A few agencies seem to think otherwise :-) Jun 13, 2010

No CATs for this kind of translations!

If you have any respect for audiovisual translations you don't even think about using CAT to this kind of translation.

What is really good for "common" translations is bad for film and literature.


It's not frequent, but I've seen a few job ads where agencies preclude non-Trados owners (yep, they won't accept WordFast instead) from contacting them, in spite of the job requiring translation from script-less video. (I've seen this more often for interpreting jobs!)

It seems that these gullible people read somewhere that Trados owners translate anything better and cheaper.

Sub workshop Jul 28, 2010

I use Subtitle workshop for all my subs. I think it’s the best you can find. You can load any srt file, change texts, and, if needed, change timings for each subtitle (you do have to change timings when translating because the original and translated text differ in length). You can set timings for a specific number of characters, and subtitling with sub workshop is just a piece of cake.

Translating subtitles Mar 27, 2019

This might not be the speediest way to translate subtitles if it's a once-off project, but if you're translating a lot of similar content repeatedly and want high-quality subtitles, this could save you time in the long-run: https://www.pairaphrase.com/best-way-translate-subtitles-professional-videos/

Hope this helps!

Automatic translator Jun 14, 2019

I agree with you guys but I am working as a subtitles translator with Netflix and I am using https://translatesubtitles.com to translate and then I manually correct words and that can save you a lot of time then translating subtitles via voice or something else.

I'm working for some asian streamline agency, and I think the current AI tools not too bad Dec 20, 2024

I've tried most of the products in the posts, and for non-specialized content, I can perform well in 80% or more of the cases, but I still need human intervention to proofread and edit the translation to make it even better.
Undoubtedly, technological development is making this process more efficient. I have been using https://subtitlesdog.com recently, which offers a variety of pre-set roles.
