Subtitling Conventions

Subtitles need to adhere to time and space restrictions. In other words, it’s an ancillary translation based on the image and audio, fitting within a specific time and space.

Subtitle guidelines

  • * Each video clip must contain 2 lines of subtitles located at the bottom of the screen (for video images).
  • * Each line of subtitling must contain a maximum of 35 characters (letters, symbols or spaces). The number of characters that a subtitle can contain (in two lines) is 70 characters.
  • * The minimum duration of the subtitle is 1 second. The maximum duration of a subtitle is 6 seconds on the screen.
    The reading speed of a subtitle is 3 words per second. A full subtitle of two lines and 70 characters needs to be displayed for at least four seconds.


Subtitle spotting

Spotting is the most important technical part of the subtitling process, ensuring quality and precision. A meticulous process in which the moment when the subtitles are shown is calculated; the time they appear in each clip, when they disappear from the screen and the synchronisation with the audio.

During the spotting process, a natural text, with the same punctuation, spelling rules and meaning must be retained. The rules that must be followed are:

Hyphel
A hyphen (-) is used in two-person conversations. With a hyphen and intervention per subtitle line.
Cursive
Italics are used for off-screen voices, songs and audio coming from off-screen or electronic devices.
Bubbles
The subtitle division must not separate a noun and an adjective onto two different lines, nor a noun from a verb; it must be a natural division.
Quotes
Speech marks (“ ”), recognised abbreviations and numbers are used and capitals avoided where possible.
