Why translate English videos into Portuguese?

Portuguese is spoken on four continents, and Brazil alone is one of the largest video audiences in the world. Brazilian and European Portuguese are different products: vocabulary, pronunciation and grammar differ enough that a generic version sounds foreign in both markets. We produce the variant your audience needs, or both.

What matters from English to Portuguese

  • 01

    Two products, not one

    A Brazilian dub sounds foreign in Lisbon, and the reverse is also true. The variant is an explicit production choice.

  • 02

    Portuguese runs longer

    Portuguese needs more words than English for the same content. The translation is calibrated per segment to keep sync.

  • 03

    Vowel reduction in European Portuguese

    European Portuguese reduces unstressed vowels, which is demanding for synthetic voices. Samples are checked by ear before production.
