Major QC Stages
Translation Is Only The Beginning
A subtitle track can pass through several specialists before it reaches
the final Blu-ray. Translation, adaptation, spotting, timing,
terminology control and technical QC are separate parts of the process.
01 — Source Verification
Original Japanese dialogue, scripts, reference materials and
available official subtitle sources are compared before work begins.
02 — Translation
Dialogue is translated or verified while preserving meaning,
character personality, terminology and cultural context.
03 — Adaptation
Literal dialogue is transformed into natural subtitles while
maintaining the intention of the original Japanese production.
04 — Timing
Every subtitle is synchronized with spoken dialogue, shot changes
and comfortable reading duration.
05 — Linguistic QC
Grammar, terminology, character names, missing dialogue,
continuity and translation accuracy are reviewed.
06 — Blu-ray QC
The completed subtitles are tested with the final video,
rendering and Blu-ray authoring before approval.
Six Languages Don’t Mean Six Isolated Translations
All language teams are part of the same localization project.
Terminology, character names, cultural references and difficult
translation decisions are coordinated through a shared localization hub.

Shared Project Database
The Series Localization Bible
Translators do not work in isolation. Each project maintains a shared
reference containing terminology and localization decisions used
across episodes and languages.
Official spelling and naming conventions.
Admiral, Commander, Captain, Kaiser and equivalent terminology.
Consistent naming of vessels, planets, cities and locations.
Military units, governments, factions and abbreviations.
Series-specific policy for -san, -sama, senpai and related forms.
Agreed translations for phrases appearing throughout the series.
Contextual notes available to all translators.
Difficult passages and their approved interpretation.
What Happens When A Translation Isn’t Obvious?
Difficult Japanese expressions are discussed instead of being
interpreted independently by every language team.
Source note
「帝国軍」is being used consistently as the Imperial military
organization throughout this series. I’ve added the context
and episode references to the terminology database.
English confirmed.
We’ll maintain “Imperial Fleet” where the dialogue specifically
refers to the naval force and “Imperial Forces” in the broader context.
French reference checked.
We’ll maintain the terminology used by the established French
translation while matching the distinction in the Japanese source.
Decision approved.
Terminology has been added to the project bible for use
throughout the remaining episodes.

Original dialogue, scripts and available official translations
are examined before localization begins.
Translation & Localization
The appropriate language team translates new material or verifies
and prepares the existing official translation.
Subtitle Editing & Adaptation
Dialogue is edited for natural language, subtitle length,
readability and character consistency.
Spotting, Timing & Synchronization
Subtitles are synchronized with dialogue and adjusted around
shot changes and comfortable reading duration.
Language-Specific Linguistic QC
Grammar, spelling, terminology, missing lines and episode
continuity are independently reviewed.
Localization Supervisor Review
Project terminology, names and difficult translation decisions
receive final localization approval.
Final Video & Blu-ray Quality Control
Subtitle tracks are tested together with final video,
rendering and Blu-ray authoring.
✓ FINAL APPROVED SUBTITLE TRACK
Our Source Policy
What Happens When Official Subtitles Already Exist?
We prefer to preserve a suitable official subtitle translation
rather than unnecessarily retranslating an anime.
The localization team then concentrates on synchronization,
terminology consistency, technical corrections, readability,
episode-to-episode continuity, signs and on-screen text when required,
linguistic review and final Blu-ray playback quality control.
When an appropriate official subtitle translation does not exist
for one of our supported languages, a new localization is prepared
through the complete workflow shown above.
Subtitle FAQ
Yes — we know anime fans want to know exactly what happens
behind a subtitle track.
Who translated the subtitles?
Whenever a suitable official subtitle translation is available,
Euroanime uses the official translation as the primary source.
For titles requiring new localization, subtitles are prepared
and reviewed by our professional multilingual localization team.
Is one person responsible for an entire subtitle track?
Usually not. Translation is only one stage. A subtitle track can
also involve adaptation, editing, spotting, timing,
terminology review, linguistic QC and technical playback QC.
Do translators in different languages communicate with each other?
Yes. Language teams share project terminology and important
localization decisions through the core localization team
and the Series Localization Bible.
How do you keep names and terminology consistent?
Each project maintains a shared terminology reference containing
approved character names, ranks, locations, ships, organizations,
recurring expressions and other series-specific terminology.
What happens when Japanese dialogue can be interpreted in more than one way?
The passage is reviewed against the Japanese source and contextual
material. When necessary, the interpretation is discussed between
the source coordinator, localization supervisor and appropriate
language teams before a final decision is added to the project bible.
Are subtitles checked after translation?
Yes. Translation is followed by subtitle editing, timing,
linguistic quality control and final technical playback testing.
Do you check complete series for consistency?
Yes. Character names, terminology, recurring expressions and other
continuity elements are tracked throughout the project rather
than treating every episode as an isolated translation.
What about signs, songs and Japanese text shown on screen?
When required by the title, written Japanese, signs,
episode cards and other relevant on-screen information
are reviewed as part of the localization process.
Are the subtitles simply machine generated?
No raw machine-generated subtitle track is considered a finished
localization. Technical tools may assist parts of a modern
production workflow, but finished subtitle tracks are reviewed,
edited and quality-controlled by the localization team.
Why does Euroanime use official subtitles when available?
An established official translation represents an important part
of a title’s release history. When the translation is suitable,
our preference is to preserve it and concentrate on preparation,
synchronization, consistency and quality control rather than
replacing it unnecessarily.
Euroanime Localization Studio

Our objective is simple: preserve the character of the original
Japanese production while providing subtitles that are natural,
