Post title: -
Q. Who came up with all these rules?
A. Audiovisual translation academics. People like Jan Pedersen, Jorge Diaz-Cintas etc.
Q. Are there any official subtitling guidelines?
A. Plenty of them. Most AV associations (ATAA, ESIST, SUBTLE, NAVIO) have one, in addition to institutions (Ofcom, DCMP, CAB) and broadcasters (BBC, YLE, Netflix).
Q. Are there any international subtitling guidelines?
A. No, there are no international subtitling guidelines, and there cannot be any, simply because different languages require different guidelines.
