Polish subtitling services

Usually. Polish carries grammatical information in word endings, which adds characters across most sentences, and the absence of articles only partly offsets it. Instead of raising reading speed or letting lines overflow, the subtitler condenses to keep the meaning inside the character limit, which is a translation skill rather than a technical adjustment.

It should follow what is happening on screen. Polish distinguishes formal address, using Pan and Pani with third person verb forms, from informal address between people who know each other. Corporate and instructional content generally stays formal, while dialogue-driven material should reflect the relationships between speakers.

They can, particularly in older broadcast workflows and when files pass through tools that default to a Latin character set without Polish support. Characters such as ą, ę, ł, ś, ż, and ź are the ones that typically break. Tell us the delivery specification and we will supply files encoded correctly for it.

Twenty-four to 48 hours covers most short videos. What moves that is the number of formats leaving with the job, how long the video runs, and whether the Polish audio has to be transcribed first. Your project manager confirms the date before we start.

Polish subtitling is billed per minute of finished video. Poland reads subtitles heavily, and Polish diacritics plus modest text expansion shape the line work; the figure also follows running time, transcription, SDH or burned-in output and formats. Quotes are per project, and our Price Match Promise stands behind them.

Yes. As well as translating into Polish, we produce same-language Polish captions and SDH — the closed captioning teams need for accessibility and muted social. If your video is already in Polish and you just want accurate on-screen captions, that is core to our Polish captioning service.

Yes — where a transcript or SRT exists, we work straight from it, checking that Polish diacritics are preserved in the encoding. Otherwise we transcribe the Polish audio first. Every file goes through the same linguistic and technical QA.

All of them, in practice. SRT, VTT, STL and TTML files that keep Polish diacritics intact into Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve and the major online editors — or burnt into the picture as a finished MP4/MOV if you prefer not to handle a separate file.

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.
