Subtitling Agency in Beijing — Simplified Chinese & Multilingual Subtitling Services

Ekitai Solutions is a professional subtitling agency headquartered in Beijing, serving content creators, production studios, enterprises, and OTT platforms that need accurate, culturally adapted subtitles for Chinese and global audiences. Our native-language subtitling specialists combine deep knowledge of Simplified Chinese linguistic standards with technical fluency across all major subtitle formats and delivery pipelines.
Whether you need Simplified Chinese subtitles for a feature film, English captions for a corporate training video, or multilingual subtitles for a global OTT rollout, Ekitai delivers precision, speed, and cultural accuracy — at scale.

What Is a Subtitling Agency and What Does Ekitai Do?

A subtitling agency translates and time-synchronizes on-screen text so that viewers can follow video content in their own language. Unlike simple transcription, professional subtitling requires linguistic accuracy, correct subtitle timing and display duration, compliance with platform-specific formatting rules, and cultural adaptation for the target audience.
Ekitai Solutions handles the full subtitling workflow — from script translation and spotting (timing assignment) to file formatting and quality assurance — so you receive broadcast-ready subtitle files without the need to manage multiple vendors.

Why Beijing-Based Subtitling Expertise Matters for the Chinese Market

Subtitling for mainland China is distinct from general Chinese-language subtitling. Key considerations include:

Simplified Chinese vs. Traditional Chinese

Mainland China uses Simplified Chinese script, while Taiwan and Hong Kong use Traditional Chinese. A subtitling provider without China-market expertise may deliver the wrong script variant, causing rejection or re-work.

Platform-specific subtitle standards

Major Chinese streaming platforms — including iQIYI, Youku, Bilibili, and Tencent Video — each have their own technical requirements for subtitle file format, font size, character count per line, and display timing. Ekitai’s team is fluent in these specifications.

Regulatory considerations

Content distributed in China may be subject to review by the National Radio and Television Administration (NRTA). Our linguists are aware of content sensitivities and compliance norms relevant to subtitled media.

Pinyin and phonetic annotation

For educational or children’s content, subtitles may require Pinyin (romanized phonetic notation) alongside Chinese characters. Ekitai supports this specialized format.

Our Beijing presence means our subtitling teams are embedded in the language, the culture, and the media landscape — not simply translating from afar.

Frequently Asked Questions About Subtitling in Beijing

Subtitling pricing depends on video length, language pair, turnaround time, and required file format. Ekitai offers transparent per-minute pricing with no hidden fees. For a standard 60-minute corporate video translated from English to Simplified Chinese, pricing typically ranges from USD 200–500, depending on complexity and deadline. Request a free quote for an exact estimate within 24 hours.

Standard turnaround for a 30–60 minute video is 3–5 business days, including translation, timing, and QA. Expedited turnaround of 24–48 hours is available for urgent projects at an additional fee. Very short social media clips (under 5 minutes) can often be turned around same-day.

Subtitles translate spoken dialogue for viewers who speak a different language. Closed captions (CC) are primarily designed for deaf or hard-of-hearing viewers and include not just dialogue but also sound effects, speaker identification, and other audio information. Ekitai provides both services — subtitling for language access and captioning for accessibility compliance.

Yes. Ekitai is experienced in delivering subtitle packages formatted to the technical specifications of major Chinese platforms including iQIYI, Youku, Bilibili, and Tencent Video, as well as international platforms such as Netflix and Amazon Prime. We provide the correct file format, encoding, and metadata for each platform.

We offer both. For mainland China distribution, we produce Simplified Chinese subtitles. For Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau audiences, we produce Traditional Chinese subtitles. We can also handle conversion between the two scripts with appropriate linguistic review, as direct script conversion without review often misses regional vocabulary differences.

Every subtitle project at Ekitai goes through a two-stage review: a translator produces the first draft, and a senior language reviewer checks it for accuracy, timing, formatting compliance, and consistency. For broadcast and OTT deliveries, we additionally run automated QC checks for reading speed, line length, and minimum/maximum subtitle duration before delivery.

We can work from either. If you provide a clean script, we can translate and spot it against the video for timing. If no script is available, we transcribe directly from the video. Providing a script typically reduces turnaround time and cost.
