I've been working as a subtitler for two years now but, to my shame, my major client pays ridiculously low (2.5€/min...). My second (both are agencies) pays 3.8€/min, which is better. It was always difficult to find information on the standard translation rate for subtitling and I was always thinking that I was asking too much by wanting to go as far as 5€/min. [/quote]
Those rates are way too low/ridiculous, as you point yourself. All the more so if your clients are French. 10€ per minute ought to be considered a minimum.
