I provide English into Turkish and Turkish into English subtitle translation and subtitling services for video and audio content of all kinds — corporate videos, marketing campaigns, documentaries, TV programmes and social media content.
Subtitling isn’t just translation with a time code attached. Subtitles have to be accurate, natural-sounding, and fit within strict character and timing constraints, all while preserving the tone, humour, and intent of the original. Over the years I’ve built up considerable experience adapting scripts to these constraints without losing meaning — a skill that matters just as much for a 15-second social ad as it does for an hour-long documentary.
