Commonly Asked Questions About Subtitling
What is subtitling?
How do I know whether I need subtitles, closed captions or transcription?
What languages can you provide subtitles in?
Subtitles are captions. They can best be described as transcribed narrative or dialogue. Usually, they support a video broadcasted on TV, or in a movie. They can be found in eLearning and training multimedia as well as videos on YouTube and Facebook.
Here are the key differences between subtitles, closed captions and transcription:
Closed captions consist of text that appears onscreen during video, film or television footage. Also known as Subtitles for the Deaf (SDH).
Subtitles consist of text that appears onscreen during a video, film, television footage or animated presentation, such as a PowerPoint video. They are generally intended for non-English speaking audiences.
Transcription is the process of listening to audio or video and accurately recording what is said in written format. Transcripts are often used for reference, research or legal purposes.

Does subtitling my video content really help with Search Engine Optimization?
Are there any tools available to help me assess which languages I should be targeting for subtitling?
Will adding subtitles help my viewers learn better?
Providing captions in the video’s primary language and subtitles in the target languages allows search engines to more successfully crawl everything that is said in your video. This increases keyword density as well as keyword diversity. This allows your video to rank for a range of relevant terms, instead of just what is in your video description, title, and tags. Your videos, and the associated captions and subtitles, are full of relevant keywords that indicate what your video is about, subtitling is an opportunity you don’t want to miss out on. Subtitling allows you to rank and be seen across multiple languages and this positive exposure increases exponentially with the additional languages you target.
If you already have video content published on YouTube, there is a tool available to gauge opportunities for translating your video content through subtitling. Go to the “Build an Audience” tab in within YouTube Analytics to see where your audience tunes in from. If you see a trend of people tuning in to your content from countries whose residents speak languages other than what you are currently publishing in, it may be an opportune time to translate and subtitle your content. Additionally, you can use Google analytical data on your website to gauge where people are visiting from. Again, if you are seeing a pattern of people visiting from outside your country where other languages are spoken, it may be time to translate your content and subtitle your video content into those languages.
There is considerable research that suggests that learning happens best in one’s native language. If you create video training content, then subtitles are essential. Subtitles can help your viewers grasp and retain the information in your videos. It goes without saying that when you make it easier for your viewers to learn, they are more likely to stay engaged with your video content through to the end.
