The best way is to look at the Team tab of any recently completed show and search for the names of Japanese moderators. Write to them, asking whether they have any projects that you can join.

New and returning volunteers in March - May 2024
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.
- Short info on how to find your first project and Moderator to work with can be found here.
- 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

Hi, I am a beginner and about two months ago I was accepted as a subtitler for a drama, I was checking almost every day for updates, but every time I looked there was no progress with the subtitling aspect. Just the day they gave out subtitles for an episode I couldn’t check the page due to personal problems and I couldn’t do the translation, so I don’t know if even if you lose subtitles for an episode, they keep you in mind for the next ones, because it’s very frustrating that after waiting so long I couldn’t participate and let my teammates down. Also I don’t know why, but when I receive several messages the page stops working and I can only log in again the next day.
Thank you very much.
Hi, Alba.
Spanish teams have many subbers and the parts are usually distributed on a “first come, first served” basis. I think you were just unlucky with this episode. And I doubt anyone in your team truly feels let down by you.
Consider applying as a subber on other projects/dramas, so that you have more chances to start contributing 
Good luck!

Hi Alba!
I tell you that it depends on the moderators of the project, some only use the PM of viki for assignments, others use the chatter and others use t-e-l-e-gram, sincerely there are some who use all of them so that the subbers can reach. My co-moderator and I use the PM and t-e-l-e-gram, sometimes assigned parts or parts to whoever arrives, sometimes we even repeat the parts because people do not always arrive.
If you have doubts you can write me.
สู้ๆค่ะ!

Hi, I’m new here at Discussions and found this post. I’ve been on Viki for a while, but have only watched the dramas so far.
I like how many people volunteer their time and create subtitles. I would also like to start, but don’t know exactly how.
I would like to write German subtitles.

Hii! I’d like to volunteer to translate English subtitles to Portuguese. I have experience, both at work and here on viki. I used to be QC Gold but I had to stop translating last year and my status expired. I’m excited to start translating again!

Thank youuu so much
Hi again, I have a problem with subtitling, when I try to do it, it says the video has regional restrictions but the drama is available in my country so I don’t know what is happening.
Thank you
I forgot the title, but there once was a show that most of us could watch, but only Americans (at least US) could actually work on. This is very exceptional, though.
What also happens sometimes is that some areas get access earlier than others.
And in India, some regions may have access while others don’t.
You’d best talk to your moderator or CM about it.

Hi! I can translate from english to french. I have experience here i’m still gold QC. Feel free to contact me if you need help.
Recently I have been applyng for Spanish subtitling teams and even though I have applied very early (like on the day I see the request) I tend to get no response. l don’t know if it is because I don’t have enough experience, I have tried contacting moderator but 1 out of three responded. And I don’t know if it is because they didn’t see the message or they don’t want me in the team, because I see subtitlers being recruited but I am left with no response as to if I am rejected or accepted🥺. Then when it’s too late the say there is no longer space

Hi everyone,
I have been on viki for a long time, especially love c-dramas and k-dramas. 
I would like to start translating from English to Czech
Please let me know.
Enjoy watching.
I would like to see subtitles for english when it is spoken in the movie. That would make all of us hard of hearing members happy. so we don’t miss out understanding what is happening. We depend on English captioning on English shows so we can follow along. Please consider captioning the English spoken scenes in Viki movies. Thank you.
There are ALWAYS English subtitles here on Viki when characters speak English in the video. Maybe you are confusing us with some other streaming platform which doesn’t have them?
Mind you, they are not captions, that is they don’t mention that now music is heard, now the leaves are rustling, now the door is banging. This is not their purpose. But each and every utterance has an English subtitle.
And the reason for this is that on Viki we also have many other languages. If there were no subtitle (and no segment, i.e. placeholder for a subtitle), the other languages wouldn’t be able to translate it.
(Another reason is that often, when Asians speak English, it’s hardly comprehensible )
