Hello friends

I have met a distribution company of Indian movies in Dubai. They have Indian movies (which shows in cinemas) translated already in Arabic but the translation is too bad.

They want me to Audit the translation of each movie.

1- How much should i charge them for audit?
2- if they ask me to translate the subtitles from the beginning (no coding only translating the subtitles) then how much i should charge per movie ( normally 120 minutes) ?... See more

Hi Ilre,

I asked a colleague of mine, a professional interlingual subtitler into Arabic, to help you with the rates, and here is what he had to say:

Hi Max

I'd be happy to help.

In the UAE, subtitling to Arabic ranges between AED 100-140 (~USD 27-38) per minute of video. For translation, a page of 200-250 words ranges between AED 80-120 (~USD 22-33) and in some cases more.

Hope this helps.
