Amharic Subtitle Translation & Sync

@shereali356

Hello, Because this is an entertainment video, the Amharic subtitles need to preserve more than the literal meaning; jokes, cultural references, tone, and on-screen context all need to feel natural to the target dialect. I would also pay close attention to your 42-character line limit, two-line maximum, and 17 CPS reading-speed requirement. I’ll work from the existing English SRT and translate each cue carefully while preserving the original structure and timecodes wherever possible. I’ll use Subtitle Edit for timing, character-count and CPS checks, then perform a full proofreading and visual QC to ensure the UTF-8 SRT is clean, synchronized, and ready for VLC and your internal platform. Before completing the entire subtitle file, I can translate a short section as a sample so you can review the Amharic wording, tone, dialect, and formatting. Once you approve the sample, I’ll continue with the full video and make any necessary revisions based on your feedback until the subtitles meet your requirements. Please send me the original English .srt file and, if available, any guidance about the specific Amharic dialect or target audience. I can begin with a sample immediately and then complete the full file with careful attention to accuracy, timing, and natural readability. MD SHER-E ALI
