Somali Video Subtitle Translation
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I have an entertainment clip in Somali that runs for a little under ten minutes, and I need crisp, well-timed English subtitles for it. Your task is to watch the footage, capture every line naturally, and deliver a clean, synced .srt file that reads smoothly to an English-speaking audience. Please keep cultural references intact, land the humor where it belongs, and follow standard subtitle formatting (roughly 42 characters per line, two lines max).
I’m looking for someone who is fluent in both languages and comfortable working in common subtitle tools such as Aegisub or Subtitle Edit so the timing is no more than half a second off the spoken word. A quick turnaround—ideally within two days of receiving the video—would be ideal.
Deliverables
• Fully timed English subtitle file (.srt)
• Optional plain-text transcript of the dialogue (if already generated during your workflow)
Acceptance criteria: accurate meaning, consistent style, and line timing that fits the on-screen dialogue. If you can start right away, please share a brief sample of previous subtitle work so I can gauge style and accuracy.
