Language & voice planning
A language brief needs more than a language name. The audience, region, writing system, pronunciation and intended use shape the work. We confirm the appropriate language expertise and voice options against your project before agreeing production.
Planning the work
Tell us the source language, target languages and the audience for each version. If you are still deciding, describe the market and the content instead. We will clarify the language variant, tone and production requirements with you; availability and timing are confirmed for the specific assignment.
Specify the audience and language variant
Identify the country or region, reader or listener and preferred level of formality. Share approved examples, brand vocabulary and any words that must remain in the source language. These details help distinguish a direct translation from a wider localisation brief.
Describe the voice and pronunciation
A useful voice brief describes the performance: pace, emphasis, expression and the relationship to the audience. Include references for names, brands and specialist terms. The dictionary can help establish a shared vocabulary without treating descriptive tags as proof of a performer’s identity or rights.
Choose the writing system and format
Translation changes the language of the meaning; transliteration changes the writing system used to represent sound. A performer may need transliterated text as well as a translated script. For on-screen content, discuss character limits, subtitles and reading time early.
Confirm suitability before production
Share your language requirements with the brief. We confirm scope, suitable people or authorised voice options, sample requirements and timelines before proceeding. This page is a planning guide, not a claim that every language or accent is available for every service.
Watch & listen.
