Translation for Screenwriters Who Need Fidelity, Not Rewrites.
Story Department applies leading research from fiction translation to keep screenplay voice, pacing, and emotional tone aligned with the original script while preserving semantic meaning line by line.
Semantic Fidelity First
Story Department prioritizes meaning preservation before style changes, so translated lines stay loyal to the original screenplay intent.
Tone Preservation Controls
Built on research-backed fiction translation practice, the system calibrates register and lexical choice without drifting into rewriting.
Human-in-the-Loop Calibration
Editors approve or correct high-leverage snippets, lock decisions, and apply those signals to the rest of the script with drift checks.
