Swedish subtitling services

For most commercial content, no. The written standard is shared, and a single file works across both markets. Finland Swedish carries its own vocabulary and, more importantly, its own official and institutional terminology, so for public sector, legal, or healthcare content aimed at Swedish speakers in Finland, we recommend a market-specific review.

No. The three languages are mutually intelligible to a degree in speech, which leads to the assumption that one file might serve the region, but they are separate written languages with distinct spelling, vocabulary, and grammar. Each market needs its own version.

Yes. Beyond ordinary subtitles we build SDH files carrying sound effects, music cues and speaker labels for deaf and hard-of-hearing viewers, laid out to whatever specification your broadcaster works to.

Most short videos come back within 24 to 48 hours. From there it depends on running time, whether we transcribe the Swedish audio before we translate, and the number of formats leaving with the job. Whatever the answer, your project manager confirms the timeline up front.

Swedish subtitling is quoted by the minute of video. Sweden watches subtitled content daily and public-service norms set a high bar for timing, so spotting matters; the rest of the cost follows running time, whether a transcript exists already, SDH or burned-in output, and formats. Quotes are per project, and our Price Match Promise stands behind them.

Yes. Beyond translating into Swedish we caption Swedish video in its own language, SDH included — what accessibility teams ask for, and what makes a clip work with the sound off. If the audio is already Swedish and all you need is accurate text on screen, that is core to our Swedish captioning service.

Certainly. With a transcript or SRT in hand we spot and time from it to the reading speeds Swedish audiences expect. Otherwise we transcribe the Swedish audio first. Every file goes through the same linguistic and technical QA.

All the common ones. We hand over SRT, VTT, STL and TTML that drop straight into Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Camtasia and the usual online editors — or burnt into the frame as a finished MP4/MOV, if you would rather not deal with 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.
