Hello! I’m looking for projects to subtitle from Chinese to Korean (or any available language to Korean). If any team needs a Korean subtitler, I’d love to help out. Let me know if there’s an opportunity. Thanks! 😊 ---

I looked at recent dramas that don’t require a Viki Pass, and after checking many, I could only find two Korean moderators—both of whom seem to have been inactive for over six months. Maybe I should try reaching out to them. ---

> [@abhirami1114\_69](#): > > I could only find two Korean moderators—both of whom seem to have been inactive for over six months. Yes, try reaching out but it’s likely it won’t come to anything. If you don’t have Viki pass it means that you don’t have 3000 subtitles, therefore even if you write to the Channel Manager s/he won’t be able to add you as moderator. The Coming Soon would be the next step, but those will be behind Viki pass. The only thing to get out of this vicious circle is to ask a moderator of a Coming Soon project saying that you’re willing to pay for a Vikipass for 3 months, until you get your first 3000 subtitles. (Don’t start the subscription until you get a place in a project!) It’s very counterintuitive and unfair, to have to pay in order to work for free, and I usually don’t recommend it, but there are cases where it’s the only way. ---

“It seems like getting into a project is quite difficult without a Viki Pass. But first, I want to do my best to join projects without paying for the Viki Pass. I will try to apply and take advantage of any opportunity I can. Also, approximately how long does it take to get a Viki Pass? Thank you for taking the time to share this important information.” ---

Hello, I am from the Netherlands and I like to subtitle Korean projects from English to Dutch. Dag, ik kom uit Nederland en ik wil graag Koreaanse projecten ondertitelen van Engels naar Nederlands.

I reached the 3000 subtitles in less than two months… However, I now realize how lucky I was (and also a little obsessed 😜) Every day is getting harder to find a project that doesn’t come “presubbed” in Spanish, so I asked to the moderators I had worked with to join their editing teams… > [@abhirami](#): > > join projects without paying for the Viki Pass Maybe you could start segmenting? Or translating from Korean to English? or from English to any other language you are proficient with? Best of luck! ---

> [@miracle\_866](#): > > Dutch and Afrikaans are very similar. They are similar enough for Dutch speakers and Afrikaans speakers to **understand** each other, but **that does not mean that any of us automatically has the skills necessary to deliver quality subtitles in the other language**. Please only recruit subtitlers who are either native Afrikaans speakers or who have been seriously studying the language. ---

Apologies for any misunderstanding here, but I was honestly just curious.🥰 I was not going to recruit her/him. For they are different languages for a reason. I hope you were not offended as I have seen in previous posts that you speak dutch. ---

Subbing from Korean to English (and from any Asian language to English) isn’t possible anymore for a very long time already. All the channels are already pre-subbed in English by Viki paid subbers, and lately also in Portuguese, Spanish, and French. ---

> [@blzv1975\_774](#): > > Or translating from Korean to English? That’s not possible anymore since all shows come with English and Portuguese subtitles nowadays, but @abhirami could apply as a Korean translation editor (TE). And for segmenters, there is always a project to join, but you first need to go through the [NSSA training](https://nssaofficial.blogspot.com/p/segging-sign-up.html). ---

Honestly, I’m really passionate about making subtitles, so I’m not that interested in becoming a Korean Translation Editor or a segmenter at the moment. However, if taking on either of these roles helps me get closer to becoming a subtitler, I’d be more than happy to do it while gaining valuable experience. ---

> [@abhirami](#): > > passionate about making subtitles Then your best bet is writing captions (transcribing the spoken language) for Korean shows or translating other Asian shows from English (or the original spoken language if you happen to know it) to Korean. You would still need a moderator to start doing that, though. Maybe @cgwm808 can help you. ---

> [@abhirami](#): > > However, if taking on either of these roles helps me get closer to becoming a subtitler, I’d be more than happy to do it while gaining valuable experience. There are NO MORE opportunities for anyone to become Korean-to-English subtitler. And there will not be in the future either. Because Viki is translating all Korean dramas beforehand. ---

Oh, yes, I’ve heard about that. I should have clarified—I’m actually interested in making Korean subtitles for Chinese or other Asian dramas. But I’m also very interested in making English subtitles for Korean dramas [Previous page](https://discussions.viki.com/t/want-to-subtitle-let-people-know/33.md?page=269) [Next page](https://discussions.viki.com/t/want-to-subtitle-let-people-know/33.md?page=271)
