Galician subtitling services

The official one set by the Real Academia Galega, unless you ask for something else. That is what Spanish institutions work to and what the streaming style guides name, so it is the safe default for anything going to a platform or a public body. If your organisation writes in the reintegrationist standard, we follow your house style instead and keep the whole project consistent with it.

Not wrong, just written in the other standard. Reintegrationist Galician spells the palatals nh and lh where the official standard uses ñ and ll, so caminho and camiño are the same word. What matters is that one file does not mix them. We tell you which one you have received and convert it if the destination expects the other.

Yes, and it is editorial work rather than search and replace. Some correspondences are regular, but the fricative written x splits into j or g depending on the word's history, and endings change with it. A native subtitler goes through it word by word, then we re-check line lengths, because nh is a character longer than ñ and some lines stop fitting.

Most Galician audiences do read Spanish, and that is exactly why the Galician version reads as a choice rather than a necessity. Public bodies in Galicia work in the language, broadcasters commission in it, and in the 2023 household survey more than eight in ten residents said they speak it well. For content aimed at that market it is the version people expect.

It starts at £18 per minute of video. Running time moves it, as does whether we transcribe the Galician audio first, whether you need SDH or a burnt-in master, and how many formats come out at the end. Agreeing the spelling standard and keeping the file consistent with it is part of the work rather than an extra. Every project is quoted individually with our Price Match Promise.

Yes. Same-language Galician captions and SDH are a large part of what we do here, for accessibility teams and for social video that plays muted. There is no translation step, so the work is transcription, spotting, condensing and reading speed — and the same decision about which spelling standard the file is written to still has to be made before anyone types.

Certainly. We spot and time from what you send, and the first thing we look at is which standard it was written in and whether it is consistent throughout — mixed files are common when material has passed through several hands. If there is no transcript we produce one from the Galician audio. Either way the file gets the same linguistic and technical QA.

All the common ones. We deliver SRT, VTT, STL and TTML that carry Galician accents and the ñ intact into Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve and the major online editors — or burnt into the picture as a finished MP4/MOV, so the spelling you signed off is the spelling on screen.
