The audiovisual translation company behind the screen
Subtitling, dubbing, voice-over, transcription and script translation in 25+ languages, from one team with platform-grade delivery standards.
An audiovisual translation company translates content that is watched and heard: films, series, ads and corporate video, through subtitling, dubbing, voice-over, transcription and script translation, each with its own technical craft. Orion Translations provides the complete AV set in more than 25 languages, with team experience on Netflix and Sony productions, from Barcelona since 2009.
AV translation is translation under a stopwatch
A document translator serves the text; an audiovisual translator serves the text, the clock and the picture simultaneously. Subtitles must be readable before they vanish, dubbed lines must end when mouths close, voice-over must fit the edit. Meaning that cannot meet its timing constraint has to be rebuilt until it can.
That triple discipline is why AV translation is a specialisation and why we staff it with dedicated professionals per format: subtitlers, dubbing adapters, voice directors and AV transcribers, sharing one glossary per client so every deliverable tells the same story.

How much does audiovisual translation cost?
Per minute of content by format: subtitling the economical entry, voice-over the middle path, full dubbing the premium tier, with series and library volume bringing rates down. Combined packages share transcription and adaptation work, which is why one AV company beats format-by-format vendors on both price and consistency.

English-Spanish, both directions, both Spanishes
Our specialist axis: English content entering Spanish-speaking markets with the Castilian versus Latin American decision made properly (dubbing, subtitling), and Spanish originals going global through English dubs and subtitles. One glossary per title keeps every version coherent.

Frequently Asked Questions
- A company specialised in translating content that is watched and heard rather than read: films, series, corporate video, ads and e-learning, through subtitling, dubbing, voice-over, transcription and script translation. Each format has technical constraints (reading speed, lip-sync, timing) that ordinary translation never faces, which is why AV translation is its own profession.
- The complete set: subtitling (including SDH and closed captions), dubbing with casting and studio production, voice-over, audio and video transcription, script and screenplay translation, and localisation of trailers and marketing material, in more than 25 languages with English-Spanish as the specialist pair.
- Per minute of content, with the format setting the range: subtitling is the most economical, voice-over mid-range, full lip-sync dubbing the premium tier. Combining services on one project (subtitles plus dubbing) shares preparation and lowers the total. Send the video for per-format fixed quotes within one business day.
- Members of our team have delivered on productions for Netflix and Sony Pictures, and the agency has provided English-Spanish translation services to Warner Music Group among others. Netflix-spec subtitle deliveries, broadcast formats and festival prints are routine work, from Barcelona since 2009.
- Budget, audience and territory: subtitling is faster and cheaper and keeps original performances; dubbing is more immersive and expected by mainstream audiences in Spain, Latin America, Germany, France and Italy, and essential for children’s content. Many releases carry both. We quote the options side by side so the decision is financial.
- Yes, as distinct variants with separate casts and subtitle adaptations: Spain and Latin America notice each other’s Spanish immediately, and platforms increasingly commission both tracks. The variant decision is made from your distribution plan before any work starts.
- Yes: series run on episode cadence with locked casts and glossaries; libraries are batch-processed with volume rates and consistent terminology across titles. One project manager owns the delivery calendar, and platform specs are verified per file before shipping.
