all individually timed.
Translation into FR, ES, PT-BR by native-speaking translators with documentary genre experience. Cultural idioms preserved.
Sundance subtitle spec compliance. Max 42 characters per line, 2 lines max, 17 CPS reading speed verified.
4 subtitle tracks delivered in 9 days. Film accepted to Sundance. The director credited the subtitles as the reason the international jury could engage fully.
"The French translator understood the film. The subtitles didn't just carry the words — they carried the weight."
200 Hours of Compliance Training. 12 Languages. 40 Offices.
Vantara's L&D team had a 200-hour compliance training library with zero localization — all English, all narration-heavy, and all legally required to be accessible in 12 languages across 40 global offices. Previous vendors had delivered inconsistent glossary usage and timing errors that broke SCORM playback. They needed a locked production workflow that could scale.
Industry-specific compliance terminology locked across all 12 languages before a single subtitle was written. 340 terms standardized.
200 hours processed in parallel workflows. Narration, on-screen text, and instructor dialogue each treated separately.
12 native-speaking translators, each assigned to consistent modules to preserve voice and terminology across the library.
Each subtitle track tested for SCORM 2004 compatibility. Timing verified against slide transitions and knowledge-check triggers.
387,000 words localized across 12 languages in 14 days. Zero SCORM errors. Deployed to 40 offices within one week of delivery.
"The glossary lock alone saved us from six months of inconsistency. This is what professional localization actually looks like."
How every frame gets there.
