hola soy nueva puedo traducir de ingles a español

Hey. I do not know how to open a new subject but this thread seems in the field of my question.

To MODERATORS and CHANNEL MANAGERS:
I do not know how it works for you.
Do you have to make either a google doc with the list of what has been subtitled and needs to be subtitled or not?

I am asking because I offered to translate, contacted the moderator and she told me that I had to find out by myself which episode and which part to translate !
Really, I am sorry to say, but this is weird

As subtitlers we take our free time and VOLUNTEER. I found her answer very upsetting

Hello,

I don’t know who’s the moderator, but that’s weird indeed.
The most part of moderators (in any case, for French teams, since I see you’re French subtitler from what I can see on your profile) use google sheets or Team Discussion and you just have to go on it you will see right away which parts are in need of subtitles. So I don’t really understand why a moderator would tell you to find by yourself the episode and part to translate.

I don’t know about what the moderator has told you, but what I’m used to as a mod:

  1. let team members leave a message in the team discussion as to which parts they have completed or,

  2. (preferred method) Make a progress sheet of all the episodes. The subbers can select which parts they want to do / tell others what they have finished and I can tell them what episodes they can work on.

Did she mean that you had to look in the team discussion? If not, don’t know what to say…

Saw that :smiley: But yes, I found it really weird when I read the message from @laetitvmondiale maybe is it a new moderator without experience? Don’t know, but all “old” French moderators use Team Discussion or google sheets.

It’s probably a misunderstanding on the part of the subber.

Hello, Thanks a lot for your feedback.
No, not a comment in the team discussion. The moderator told me to manage by myself and find out which episode and which part to sub.
I have never got such a moderator previously, and most moderators do with a Google doc or by messages on Viki. Hence my question, if there was this “weird” method from moderators

Hello, I will reply in English though I think you are a French team, so others can benefit from the replies.
She (I suppose she) wrote that she did not know about google doc or sending messages
She added that I had to manage by myself since she never got the info herself on which episode to start the subtitles…

I personally think it is inefficient. It is not like I have nothing to do during my days…

PS sorry for late reply, had trouble with internet

You’re right, it is weird. No, there’s no such method that I’ve ever heard of. A moderator, the name says it, has to organize, moderate, synchronize and guide her team. If she’s not doing this, she is not qualified to be a moderator. And of course it’s her job to have all the relevant info about the episodes and communicate it to her team. If she’s unsure of something, she can always contact the CM. If the CM doesn’t respond, reach out to Viki and report the inactive CM. I mean, “do something”, not just sit and look at the ceiling.

Hello, Thanks a lot for your feedback. It helps to see what a moderator does… and if I got it, she should have given me the episode and part to be translated.
