Dear fellows and colleagues, I am wondering what would be the subtitling rates for projects per minute of subtitling: English-Swedish English-Finnish Software: Subtitle Edit Source: series about politics, 26 episodes, 30 minutes each European market.

It would be really helpful if there were. Since certain big companies, like HBO, are putting themselves on the streaming market, there are a lot of subtitling job posts nowadays. However, the rates the agencies are willing to pay seem unreasonably low, considering that this is a multi-billion market and undoubtedly huge profits are made. In my view, the agencies posting these jobs should either negotiate better deals, or be willing to share a bigger part of the profit with the translator, or both. In general, agencies are not willing to pay the translator more than 6 USD per minute video and there are quite some who pay even less, which, in my view, is not acceptable, considering that subtitling is quite a time consuming job, which requires specific skills. ▲ Collapse | | | Brian Joyce United Kingdom Member (2022) French to English $6 video minute? | Apr 16, 2022 |
As a newcomer to subtitling, can I just ask the $6 rate, does that come with the transcription ready for the subtitler to use. Or do you have to transcribe it yourself first because the two are very different jobs..... | | | Rita Utt France Local time: 18:59 English to German + ... 6 Dollar per Video minute is hardly enough | Apr 21, 2022 |
if you get script, templates (meaning timecodes) and if the video is easy to translate. | | | To report site rules violations or get help, contact a site moderator: You can also contact site staff by submitting a support request » Subtitling rates for potential project with Swedish and English CafeTran Espresso | You've never met a CAT tool this clever!
