Using Lao subtitling services for your media products is an effective method to reach your target audiences when entering the Lao market as most Laotians, especially those in middle age and the elderly prefer watching videos in Lao to foreign languages.
Having Lao subtitles for your movies, TV shows, commercials, or games helps Lao audiences understand the messages you want to convey, as well as eliminating cultural-insensitive elements that may adversely affect the viewing experience of the audiences.
Since audiovisual subtitling needs the involvement of both linguists and technical experts, it is best that you work with a professional Lao subtitling agency. Having a team of experienced qualified Lao subtitlers and technical supporters, GTE Media brings you high-quality Lao subtitling services at a value-for-money rate.

Lao Subtitles for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (SDH)Lao SDH services are intended for audiences who have hearing impairments and do not speak the language used in your media products. Our team translates both videos’ dialogues, descriptions of background noises, etc. from Lao to other languages or from the original language of the videos to Lao. |
Lao Video Timecoding ServicesTo guarantee the subtitles and movements of the videos sync, our team creates a timecode template for your videos. After creating the template, we carefully review it several times to make sure the subtitles display precisely. |
