I have an ongoing Marathi television comedy series that needs crisp, well-timed English subtitles. Because it’s a comedy, the punch-lines and cultural references have to land naturally, so I’m looking for a balance: part literal meaning, part culturally adapted phrasing that keeps the humour intact.

You’ll receive the raw episode video files and any existing Marathi scripts I have. Your task is to translate the spoken dialogue, time-code it, and deliver a clean SRT (or compatible) file that can be dropped straight onto the edit timeline. Standard subtitling tools such as Aegisub or Subtitle Edit are fine—use whatever lets you guarantee frame-accurate sync and consistent line breaks.

Acceptance criteria:
• Translation reflects both the literal content and the cultural flavour of the jokes.
• Timing is accurate to within ±0.5 sec of speech.
• File passes a spell-check and reads smoothly when played back with the episode.

If this first batch goes well, the full season will follow, so consistency and reliability matter. Let me know your turnaround time per 25-minute episode and any previous comedy work you’ve subtitled.
