Why I Might Be The Right Choice For Your Next Linguistic Project

Please consider the following facts:

SUBTITLE TRANSLATOR:

• I have extensive experience for more than 15 years in translating featured film subtitles since the era of laser-disc heyday (1993)
• Some of the well-respected companies that I had worked for include:
○ Various companies (Thai, Taiwan) that sold/distributed movies in the laser-disc format
○ IBC - Cable TV (movies, documentaries)
○ Star - Cable TV (movies, TV series)
○ True UBC - Cable TV (game shows, TV series)
○ Channel 7 - Local TV (movies )
○ Sahamongkol Film International - Motion Picture Distributor & Production Studio (movies for cinema theaters)

• My general approach to subtitle translation is:
○ It should NOT interfere with or draw the attention of the viewers from watching movies.
○ So it must be short and succinct while being accurate and complete.
○ Reflects the cultural status of speakers in context; and renders implications and register as appropriate.
○ Ensures that it flows naturally
