Script adaptation for dubbing services

What is Script Adaptation?

The line between a good video that brings viewers with authentic viewing experience and a bad video with mismatched audio and inappropriate languages can be crossed easily if you don’t pay attention to the key step in the dubbing process – Script adaptation. Script adaptation is the process of re-creating the original dialogues of a video to match its length, structures, lip movements, and the culture of the country where you need to spread your product. A well-adapted script with little evidence of the original voices replacement or inappropriate languages is likely to evoke strong feelings from viewers and leave a good impression on them.

Apply “”stick-to-the-source”” translation principle during the whole process, including translating, editing and proofreading steps.”	Not only ensure that the original idea of the source language is conveyed but adapt and re-write when needed to fit the target audiences.
Linguistic process	Script translation is actually the very basic step in localizing your audiovisual products into a new language.
