Duration

Choose Tools → Adjust duration - recalculate chars/sec

Or you may add a couple of milliseconds at the beginning or in the end of subtitle:

Text length

The text should be max. 42 symbols per line.
Max. 2 lines in one subtitle.

You should split the long text between two lines. Read the rules how to split it.

Frame gaps

Spotting is already done, don't change it.

If Netflix Quality Check shows the issue with gaps (3-11 frame gap ⇒ 2 frames gap oder maximum 20 characters per second) just leave it. No need to resolve this issue.

Translator's signature

If you did the translation, please add a subtitle in the end:
Translated by [Name]
in your respected language. E.g.

you can use pen name at the end of file.

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 images before and after shot
  • Max. 42 characters per line.
  • Max 2 lines per subtitle.
  • Min of 21 images for a subtitle
  • Max 7 seconds for a subtitle
  • 4 images between each subtitle
  • 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
