Greek subtitling services

For most content, no. Standard Modern Greek serves both, and a single file works across the two markets. Cypriot Greek differs noticeably in speech and carries its own vocabulary, but written subtitling for Cyprus follows the standard. Where content is aimed specifically at a Cypriot audience and the register is informal, we will raise it.

Generally yes, which affects how much can sit in a line. Rather than raising reading speed or letting lines overflow, the subtitler condenses to fit, preserving meaning and tone within the character limit. This is standard practice in Greek subtitling and part of why subtitling experience matters more than general translation ability.

Yes. Modern formats handle Greek without difficulty, but older broadcast workflows and legacy STL files can still mangle the character set if the encoding is not set correctly. Tell us the delivery specification at the brief stage and we will supply files that conform to it.

Expect 24 to 48 hours on a short video. What changes it is the number of formats leaving with the job, how long the video runs, and whether we transcribe the Greek audio before we translate. Your project manager confirms the date before we start.

Greek subtitling starts at £18 per minute of video. Greek runs longer than English, so condensing the line until the reading speed is comfortable is part of what a subtitler is for. Running time, transcription, SDH or an open-caption master, and how many files leave with it move the figure too. Individual quote, Price Match Promise.

Yes. Beyond translating into Greek we caption Greek footage in its own language, SDH included — the version accessibility teams ask for and the one that works in a muted feed. If the audio is already Greek and all you want is accurate text on screen, that is core to our Greek captioning service.

Yes. We spot and time from your transcript or SRT, condensing wherever a line would otherwise run over and confirming that the Greek characters survived the import. With no transcript we start from the Greek audio. Identical linguistic and technical QA on both routes.

All the usual ones. Greek SRT, VTT, STL and TTML open cleanly in Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve and the major online editors with the character set intact — or we burn the subtitles in and hand you a finished MP4/MOV, so there is no separate file to manage.

Less than people expect: the video, or a link to it, its running time, which platform or broadcaster it is going to, and the date you need it by. A rough cut is fine — we would rather quote on what exists than wait for picture lock and lose a week of your schedule. A named project manager comes back with an itemised quote, normally within four working hours.

More than half of enquiries get a reply within thirty minutes during office hours (Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm UK time), and the itemised quote normally follows within four working hours. After that you have one dedicated project manager who owns the job from brief to final file — not a ticket queue, and not a different name on every email. If it is easier, call +44 207 095 5730 and ask for them by name.

Yes, and it is one of the commonest reasons people get in touch. Tell us it is for a pitch and you get a figure you can put in front of your own client, itemised so it stands up to being picked apart, with no obligation and no follow-up sales calls if the pitch goes elsewhere. If it lands, the quote still holds and we already know the project.

Send it over. Our Price Match Promise covers like-for-like work, and because our quotes are itemised you can see exactly what is being compared — which is usually where the gap turns out to be, in a revision pass, a licence or a delivery format that the cheaper figure quietly left out. If it really is the same work for less, we match it.
