Case Study: Dynamic Captioning achieves on-time Spanish and English TV captioning for a drama series with PoliLingua

Dynamic Captioning delivers 80 episodes in 3 weeks with PoliLingua

PoliLingua provided translation and captioning services for Dynamic Captioning, a company dedicated to media access for the deaf and hard-of-hearing community. The challenge was to translate and create closed captions for a 3,500-minute Latin American Spanish TV drama series into English and Spanish within a strict three-week deadline, delivering the files in the specific SCC format required for North American broadcasting.

The solution from PoliLingua involved assigning a team of experienced linguists to handle the complex 'tradaptation' needed for the series. They successfully created the required SCC caption files for both languages, exhibiting flexibility to client changes. PoliLingua delivered all 80 episodes on time, enabling Dynamic Captioning to complete their project for the end client as scheduled.
