What gets translated

A real Japanese version, not Norwegian with Japanese subtitles

Subtitling a Norwegian video leaves your audience in Japan reading while the Norwegian audio plays underneath. ngram builds an actual Japanese version: the Norwegian speech is transcribed and translated, a Japanese AI voice re-narrates it on the original timing, the captions are rebuilt in Japanese across kanji, hiragana, and katakana, and any Norwegian titles or lower thirds on screen are re-set in Japanese. Because Japanese is written without spaces between words, the caption lines are kept short and never broken mid-word.

It carries the register across, not just the words. Norwegian leans on the informal du even in business settings, and that flatter delivery becomes proper keigo Japanese with the politeness buyers in Japan expect from a vendor. Bokmål narration transcribes reliably on the way in, and Norwegian names carrying æ, ø, or å stay in Latin script where they belong while the rest becomes native Japanese.

Japanese AI voiceover

The narration is re-voiced in natural Japanese with keigo-level politeness, timed to the Norwegian original.

Japanese captions

Captions are translated and re-timed in kanji, hiragana, and katakana, with short lines that avoid mid-word breaks.

On-screen text

Norwegian titles, callouts, and lower thirds come out in Japanese, not left in the source language.

AI lip sync

Mouth movement adjusts to the Japanese voiceover so a talking-head cut still reads as native.

Why Japanese

Why Norwegian teams translate video into Japanese

Norway ships salmon, vessels, and offshore energy expertise to Japan, and each of those pitches travels further in Japanese.

01

Reach the third-largest ad market in its own language

Japan is the world's third-largest advertising market and strongly favors Japanese-language content. A Norwegian brand film, seafood campaign, or product reel lands with buyers in Japan when the voice and captions are Japanese, not Norwegian with subtitles underneath.

02

Meet the localization buyers in Japan expect

Japanese buyers expect onboarding, support, and training video in Japanese, and English-only material stalls adoption. Norwegian energy and maritime firms that ship technical explainers can hand their partners in Japan a Japanese cut instead of an English fallback.

03

One Norwegian recording covers the Japan corridor

The Norway-to-Japan trade runs on salmon, shipping, and offshore energy, and each of those stories reaches further as a Japanese video. Because Bokmål narration transcribes reliably, a single Norwegian recording becomes the Japanese version without a re-shoot.

How it works

Norwegian in, Japanese out, in four steps

01

Upload the Norwegian video

Drop in up to 1 minute of MP4, MOV, or WebM. Bokmål narration is understood cleanly.

02

ngram transcribes and translates

The Norwegian audio is transcribed, then the script, captions, and on-screen text are translated into Japanese.

03

Review the Japanese version

Pick the Japanese voice, confirm the keigo politeness level, and keep names and product terms the Norwegian-to-Japanese translation should preserve.

04

Export and publish

Export the Japanese cut for the channels, decks, and docs in Japan where the Norwegian original could not go.
