Hi,
I have been wondering the same thing. Not specifically for this language combination, but in general.
There are community rates for translation, but there aren't any for subtitling, if I am correct.

It would be really helpful if there were. Since certain big companies, like HBO, are putting themselves on the streaming market, there are a lot of subtitling job posts nowadays. However, the rates the agencies are willing to pay seem unreasonably low, considering that this is a multi-billion market and undoubtedly huge profits are made.
In my view, the agencies posting these jobs should either negotiate better deals, or be willing to share a bigger part of the profit with the translator, or both.
In general, agencies are not willing to pay the translator more than 6 USD per minute video and there are quite some who pay even less, which, in my view, is not acceptable, considering that subtitling is quite a time consuming job, which requires specific skills. ▲ Collapse

As a newcomer to subtitling, can I just ask the $6 rate, does that come with the transcription ready for the subtitler to use. Or do you have to transcribe it yourself first because the two are very different jobs.....

| 6 Dollar per Video minute is hardly enough | Apr 21, 2022 |
if you get script, templates (meaning timecodes) and if the video is easy to translate.
