Native German Speaker Needed: Proofread AI-Generated Subtitles for 90-Min Documentary
Worldwide
We're looking for a native German speaker to proofread and polish an existing AI-generated German subtitle file (.srt) for a 90-minute feature documentary. The English-to-German translation was completed using AI and needs a thorough human review to ensure accuracy, natural phrasing, and proper subtitle conventions (line length, reading speed, appropriate line breaks). Given German's longer average word and sentence length compared to English, particular attention to line length and reading speed will be important. Scope of work: Review all subtitle cues (SRT file provided) against the source dialogue for accuracy Correct any mistranslations, awkward phrasing, or unnatural word choices Ensure subtitles follow standard readability guidelines (character count per line, reading speed, proper timing/line breaks where needed), adjusting for German's typically longer word lengths where necessary Return a cleaned, corrected .srt file What we're looking for: Native German speaker Experience with subtitling, captioning, or media localization Strong attention to detail and natural, conversational phrasing Ability to work with SRT file format Estimated time: 4-5 hours Please include examples of past subtitling/localization work if available, and let us know your estimated turnaround time.
