subtitling services provider for international media English Template Titling (ETT) – Also Known as English Subtitle Template or Master Subtitle File

In subtitling and localization workflows, one crucial component sets the foundation for quality and efficiency: a well-crafted English subtitle template — often called ETT (English Template Titling) or simply a master subtitle file. This file serves as the primary source for all translations and significantly impacts the speed, accuracy, and consistency of the entire localization process.

Expertly Crafted English Subtitle Templates Ready for Translation and Localization

 

At Sublandia, we understand that an ETT is much more than a transcript. It is a carefully segmented, proofread, time-coded file prepared specifically for translators working across multiple languages and platforms.

Our team uses years of audiovisual translation experience, strict style guidelines, and proprietary tools to deliver subtitle templates that meet the highest industry standards. From independent productions to eLearning platforms and global localization agencies, our English subtitle templates serve as a reliable base for producing high-quality localized content.

 

 What is an ETT (English Template Titling)?

 

ETT, or English Template Titling, is essentially an English subtitle file with precise timing, professionally transcribed dialogue, and clear segmentation. Also known as a master subtitle file or English subtitle template, this file is not just plain text beneath a video — it’s a reference file that enables rapid and consistent localization into many languages without the need for re-analyzing the video content.

Without a professionally created English subtitle template (ETT), translators spend extra time on basic processing, increasing the risk of errors, timing issues, and misinterpretations. Therefore, having a high-quality ETT file is essential for any serious localization pipeline.
