Completed a full multilingual subtitle localization project for a SailGP documentary, handling the entire workflow from audio transcription to final subtitle delivery. The project involved transcribing spoken content, creating accurate English subtitles, synchronizing timestamps, and translating the subtitles into Italian, Spanish, and French while maintaining the original meaning, tone, and context. The documentary contained sports commentary, interviews, technical sailing terminology, event narration, and fast-paced conversations, requiring strong listening, language, and research skills. I created a high-quality English subtitle master file and then localized the content for multiple international audiences, ensuring linguistic accuracy, consistency, and cultural relevance across all target languages. My responsibilities included audio transcription, subtitle creation, subtitle synchronization, translation, proofreading, editing, quality assurance, and final formatting. I carefully reviewed subtitle timing, character limits, line breaks, punctuation, grammar, and numbering to ensure professional-quality subtitle files. Every subtitle version was checked for readability and synchronization to provide a smooth viewing experience. The project consisted of more than 300 subtitle segments and required managing multiple language versions simultaneously while maintaining consistency across all files. Through detailed quality control and careful attention to detail, I successfully delivered polished SRT subtitle files suitable for broadcasting, streaming platforms, educational content, and international audiences. This project demonstrates expertise in transcription, subtitle creation, multilingual translation, localization, SRT formatting, proofreading, and subtitle quality assurance for long-form video content. It also highlights the ability to manage complex multilingual projects efficiently while maintaining accuracy.
