Subtitles for La Patro?

Philip David Morgan's picture

I just visited the website for the Imagu video–movie studio… they are looking for people to help do subtitle translations for their latest production, La Patro. To that end, they have made a subtitle script of the film available for those willing to download it and start cracking.

For the record, the file is in the Microsoft Excel (.xls) file format, but I was able to open it with OpenOffice (version 2.2). The guidelines are included as part of the file.

You can find the scipt file here:

I won't be able to work on this one, much less give it true justice. But someone in our community, I am sure, will relish it (especially when his or her name will be listed in the end credits…).

I'm in. Contact me.

I'm in. Anyone else who would like to help, please contact me so we don't duplicate effort.

There are less than 400 lines to translate. This could be done pretty quickly, with or without help.

50 lines (15%) and counting...

One lunch hour has brought about the first 50 lines (out of 340) of rough draft. It's a little difficult, not actually having seen the movie or knowing who's talking, but not too bad.

Anyone want to hop in? Let me know (right here). Fifty lines seems to be a workable chunk size, so I'll do another and go up through line 99 myself.

Anyone want to take lines 100 through 149?

Okay, I just passed line

Okay, I just passed line 100.

Anyone want to start at line 200?

Still going.

Still going. I just reached line 200. I'll bite off another hundred, I think, but I don't know if I'll finish it myself.

Anyone who wants to help should start at line 300 in the spreadsheet.

Nevermind.

Oh, nevermind. I'm almost done.
