In the real world, however, this is rarely the case. In an ideal world, every company would use Lean principles, and subtitle translation workflows would always be the same. A lot of training may be involved in working with multiple firms, and work flows can vary enormously so make sure you’re fully knowledgeable and up-to-date on subtitling software.
#Working as a subtitler software#
Whilst some subtitling companies will provide online platforms for subtitlers to use to caption work, others may expect you to have your own software and simply to provide them with output files. One difficulty that arises from this, however, is in IT systems. Work can be sporadic from company to company and to keep yourself busy, it’s best to grow as big a client base as possible. When working as a subtitle translator online, it’s best not to put all of your eggs in one basket, as it were. Video subtitling work can be difficult at the best of times, but outside of standard document translation, the content is often far more interesting to deal with so you will likely never be bored. You will likely face some big translation challenges: instructional videos, scientific documentaries and corporate e-learning slides, to name just a few. If you’re looking into providing online subtitle translation, you can expect to work with an absolutely enormous range of topics. In addition, if you constantly turn down fast turnaround work, you may not be offered those cushty longer ones. Time is money, and few jobs have turnaround times of a week for you to squeeze into the diary. The faster you work, the more money you will make and the more reliable you are, the more captioning companies will approach you to take on work. We’ve all heard that freelance work means you can be flexible with your working hours, but that doesn’t mean you can necessarily be flexible with your working days. Working for a subtitling company or translation company often means working to tight deadlines.
#Working as a subtitler professional#
So here’s a run down of some of the challenges of working for a subtitling company in terms of what exactly is expected of a professional linguist. Whilst going freelance may seem like the ‘chilled out’ option in terms of being your own boss, subtitling can be a challenge and if you’re not able to meet agencies’ and clients’ expectations, you may find yourself short of work. Get yourself a good broadband connection, a snazzy new laptop, set up an office in your spare bedroom where you can work in your pyjamas, and you’re ready to go, right?
