The majority of museums usually offer
an audioguide experience.
Whether it’s an audio tour, a subtitled video, or an interactive tablet experience, visitors prefer to take in content in their mother tongue. We provide audio, video and text translation services in 30 languages.
Museums and cultural institutions are challenging themselves to be inclusive. Translation is making their art collections more accessible to diverse local communities as well as international visitors.
Multimedia content is strategic for museums and for tourist or cultural institutions
Multimedia content is one of the most effective ways museums can communicate with their visitors and improve their experience during a visit, while audio guides allow tourists to discover museums and cities during their stay. In a multilingual world, multimedia content needs to be translated into different languages so we can offer tourists something they understand. An audio and video guide for your visitors is a great way to engage the international market.
Translation of audio guides
Now you can easily have an audio guide in several languages if you wish.
We translate audio guides for tours, museums, and exhibitions in many different languages. We offer specialized voice-over translation services, guaranteeing a high level of accuracy and quality for your content in 30 languages.
We have developed an efficient method for producing high quality multilingual content for audio guides. Our native-speaking translators will translate the script for your audio guide, being accurate with proper names, historical references, and artistic styles for your project. We also pay attention to the wording so that it’s easy to understand. We avoid overly technical words and long and complex sentence structures.
Recording is done by voice over artists, which allows for high quality recordings.

How to produce audio guides and guided tour systems for foreign tourists
Multimedia content is one of the most common ways museums connect with and engage their visitors on-site, and beyond. Consider audio guides or mobile applications as your digital go-to guide and make it available in the language of your visitor’s choice.
- Think of your content as your visitor’s digital companion. Additional texts, images, audio, and video are intended to complement the visitor experience, not overshadow or distract from it.
- A picture is worth a thousand words. Unfortunately, a thousand words do not necessarily paint a picture, so you need to limit the use of lengthy content in your audio guide.
- We suggest limiting your tours to 30 minutes, with roughly 15 or 20 stops. Tours that are too long risk losing visitors, creating boredom or not meeting their time commitments.
- We recommend that you make short audio clips of 1 – 2mn, for every part of the museum visit.
- Video clips should be even shorter, preferably less than 60 seconds, and used sparingly.
