Unfortunately, very few new films and dramas are available for translation nowadays. Viki prefers to bring them pre-subbed in English (sometimes also Spanish and Portuguese) to avoid whining from impatient viewers. There are a few every now and then, though. You’d better write to English Chief Editors and Channel Managers to say you’re available.
For instance cgwm808, kakashiandme etc. Look at recent dramas and find their names on the Team tab.
I see, thank you so much for the information and advice. It is much appreciated!
Many thanks and best wishes!
As someone who’ve been looking for work to translate from English into Portuguese, I can definitely say this is really becoming more and more common. I thought I could use Viki to practice my subtitling abilities, but it’s been kinda difficult :((
Hola, me gustaría colaborar subtitulando de inglés a español. Me recomiendan alguno??
Soy nueva por aquí.
Hello,
I’m looking for projects that need english-romanian subtitles. I’m kinda new here as a contributor but I’ve been on viki as a kdrama consumer since 2016. I’m a romanian native speaker and I’m pretty fluent in english. I also have a lot of free time now so I’d like to work on as many projects as possible. I’d prefer subtitling kdrama but I can do jdrama and cdrama as well if there are projects available. If you need my help, please let me know~

Hello, is there currently any demand for JP → EN subtitlers, or demand for adding more JP subtitles to Japanese shows that don’t have them? (eg to support people learning Japanese).
Would be happy to work on either.

To all new or returning contributors who are planing to post in this topic:
- It is important that you post your Viki profile, as well. Otherwise we can’t sometimes find it manually. And that makes it hard for Moderators to contact you and offer you projects.
- Try not to change your Viki username for the time being.
- Consider joining a user-based D.i.s.c.o.r.d server VIKI Contributor Community where it’s easier for the experienced Viki volunteers to help you, newbies, out: VIKI Contributor Community

Not really. She just got temporarily confused with Discussions embedding every single profile link with a huge frame.
I’m fluent in Japanese & Hindi too and would love to start translating from Japanese to English & I can also write Hindi subtitles (not devangari) cuz whenever I requested to be a Hindi subtitler I got in response that only devangari is needed. There’s even no language called that in the subtitle editor language list on Viki, I don’t understand. Can someone recomend me moderaters that need Hindi subbers and (not devangari).
Same goes for Japanese plz contact me if there is any Japanese show that needs English captions I’m always available ![]()
मुझे सचि हिन्दी बोलना और लिखना दोनों आते हैं लेकिन अबतक कोई मौका नहीं मिल यह साबित करने का
P.S I have been learning both languages since the age of 13. Plz do consider my requests!
Hindi is the language, and devanagari is its script.
Viki lists languages, not scripts. Because each script can be used for many languages. For instance in the list you will find “English”, “French”, “Italian”, “Spanish” and so on, but not “Latin script” (because that script is used for many languages and it would be confusing).
The Devanagari script (देवनागरी, romanized: Devanāgarī) is the official script of Bodo, Dogri, Hindi, Konkani, Maithili, Marathi, Nepali, Sanskrit, Santali[b] and Sindhi[c] languages, 10 of the 22 official languages of the Indian Republic, and also of Nepal. It was developed and in regular use by the 7th century CE and achieved its modern form by 1000 CE. The Devanāgari script, composed of 48 primary characters, including 14 vowels and 34 consonants, is the fourth most widely adopted writing system in the world, being used for over 120 languages.
The orthography of this script reflects the pronunciation of the language.
The Constitution of India says:
The official language of the Union shall be Hindi in Devanagari script. The form of numerals to be used for the official purposes of the Union shall be the international form of Indian numerals.
— Part XVII of the Indian Constitution[18]
Being the official script for Hindi, Devanagari is officially used in the Union Government of India as well as several Indian states where Hindi is recognised as their official language, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Mizoram, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand, and the Indian union territories of Delhi, Andaman and Nicobar Islands and Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu. Gujarat and West Bengal also officially uses Devanagari as these 2 states recognises Hindi as their additional official languages.
So what other script would you be using, if not that?
Or do you mean that you would write Hindi using the Latin alphabet? LOL.
Latin script
The Latin script (or Roman script) is the sole official script for English language (Indian English), one of the official languages of the Union Government of India as well as many states and union territories of India.
Indian English is a group of English dialects spoken in the Republic of India and among the Indian diaspora. English is used by the Indian government for communication, along with Modern Standard Hindi, as enshrined in the Constitution of India. English is also an official language in seven states and seven union territories of India, and the additional official language in seven other states and one union territory. Furthermore, English is the sole official language of the Indian Judiciary, unless the state governor or legislature mandates the use of a regional language, or if the President of India has given approval for the use of regional languages in courts.
In short: In India, Devanagari script is for Hindi (and many other Indian languages) while Latin script is only for English.
You’ve been learning the language since the age of 13 and you didn’t know that? (Unless 13 is not such a long ago for you)
