Multilingual Translation & Subtitling
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I have a steady flow of material that must move seamlessly among four languages—Arabic, English, French and Spanish—while retaining every nuance of meaning and all original layout or time-codes. The work falls into three clear streams:
• Documents & PDFs: Deliver back fully formatted files where the translated text sits exactly as the source did.
• Video & Audio: Produce perfectly synced subtitles or full transcriptions ready for SRT or burn-in.
• Creative Polish: When it’s a video piece, add tasteful visual or typographic touches so the final cut feels made, not merely translated.
Language directions in scope
• Arabic ⇆ English / French / Spanish
• English ⇆ Arabic / French / Spanish
• French / Spanish ⇆ English / Arabic
I value quality over speed, so show me relevant experience handling any of the above pairs and, if possible, samples that prove you can keep formatting or time-coding intact. Let me know the tools you prefer for CAT, subtitling or video editing, and how you ensure accuracy when switching scripts (e.g., RTL/LTR issues).
Deliverables are straightforward: the translated file or subtitle track ready for immediate use, plus the source project files when creative edits are involved.
