We have a potential project involving a series of short videos. 3-5 minutes each. They are mission-style videos that are in English. We need them translated into Kinyarwanda.
We will create a source English .srt subtitle file on our end. An .srt file is a very basic subtitle file type that can be opened and edited in Notepad, TextEdit, or any subtitling software if you have it. For this workflow, we’d only need you to replace the English with your Kinyarwanda translations.
We would NOT need you to change any of the timecodes in the file.
As far as formatting guidelines go, we are normally limited to 2 lines of translated text maximum per subtitle and about 50 characters per line.
We will also provide you with the source videos for the projects we give you for reference. We only need the translated .srt file as a deliverable
.
Because of the way in which our sales department needs to quote projects for clients, we’ll need you to provide your rate in a format of US dollars per video minute for translation projects.
We pay via Paypal, corporate check, or bank transfer net 30 days after receiving your invoice after the project is completed. We do not cover any payment fees incurred by banks. Just so you are aware, our bank (Bank of America) has a $45 flat fee for international transfers. We do not use POs. Instead just include the video file names as line items on your invoices.
