“I would happily recommend McFelder Translations to other companies, their swift response and attention to detail make them an ideal choice for translations.”
The Challenge
Peak Scientific’s export strategy is crucial for their future, involving numerous exhibitions to promote their cutting-edge products.
To engage a multilingual market, they rely on corporate videos for efficient, cost-effective promotion.
Our challenge was to provide accurate, authentic subtitled translations for these videos, ensuring Peak Scientific can effectively connect with potential clients and present themselves as a true local partner.
The Result
With our expertise in scientific translation, we selected skilled native translators to ensure natural, high-quality translations.
Timing is crucial in audiovisual translations, so we ensured subtitles matched the on-screen content precisely. After adding and timing the subtitles, we conducted a final review for accuracy.
