...do you know how to subtitle? Very different from "normal" translation.
And $1/min is just ridiculous! (There are 2 tasks: translation and timing)
For both, $15/min is a minimum in western countries.
Good luck. [/quote]

I have done subtitling before but it was part of my duties as an employed translator not as a freelancer, so I haven't done any freelance subtitling before. I wasn't sure about the rate the client suggested. You're right, it's very low.

Thanks a lot for the info. I appreciate it
