Adil O.
French Subtitler & Translator | SRT, MTPE & QC on AI Subtitles
Native French subtitler and translator. I turn English video into French subtitles that stay readable on screen and land on the right frame, delivered as SRT, VSS. I also run MTPE and QC on AI-generated subtitles: I fix machine and AI output so it reads native. You've probably seen the failures already. Lines that overrun. A cut that lands mid-sentence. An AI-generated SRT that looks fine: until a French viewer spots the machine phrasing in seconds. Closing that gap is the whole job, and it's what I do. I work to your real constraints: characters per line, reading speed in cps, frame-accurate timing, shot changes, your style guide. The result reads like French, written for the screen, not machine output lightly cleaned up. English to French, here's what I deliver: - Video subtitling and captions, SRT as standard (VTT or ASS on request), timed and QC'd - MTPE and QC on AI-generated subtitles: - I fix machine and AI output so it sounds native, and flag the recurring errors your tool makes - Subtitle translation and video localization: corporate, training, e-learning - Transcription, verbatim or clean, with timestamps and speaker tracking - French proofreading against your guidelines How I work: I confirm scope and timing before I touch the file, subtitle in Subtitle Edit and Aegisub, and check every line against the audio and your style guide before delivery. NDAs are fine. Why clients come back: - Native French (France), 8+ years on Upwork, 100+ jobs done - I catch the machine phrasing, mistimed lines, misheard terms that AI and MT leave behind - I flag genuinely inaudible passages with a timestamp. - I go find the real equivalent instead of guessing. - That research is where most of the work hides, and where a lot of people cut corners. Send the file or a sample. I'll check the scope and confirm a timeline before we start, and I'm happy to do a short paid test so you can judge the work yourself.
