About the role

We’re looking for translators to support the production of the first season of the Para-Real. Working in collaboration with New Design Congress, ReclaimFutures and C/O Berlin, you will be collecting recorded material translating 12 episodes for a series broadcast starting June 2022 and continuing over the course of 8-12 months. Each PARA-REAL episode will be approximately 45 minutes in length.

You’ll need to have experience in translating from English into at least one other language. We are looking for assistance with:

Although the series has a generous schedule and you will be supplied with machine-transcribed text, you will need to have a well-defined workflow for translating accurately and ensuring errors in the AI-produced script do not carry over in your work. Your transcription files will be supplied to the production team and added as subtitle files to each episode.

You will be working with timestamped material in English. Transcribing or matching captions for entire episodes from scratch is not expected for this collaboration.

You will also help translate incidental material in support of the series - eg title cards, trailer text, etc.

Rate is negotiable based on availability and experience.
