For creative agencies & production companies
Localisation for agencies and production companies
You have a client, a deadline and a master that will change. We handle the voice, subtitles, translation and dubbing behind it — one project manager, one invoice, however many languages, and rates you can quote from before you have won the job.

Why agencies keep coming back
Your client's deadline is our deadline
When you localise your own content, a slipped day is awkward. When you localise a client's, it is your reputation. That is the whole difference, and it is why the things that matter to an agency are not the things a brochure usually talks about: who picks up the phone, whether the quote you gave last week still holds, and what happens when the edit changes on Thursday for a Friday delivery.
We have been the studio behind other people's work since 2008. That means we are used to staying in the background when that is what the job needs, working to your brand and your client's, and handing you files you can deliver without rebadging anything.
What we take on
The jobs that land on an agency's desk
Usually it arrives as a finished master and a list of countries. From there it is our problem, not yours.
Campaign versioning
One film, many markets — voiced, subtitled or both, to the same cut.
Pitch and test versions
Quick, affordable versions for a pitch, upgraded properly if you win it.
Client corporate video
Internal and external films versioned for a client's whole footprint.
Social cutdowns
Vertical and square edits with burned-in subtitles per platform spec.
Broadcast delivery
Files built to the broadcaster's own timed-text specification, not a generic SRT.
Dubbing and ADR
UN-style, lip-sync or full cast, directed in our own studios.
In-market client sign-off
Adapted scripts and back-translations the client's local office can approve before we record.
Accessibility passes
SDH, closed captions and transcripts when the client's legal team asks.
Rush turnarounds
When the client moved the date and you still have to deliver.
What you get that you would not from a freelancer roster
The bits that make an agency's life easier
A quote you can pass on
Itemised line by line, so it drops into your proposal without you rebuilding it.
One point of contact
A project manager who owns every language, rather than you coordinating twelve people.
Behind your brand
We are happy to stay in the background and let the work go out as yours.
Late changes absorbed
Scripts, timings and casting kept on file, so a re-edit is a revision and not a restart.
Confidentiality as standard
NDAs signed, and nothing of your client's published without your say-so.
One invoice
However many languages, one purchase order and one invoice to reconcile.
What actually goes wrong
The four things that sink a multilingual delivery
Quoting before you have won it. You need a number for your proposal, and most suppliers will not give you one without a call. Our rates are published — voice over from £400 for a studio hour, subtitling from £15 a minute of video, translation from £0.145 a source word, dubbing from £60 a finished minute — so you can build your estimate today and come to us for the exact figure when the job is real.
The master changes late. It always does. Because we keep your scripts, timings and the voices you cast on file, a re-edit means re-recording the affected lines and re-issuing the subtitle files, not starting the language again. The difference between those two is usually the difference between hitting the deadline and missing it.
Twelve languages, twelve suppliers. Sourcing each language separately is cheap until you count the hours spent chasing them, and the terminology drifts anyway. One brief, one project manager and one invoice across every language is the part agencies tell us they actually buy.
Work you cannot talk about. Embargoed launches, unreleased product, client names under NDA. We sign what you need us to sign and we do not put your client's work in our portfolio unless you tell us we can.

Most common questions
Can we use you white label?
Yes. Plenty of our work goes out under someone else's brand, and that is fine by us — we are happy to stay in the background, deal with your client directly if you want us to, or stay entirely behind you if you would rather. Files come to you unbranded, and we do not publish a client's work without your say-so.
Can you give me a price before I have won the pitch?
That is exactly why our rates are published. Voice over starts at £400 for a studio hour plus usage, subtitling at £15 a minute of video, translation at £0.145 a source word and dubbing at £60 a finished minute. Build your estimate from those today; when the job is real, send the brief and we will itemise it properly.
What happens when the client re-edits the master?
We keep your scripts, timings and the voices you cast on file, so a change means re-recording the affected lines and re-issuing the subtitle files rather than starting the language over. It is the single biggest reason agencies stay with us.
Do you sign NDAs?
Yes, routinely. Embargoed launches and unreleased product are normal here. Nothing of your client's goes into our portfolio or our case studies unless you tell us it can.
Can we get one invoice for all the languages?
Yes. One brief, one project manager, one purchase order and one invoice, however many languages are in the job. That is usually the part that saves an agency the most time.
How quickly do you reply?
Over 50% of enquiries get a reply within 30 minutes during UK office hours, and an itemised quote normally comes back within four working hours. If your client has moved the date, call +44 207 095 5730 rather than emailing.
Do you work with agencies outside the UK?
Yes. We are London-based with our own studios here, but a good share of our work comes from agencies and production companies elsewhere who need English-language or multilingual versions produced properly. Time zones have not been a problem; late client changes are the real deadline risk, and that is what we are set up for.

Agencies and production companies who kept coming back
They’re reliable, adaptive and obsessed with quality. And while you can never be 100% guaranteed of perfection, you can be sure GoLocalise will go the extra mile to get it right every time. Whether that’s hiring extra resources, hopping on multiple calls or even changing their internal processes, they’ll do what it takes. We’ve worked with them now for over 5 years and we are truly thankful to have such a strong localisation partner for our business.
It was a pleasure to work with David and the team at GoLocalise. David gave me lots of help and advice, guiding me through my first subtitling project. He really knows his stuff! The experience was completely pain-free. I would not hesitate to recommend GoLocalise – outstanding work at a good price.
We’ve worked with the GoLocalise team on countless video projects and have always had the same consistent, great experience. Not only are they responsive and quick on turnaround, I can always trust the VO will be done right – they are always 100% clear with communication and ensure their talent is prepared to record by asking necessary questions upfront before recording. Highly recommended and will definitely work with them on future projects.
We have used GoLocalise on a regular basis for projects in a number of languages. The service we receive is great. The team is always friendly and professional. The voiceovers we receive are of a very high quality and the turnaround is extremely quick. We are very happy to recommend GoLocalise to other businesses.
Send us the brief
Languages, running time and where it will play is enough to quote. We will come back with an itemised figure you can build a proposal on — normally within four working hours.
