Understanding the value of subtitles

To complement their booth Wolters Kluwer commissioned a brief video which highlights the value of exploration, innovation and creativity for the world of digital information. Featuring a balanced mix of Mandarin and English speakers the video uses subtitles to bridge the language divide for different groups of viewers. This is a simple and straightforward way for companies to communicate across cultures.

Here’s the English-language subtitles and the same video with Chinese-language subtitles. Notice that the video has been framed to allow space for subtitles.
