1. What are the forms of movie translation and how do you receive movies?
Each movie translation product is made to order. Typically, PLG Translation receives the original movie in two forms.
Firstly, film translation with subtitles can be understood as the customer providing a video clip with text displayed alongside the spoken dialogue, or selecting a previously translated second language in the form of subtitles for the original version. Additionally, customers can also provide the script and time code in the correct order for the original version. This not only facilitates precise translation support but also saves time and cost. This method can be charged based on the equivalent word count like text translation or on a per-minute basis with lower costs.
Second, the film translation without subtitles, which means that the customer provides a video clip without any subtitles or dubbing, containing only visuals, character dialogues, and native voice-over. This method requires a high level of concentration, advanced translation skills, and significant effort to execute. Therefore, the translation cost per minute for films without subtitles is typically higher compared to films with subtitles.

And each translated film result from PLG will be delivered in the form of a detailed and clear Word document, facilitating easy reference and post-production use for the clients. In addition, PLG Translation Services also offers additional services, including subtitling and dubbing on the original footage when clients require additional support.
2. How is the quality of translation guaranteed and ensured security?
With our working philosophy, PLG Translation Services always aims for customer satisfaction. Therefore, in each translation, we place great emphasis on adhering to rules to ensure the translation accurately captures the intended meaning, remains faithful to the original, and utilizes suitable language equivalents for expression. Although it is not possible to apply the customer’s exact wording accurately, as each translation approach may vary, or there may be differences in local culture, we commit to listening, providing suggestions, and making adjustments until the customer feels satisfied with their translation.
Furthermore, according to our privacy policy, PLG Translation will delete all translated versions and original documents after 3 days from the time of delivering the final translation, ensuring absolute customer privacy. In case the customer has not had a chance to review or wishes to propose keeping the documents for further editing or any other reasons, it is advised to proactively contact a PLG representative at least 1 day prior. This not only reflects mutual respect but also showcases the cultural values of the company through promises and a commitment to security, as PLG considers these as professional ethics.
