 +==== Translation ====
 +The spotting is already done, but if you need to put 2 subtitles together, lengthen one for better visibility or whatever, here are the technical standards we use:
 +  * 2 frames before and after shot change
 +  * Max. 42 characters per line.
 +  * Max 2 lines per subtitle.
 +  * Min of 21 frames for a subtitle (=5/6 sec)
 +  * Max 7 seconds for a subtitle
 +  * 2 frames between each subtitle or 12 frames or more.
 +  * attention to the number of characters per line (punctuation and spaces are to be counted)
 +  * be careful with line breaks, sometimes capitalization is automatic
 +  * do not forget the italic formatting
 +
 +==== SDH ====
 +
 +In addition to "​Translation"​ rules, please follow the **Subtitles for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (SDH) Guidelines**.
 +
 +==== Review ====
 +
 +The Reviewer should:
 +
 +  * Watch the whole film with subtitles
 +  * Correct timing
 +  * Correct spelling
 +  * Check that translation is complete against the speech (correct omissions, wrong translation)
 +  * Run Netflix Quality Check and resolve warnings
 +  * Check the translator'​s signature

-If you have the issue "3-11 frame gap => 2 frames gap oder maximum 20 characters per second" ​please choose ​*Tools* -> Apply minimum gap between subtitles+Spotting is already done, don't change it. 
 + 
 +If Netflix Quality Check shows the issue **"min 2 frames gap"**
 +  ​Open Tools > Apply minimum gap between subtitles 
 +  - Min. miliseconds between subtitles: 84 
 +  - Frame rate info: take from video file properties 
 +  - Frames: 2 
 +  - Click OK 
 +{{ :​info:​apply_min.png?​nolink |}} 
 + 
 +After this you should check the audio against the speech.\\ 
 +And if needed you may also adjust the subtitle on the wave.\\ 
 +When you drag and drop you will not extend the 2 frames limit. The tool doesn'​t allow it.\\ 
 +E.g. when I hold and pull the (blue) end I can't pull it more.

 + 
 +==== Translator'​s signature ==== 
 + 
 +If you did the translation,​ please add a subtitle in the end:\\ 
 +Translated by [Name]\\ 
 +in your respected language. Please find Translator'​s credit [[https://​nm.oho2.com/​index.php/​s/​Qjw5njHbEKyk3WQ|here]]. E.g.\\ 
 +{{ :​info:​signature_end.png?​nolink |}} 
 + 
 +you can use pen name at the end of file. 
 + 
 +==== Other tips ==== 
 + 
 +If there is a signature on the screen, use tag {\a6} to move the subtitle above, e.g.:\\ 
 + 
 +**{\a6}**man hat eine Fahrt\\ 
 +und die muss geleitet werden.\\
