One Team For Translation, Voice Over, Dubbing & Subtitles

Most projects don’t need just translation. They need translation plus voice over, dubbing, or subtitles. Instead of juggling multiple vendors, you can work with us — one team that handles every step, so nothing gets lost between handoffs. Here’s what we deliver:

Localization
Translating content is only the beginning. For a message to resonate, it needs to be localized to reflect the nuances, idioms, and cultural touchpoints of each region. We go beyond mere word-to-word translation. We localize your content, ensuring it speaks directly to your target audience in a way that feels personal and relevant.

Voice Over
Our professional voice talents will help breathe life into your project.

Dubbing
Our dubbing services will seamlessly sync localized audio with your visual content.

Subtitling
We’ll engage your audience with perfectly timed and accurately translated subtitles.

Over the years we've partnered with Metro AV on a number of foreign language voice over projects. Its team is highly trained and always ready to help, even with projects which needed to be completed as of 'yesterday'. Tim and his associates go an extra mile to make sure the project is 100% accurate and delivered on time.

Emails are responded to very quickly and translations are returned on-time. The process goes very smoothly from beginning to end. My only regret is not discovering them sooner!

Grip Power was expanding to the Japanese market and we were looking for a foreign language production company to help us make some Japanese videos. We needed our videos to be translated and subtitled in Japanese. Metro's team followed all our requirements and delivered an outstanding product on time.

FAQs About Our Translation Services

How much do translation services cost?

Translation pricing depends on the language pair, word count, and whether your project includes voice over, dubbing, or subtitling. Because everything is produced in-house, you avoid the markups that come with outsourced work. Request a free quote and we’ll give you a clear, itemized price for your project.

How fast is your turnaround?

Most translation projects are completed within a few business days, depending on length and language. Handling translation, recording, and post-production under one roof means no time lost between vendors. If you’re on a tight deadline, tell us — rush delivery is often possible.

Do you use AI translation or AI voices?

No. Every project is translated by professional human linguists and voiced by real, professional voice actors. We never use AI-generated translation or synthetic voices. Human-only production is how we guarantee accuracy, cultural nuance, and authentic delivery in all 150+ languages we work in.

Is my content kept confidential?

Yes. We sign NDAs on request and handle all client materials through secure file transfer, with access limited to the team working on your project. We regularly work with government, legal, healthcare, and finance clients whose content requires strict confidentiality.

What file formats do you work with?

We work with any format including video (MP4, MOV), audio (WAV, MP3), documents (Word, PDF), and subtitle files (SRT, VTT). Deliverables are returned in the format your workflow requires, ready to publish.

Do you handle rare or less common languages?

Yes. We provide translation and voice overs in more than 150 languages, including many rare and regional languages and dialects. If you don’t see your language listed on our site, ask us. Chances are we cover it!
