supertitle
Noun: 1. A projected translation: A supertitle is a textual translation of the lyrics or dialogue of a foreign-language opera, choral work, or stage performance. These words are projected onto a screen or surface above or near the stage, allowing the audience to follow the meaning in their own language without looking away from the action.
Supertitles are used in live performances to enhance accessibility and understanding. They are common in opera houses and theaters staging works in languages unfamiliar to the local audience. - The primary function of a supertitle is to provide a synchronized translation. - They are displayed discreetly above the proscenium arch or on screens to the side of the stage.
- The term "surtitle" is a common synonym, especially in British English and other regions. The two terms are often used interchangeably.
- Supertitles are not limited to literal, word-for-word translation. Effective supertitling involves adapting the text to match the pacing of the music and singing, often simplifying phrases to be read quickly.
- Surtitle (n): A direct synonym for supertitle.
- Subtitle (n): Text displayed at the bottom of a screen, typically used in film, television, or pre-recorded media. Unlike supertitles, subtitles are usually integral to the recorded medium and not a live projection.
- Surtitle
- Projected translation
- Caption (in a broad, non-technical sense for live performance)
The concept is specific to the live performing arts. While the technology is similar, the term is not typically used for translations in film or television (which use subtitles) or for text displayed on a monitor or device held by an individual spectator.
