Burnt-on Arabic subtitles

One method of subtitling is called ‘burned on’ subtitles, which means they cannot be turned on or off and are always visible. These are also called ‘open’ captions and they are part of the video file itself. Using this method means that multiple languages cannot be shown using the same file, therefore it is necessary to produce multiple versions of the video with the different languages, these can be selected by the user.

Arabic numbers

We often get asked to use Arabic numbers in our Arabic subtitles but “Arabic numbers” are actually the same numerals used in Europe and the Americas. e.g. 123456789. However, our clients sometimes mean to use “Arabic-Indic numbers”. See below.

Arabic subtitle translations – SRT file creation

For Arabic subtitle translation, we would use an Arabic audiovisual translator (SRT file translator) who will create translated subtitles in the target language directly from the video in the source language.

There are many subtitle file formats, such as SRT, STL, and VTT, etc. The file format depends on the platform used to display the subtitles, but SRT files are the most commonly supported. SRT files are time-coded documents that can be imported into the subtitling software, which then puts the correct subtitle in the correct sequence. After this, the SRT files just need a quick tidy-up to ensure the reading speed and subtitle presentation are optimal. These SRT files can then be used to create burnt-on Arabic subtitles.

SRT and STL files are also used to provide subtitles for YouTube, Vimeo, etc. By using these types of files, viewers have the option to switch on subtitles for different languages by clicking the CC button in the bottom right-hand corner. CC stands for “Closed Captions”.

If you require Closed Captions for deaf and hard-of-hearing audiences please let us know, as there are specific rules that must be adhered to. For the US guidelines Click here For UK guidelines Click here

Transcription services

We also offer a transcription service for those customers lacking a transcript of their videos. Adelphi provide time-coded scripts of your videos that are ready to be translated. We will then use those translations for the subtitle text, sending you the files at each stage of the process for you to review and assess.

Arabic on-screen text localization

We also localize any on-screen text and motion graphics etc. into Arabic. Depending on the complexity and how the original was created we might need the original data package it was produced in.
