Help needed: The Amazing Race Subtitles

(1/2) > >>

Dzony95:
Hello RFF!

I'm Serbian translator, and I already have make Serbian subtitle for s27e01.

Now, I need help in making English subtitle. English subtitle is a great way to make TAR (or any other tv series) even more popular, since someone may use it to translate it to his/her own language. If anyone wants to translate it in it's own language and don't know how, then go ahead and ask me, I will be happy to help you. Also, subtitles are great for the users who know English, but not perfectly (Those guys from non-English speaking countries). Please note that subtitles are "copyright free", they're work of users, so they're not illegal or anything (just saying).

Now, I need help only for season 27 (for now), but we, together may make transcripts/translations of other seasones/versions of The Amazing Race. I could do all that alone, but it takes so much time, and my English is not perfect, so I have bunch of mistakes, and things that I don't understand (in Serbian, I could miss them as our rule is to translate only core, but in English, rule is transcription: write down all they're saying). This way, subtitles could be done way too much faster, and they'll be 100% correct. So, if you want to help, just tell me, and I will explain what we should do.

Idea is to finish season 27 as quickly as we can. Episode one is finished up to there:

Show content267
00:18:50,825 --> 00:18:52,413
they will receive their next clue.
I will give you a link with transcribed part, merged with automatic Closed Captions (CC) from CBS website, which is awful and uppercase, but it still helps.
There you can check my mistakes and my gaps, marked as (?) :D, and you can correct UPPERCASE (automatic) part. We will do that by "crowdsource" so everyone can edit same file, but your name(s) will be included at the end of subtitle.

Link is here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JoDdwK-ObOJCDr9qmUUS5BHRgJnKtMwg_9jqeqBKgHI/edit?usp=sharing

If this is not for here and needs to be deleted, well thats okay. If nobody wants to help me, well that's okay too. If you have any questions, go ahead and ask me. I'm going to sleep now (it's 2am here), so I hope someone will help me untill I wake up :D

EDIT: Please note that measures are converted to European (miles to km, inches, feets, foots to cm)

G.B.:
If you are interested, I have transcribed the entirety of Season 1 Episodes 1-6 in my free time. I planned to do, well, everything but things got busy.

Luckily, I have CC files (subtitles), but better ones, from hulu, for seasones 1-8 I think (and later ones)... I can send you them tomorrow, but they're probably not synced for your version...

Do you have some free time to help me with this? At least proofreading of already transcribed part?

:welcome:  Dzony95!!

We are glad you are here! Lets see if anyone can help, we have some very talented people here!!

What a great thing to do!!

I'm not 100 percent certain, but I believe the versions available on DVD and download on ITunes are of better CC quality than are broadcast. Sometimes, the CC is garbled or misses something, but when the dvd/downloads are used the garbled and errors in transcriptions are usually gone

It's one reason I get the downloads from ITunes and then the DVDs once Amazon releases the produced on demand dvd versions. At least we have DVDs for seasons 1 - 19, and downloads from seasons 13 to the present. I can't speak for the Amazon Instant Video versions (depends on whether those are downloadable or just streamed as the CBS All-Access version is.
