About Jinglebell

Jinglebell was founded in 1981 as a supplier of

services for the advertising and communications
industry. Since then, the company has worked in
multimedia production and videogames localization,
dubbing and TV production and post-production.

Localization

Jinglebell has pioneered game localization services

since the dawn of the market itself, in 1991.
Through the knowledge and experience weve
gained on hundreds of multilingual localization
projects, we help clients produce high quality
localized versions of their games, not only for the
Italian market, but for other territories too, using
in-country resources and studios.

Translation services

Each of our translators is trained on state-of-theart tools. Each member of the translation team is
an expert on platform terminologies and multiple
game genres, and their translations are executed
under the watchful eye of our experienced project
managers. And while we specialize in European
languages, were able to provide expert localizations
in just about any language by tapping into our
network of trusted companies, specialized in
videogame localization, outside Europe. We have
the experience and know-how to handle translation
projects of any kind, in any work environment
requested by our clients, from the most popular
CAT tools to proprietary solutions.

Audio localization and dubbing services

Jinglebells Milan headquarters offers four 5.1
recording studios, two post-production suites, one
Dolby E mixing room based on an Icon control
surface and a state-of-the-art recording studio
exclusively dedicated to music productions. Since
voiceover production plays a critical role in video
games, its important to ensure that the voice
acting is not only of the highest possible quality,
but that it also perfectly matches the tone and
delivery of the acting in the original game. The
localized versions of a game must match the high

quality of the primary version in order to support

and enhance the game publishers international
reputation and sales. At Jinglebell, audio quality
is ensured through a talented team of dubbing
directors and engineers who are fully dedicated
to the nuances and demands of localization.
Recordings are solely realized at selected in-country
recording facilities, always performed by nativespeaking voice talents. We do all of our final audio
post-production work for all languages, as well as all
quality assurance tests, at our headquarters in Milan.

Jinglebells audio productions are not limited to the

game localization field: we work for the advertising/
commercial industry and provide dubbing services
for the TV and web series of customers like
Disney, Discovery Channel and Ankama. Also, the
availability of a professional recording studio fully
dedicated to music productions, and our expertise
in creative musical work, means that we are capable
not just of adapting/localizing lyrics, but also of
creating original soundtracks (music/sound effects)
and songs for our clients.
