Pink Noise Facilities
TEXT LOCALIZATION / TRANSLATION
Only the best qualified translators take part in every project, optimally selected according to the project characteristics and the translator's profile. Translation is carried out with the latest translation memory and terminology tools, to ensure consistency throughout the text and with regard to previous batches.
Editing and Proofreading
After translation, the documents go through the stages of editing and proofreading. In editing, reviewers thoroughly check that the translation renders exactly the same meaning than the original text and are perfect according to the standards of the target language. In proofreading stage, the proofreader handles an overall reading throughout the target document ensuring that it is perfectly legible, clear and complies with all the cultural and linguistic standards of the intended market.
Quality Assurance Checks
After translation, editing and proofreading, an expert linguist carries out a Quality Assurance test. This implies an additional revision upon a percentage of the total volume of the documents.
Audio Localization / Dubbing
Video game dubbing is very different from traditional dubbing.
It is very usual to have the localized voice-over recording happening almost
in parallel with the original recording. This leads to an interesting project
management challenge.
Flexibility is a key factor: usually final content is still not available
when the foreign language voice recording needs to start. The consequence
is that many unexpected and successive changes need to be considered and implemented
in the process.
In addition, in 98% of the cases, video reference is missing during cinematics
or cut scenes voice-over recording and the dubbing job needs to become a real
craftwork.
At PINK NOISE, excellence in dubbing is ensured by a deep and comprehensive
knowledge of all the steps in the process and the special care we put in all
the artistic aspects and the interpretation. All our video game recordings
are carried out with artistic direction supervision and performed by an ample
cast of top level actresses and actors with strong experience in videogame
dubbing. With this process, the result is comparable in quality to any film
or television dubbing.
