Hello everyone,
If anyone has blank subtitling translation tests from the subtitling companies, would you mind forwarding them to me?
I would really appreciate it. I am trying to train myself as a subtitler .
Thank you very much,
Lenka

I don't have any subtitling tests, but was wondering if you (or anyone else out there) could tell me how to go about becoming a subtitler. It's something I have always been interested in doing, but I'm not quite sure how to go about doing it - are there exams/courses to take? Any helo would be greatly appreciated - and good luck Lenka with findint those tests!
Best wishes,
Paul

Hi Paul,
If you are in London, you can attend a \"Subtitling conference\" there which takes place between 6.-7. February, I believe. Check www.surrey.ac.uk/LIS/CTS/insomanywords.htm. Also, under my name is another posting called \"Subtitling\" where you can find some very useful links.
Good luck!

Hi Lenka,
I have an old test but I can only find the text-strings file and not the accompanying visuals for the relevant scenes. either I've deleted its mpg file or I was sent a cd for that test which I've since misplaced or written-over. Subtitling of course can't truly be done with justice without the assistance of visuals. However the scenes were those of a well-known movie. I'm sure the title is carried by Blockbuster, Netflix or any other video/dvd rentals. Email me if you think what I have might work for you and I'll send the file over.

Oh, anything would be helpful! Please, do send it. I was surprised to read what you had to say on this. I was sent a translation test for subtitling by this company (consisting of a documentary, interview and lots of idioms, puns etc.) , but the script was not accompanied by ANY visuals. I did not find it too difficult to translate, althought had I known the "whole story," I guess it would have helped - for sadly, I did not get the job ... See more Oh, anything would be helpful!

I am now trying to find other tests, try again and consult it with people that are professionals in this field, as I would like to find out what might have gone wrong.
Thank you again,
Lenka

Hi Lenka,
In my first email to them, I mentioned no previous subtitling experience, but they sent the test with guidelines on how to translate it. It's as if they said
"Well, we know you'r NOT a subtitler but we reviewed your profile and found that you ARE a good translator-victim!!"
By the way, I passed a recent subtitling test successfully sent to me by a respectable, yet pays-very-low-rates

If you want this test sent to you, You can send your payment ($30) to my ordinary address

Hi guys
I'm quite surprised you ask $30 for a test. The request is from somebody who needs help and hints from professionals, not a business matter...
I'm quite surprised, and wouldn't ask for your help, eventhough I may need it too...
Cheers
Lilyrose

LilyRose, I think the $30 payment was just a joke, otherwise I would be quite surprised, too. Anyway, if you need subtitling tests, I'll be happy to help you - free of charge
