Want to subtitle? Let people know!

[sonmachinima]

For “popular languages” such as Portuguese, Spanish, Romanian, Italian, and French, the team is often filled early – sometimes before the first episode. So it pays to check upcoming, not yet started series, and write before the first broadcast.

That’s often the case with Kdramas but less with Cdramas.

[somejuwels]

German teams are often closed for K-dramas before the series started, even before the license, short C-dramas, too. For longer C-dramas it depends on the cast ^^

do you need segmenting help?

[teufelchen_netty_266]

You must first graduate from NSSA or Seg 101 to help out

While talking, some French mods happened to told me the number of French subbers who asked subtitling has been decreasing this year.

For ex:

• On popular Kdramas:

Before:
~10-12 different subbers found before/around the broadcasting

Now: /2
~5-6 subbers in total (some of them asked along the way).

1 exception: +10 different subbers for a very romantic popular Kdrama with idols or big stars

• On Cdramas: same trend (sometimes worst for historical: 1 subber or the mod)

Before: ~ 6 different subbers
Now: 1-3 different subbers, including Moderator translating

Now, to begin/continue a drama, the moderator has to subtitle. Not only at the end or at the edition, they got to intervene.
No edition without subtitles, but the most important is the subtitles for viewers in the end.

We thought that it was because of different trends:

• the generations aged and entered college or graduated and are in active life so less time to contribute.
• easier openings for CMs and moderators positions in general for everyone (Viki staff picking different moderators and CMs), so they turned to this position.
  Like emptying 1 vase (subbing) to fill another one (moderating and managing), but we don’t have a renewal of generations to fill the 1st vase. Once mod or manager, people don’t sub anymore or less when being mod/manager for their overall activity.
• more restricted access (Viki pass) and less possibilities for dramas ppl are interested in (Kocowa)
  (- change of schools program: in college, less time to relax)

It’s not a good picture, like a desert.

Any Chinese to English subbers can check this thread: plenty of projects needing help. This thread was started by Mahoula, and today I updated it.

Channels needing help in segmenting, subbing or transcribing

Updated list November 2019 I checked the list all over again. Sadly most of them are still undone. I divided the projects by needs, so that people don’t have to click on every single one. As we are not allowed to say for which areas the shows are restricted, I just mention “my area”. Whoever knows me, knows what my area is, so if you’re in the same area, don’t bother. This will save you some time. NEED CHINESE-ENGLISH SUBBING 1.https://www.viki.com/tv/32518c-fashion-editress CHINA Needs Chi-En …

Hey~ I’m a native Spanish speaker, but I can speak English very well! This is my third year learning Korean and I could understand it a little bit; I want to write subtitles from English to Spanish since it’s easier for me. I need some projects, so please send me links or contacts from Channel Managers please and thank you!

Hi~ I’m a native Hungarian speaker, and I speak English as well (+ I’ve been learning Korean for 6 months intensively and reached a quite good level). I would like to help translating from English to Hungarian.

If you want to subtitle on any channel, write to the language moderator for your language.

How do you find out who language moderators are?

[whashoo]

Thanks for updating it. Can you tell me what area you are in? You can pm me. Looks like the first one, fashion editress is restricted for me.

[esther3_940]

How do you find out who language moderators are?

When you go to the drama’s main page and scroll down a bit, you will see “The xxx team”. xxx changes for every drama. Click on that and you will see first the channel manager, and then below that, the moderators. Look for your language and click on the picture above it, that will take you to the moderator’s account where you can send her a message saying that you’d like to contribute to drama “xxx” and she will add you to her team and tell you the basics.
