I have a series of short videos destined for social-media release and I need complete subtitle support. Your task starts with listening to the spoken audio, creating accurate, well-timed subtitles in the source language, and then translating those subtitles in both directions—Italian to Swahili and Swahili to Italian.
Cultural nuance is essential; the final lines must feel natural to viewers on either side while preserving the original tone, humor, and informal phrasing typical of social platforms. I work with standard SRT or VTT files, so please be comfortable using Aegisub, Subtitle Edit, Premiere’s caption tool, or any equivalent software that lets you deliver clean, frame-accurate timecodes.
Deliverables for each video:
• Source-language transcript with timecodes
• Italian SRT file
• Swahili SRT file
• A brief note flagging any idioms or references that needed adaptation
I will supply the raw video files as soon as we start; you return the subtitle packages ready for upload. Let me know your turnaround time per minute of footage and any questions you might have about the content style or platform requirements.
