I have a Spanish-language film that needs accurate, idiomatic English subtitles suitable for general streaming audiences. The dialogue is clear and professionally recorded; total runtime is just under 90 minutes. What I need from you • A time-coded subtitle file (.srt preferred) that syncs perfectly with the existing audio. • Natural, conversational English that preserves jokes, cultural references, and emotional tone without sounding literal or stilted. • Careful attention to line length, reading speed, and on-screen timing so viewers can follow comfortably. Source material will be provided as a high-quality MP4 along with a spotting list of scene timestamps to speed your workflow if you choose to use it. You are welcome to work in Aegisub, Subtitle Edit, Final Cut captions, or any other tool you’re comfortable with, as long as the final file imports cleanly into standard platforms like YouTube or Vimeo. Acceptance criteria • Every spoken line is translated; no dropped phrases. • Time codes match the master file with a tolerance of ±0.2 seconds. • English grammar and spelling are flawless. • File passes a QC spot-check at three random points in the film. If this sounds like your expertise, let’s get started.

Hello, For a 90-minute Spanish film, the important part is not translating every sentence word-for-word, but making the English feel natural while preserving the humor, cultural meaning, emotion, and rhythm of the original dialogue. I’ll also treat timing and readability as part of the translation, not as an afterthought. I’ll work from the high-quality MP4 and spotting list, using Subtitle Edit or Aegisub to create a clean, properly timed SRT. I’ll carefully review every spoken line, maintain synchronization within the requested tolerance, and control line breaks, reading speed, cue duration, grammar, and punctuation so the subtitles are comfortable for streaming audiences and import cleanly into YouTube or Vimeo. Before completing the full film, I can prepare a short sample covering a representative scene so you can evaluate the English style, timing, and subtitle formatting. Once you approve the approach, I’ll continue through the complete film, perform a final subtitle QC, and make any necessary corrections so no dialogue is missed. Please send the MP4 and spotting list, and I can begin immediately. I’d be happy to discuss the film’s tone and any specific terminology or cultural references you want handled in a particular way.

Jokes and cultural references are exactly where machine translation fails hardest, not because the words are hard, but because a literal translation of a pun or a regional expression is often grammatically correct and completely unfunny, so the actual bottleneck on a film like this isn't translating 90 minutes of dialogue, it's catching the handful of moments per scene where a literal translation would flatten something that was never meant to be literal. Transparency upfront: I'd work with AI translation tools as a first pass, disclosed clearly since accuracy and natural tone are what you're paying for, then go through every line manually against the actual audio, specifically flagging jokes, idioms, and cultural references for manual rewriting rather than trusting the machine output on those, since that's precisely where automated translation reads as stilted. Time-coding built against your spotting list, checked for the ±0.2 second tolerance you specified, line length and reading speed kept within standard subtitle norms so nothing gets rushed off screen. Delivered as a clean .srt file, every spoken line translated with nothing dropped, ready to QC spot-check at any point in the film. Given the accuracy bar here, would you be open to reviewing a 5-minute sample first, ideally from a scene with dialogue-heavy humor or cultural reference, before committing to the full 90 minutes?

One question decides the effort: do you have the Spanish as a script or .srt already, or only the film audio? If it's audio, transcription is a separate first step and I'll price that in; if you have the text, I go straight to translating and timing. Spanish to English I translate directly. Where I'm different is the subtitle craft, not just the words: I keep reading speed under 17 characters per second, lines under 42 characters, two lines max, and cue in/out points sitting on the actual speech - so the English is comfortable to read at film pace, not just accurate on paper. I run the finished .srt through my own QC pass for reading speed, overlaps, gaps and line length before delivery, and hand you that report with the file. Milestone: I subtitle the first 10 minutes first so you confirm the English register and timing style before I do the full 90.

I’m also comfortable working with spotting lists and adapting subtitles to standard platform requirements. I would be happy to provide examples of my previous subtitle/translation work if needed.
