Where a subtitler can go next

5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a subtitler already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

Subtitlers can work intralingually, within the same language, or interlingually, across languages. Intralingual subtitlers create the subtitles for hearing-impaired viewers, whereas interlingual subtitlers create the subtitles for movies or television programmes in a different language to the one heard in the audiovisual production. They both ensure that the captions and subtitles are synchronised with the sound, images and dialogue of the audiovisual work.

Note

How these figures were compiled

Coverage is the share of the target role’s weighted skill requirement a subtitler already meets, counting required skills in full and supplementary ones at 0.35. It is directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. Every entry above opens the full comparison for that move: what carries over, what is missing, and where to start. The full method.
