How much is the monthly salary of an American drama translator, and how much is the average salary o

A: Generally speaking, the translation of American dramas has to go through several links: film source, subtitles, timeline, proofreading, special effects, film pressing, and release. 1、It is difficult for a good woman to get a good woman to cook without rice,The first raw material needed by the subtitle group is the film source。

The source of the film is generally obtained from the ** abroad. There are people in the subtitle group who are specifically responsible for "transporting" the film source, and many of its film sources come from foreign "0-day" organizations. "0-day" aims to crack newly released software, movies, games, etc. within "zero" days and put them on the Internet for free sharing with the world.

They use TV cards to record American dramas and release them to the outside world in point-to-point transmission methods such as BT. Usually soon after an episode of a popular American drama is broadcast, the 0-day organization will release this episode of the TV series on BT** abroad**, but there are no subtitles, which is the source of the subtitle group. 2. Subtitle productionFor some popular American dramas, the subtitle team has members abroad who are responsible for recording English subtitles.

The recording staff transmits the English subtitles to the subtitle director, who hands over the English subtitles to the translator, who is responsible for translating Chinese. Some American dramas can be subtitled in foreign forums**. If there are no ready-made subtitles, the subtitle group can only choose the most painful translation method - listening and translating.

3. After the timeline translation is completed, the person in charge of the timeline will take over. Subtitles need to be accompanied by a timeline, i.e. "From minutes and seconds to minutes and seconds, what a certain character said". Making a timeline requires patience and meticulousness, and if you are not careful, you may get the right time point right.

4. Proofreading is the final check before the film is released. It is usually done by several translators, and the language style is required to be as uniform as possible. And also to modify some sentences that are not colloquial enough.

5. Special effects may need to be added in the middle from the completion of the timeline to the completion of pressing. For example, make special effects for lyrics and logos, add animation effects such as subtitle font appearance or disappearance, or change font colors and other static effects to make ** look more beautiful. 6. Pressing the subtitles of the film source and translation proofreading to the pressing, and the relevant software can be pressed into the film.

7. After the release is pressed, the publisher uses various P2P software or FTP and other spaces to publish the **file or the corresponding subtitle file for users**. It should be noted that in order to meet the needs of the audience, some popular programs often release a preliminary version in pursuit of speed, which may not have time to check or correct the flaws in the subtitles before releasing them. Therefore, a refined version will be added later, that is, after the release, the subtitles will be modified and re-released.
