TV Show Subtitle Translation
Budget: $2 – $8 USD
I need to have a set of TV-show episodes fully subtitled, with each line translated and timed accurately from the original audio. You will receive either the raw video files or a draft script—whichever you prefer—and the finished work must come back as clean, UTF-8 encoded .srt files that drop straight into our post-production workflow.
Please use a professional subtitle editor such as Aegisub, Subtitle Edit, Final Sub, or a comparable tool. The cues must respect the standard two-line maximum, stay under 42 characters per line, and keep the reading speed below 17 cps to guarantee on-screen legibility.
Deliverables
• A synced, proof-read .srt file for every episode
• Brief notes on any word-play or cultural references you needed to adapt
Acceptance criteria
• No dialogue missing, duplicated, or overlapping when tested in VLC
• Time codes match the official episode runtime within ±50 ms
• File names follow the episode codes I supply exactly
When you respond, mention the language pair you cover, how many minutes of finished video you can comfortably handle each day, and one example of similar long-form TV work you’ve completed so I can judge fit and turnaround.
