What can I translate Conform to in Swedish as the fourth stage in the subtitling process?

I found this definition of the term here:

https://www.proz.com/forum/subtitling/319112-complex_conform_and_origination_meaning.html
Complex Conform is a rather complicated way of saying: We have an existing subtitle file and need to conform it to the video provided by our client.

It seems to be about formatting of file formats:

capitalcaptions.com/subtitles-and-captioning/video-production-and-audio-to-text-services/
Adding English subtitles to video involves three basic processes: transcription, time coding and formatting. At Capital Captions, we cover them all.

So the four stages in the subtitling process, in Swedish, would be:

1) Transkribering (transcribing)
2) Tidskodning (time-coding, spotting, time-cueing, cueing, timing)
3) Översättning (translation, subtitling)
4) Conform (is there any translation to Swedish for this term?) ▲ Collapse

EMT file (English Master Template file) Sep 7, 2022

I think conform has to do with the usage or not of an English Master Template file. In Swedish, using an EMT file would be Andraöversättning, without it it would be Förstaöversättning. So that you use an EMT file or not for the actual subtitling (translation). Then I suppose there is a third possibility, which is to create the EMT file.

Conformance - Transkodning or Omkodning? Sep 9, 2022

Conformance is about the technical part of subtitling, but what can it be called in Swedish? Transkodning? Or Omkodning?

I found this website where Conformance is listed under Transcoding:
