Writing Chinese subtitles


Recommended Posts

I am thinking about writing subtitles for a 90s British tv show which I have downloaded in China. The main reason being to improve my Chinese generally; I'm not aware of anyone who's really done this and I thought it might be an interesting challenge (certainly I've never seen the program anywhere with Chinese. I won't say what it is yet).

 

Copyright and technical issues aside (haha!) does anyone have any advice or guidance about doing this? My Chinese is just lower/mid intermediate level. Of course I have Chinese friends who I can check the dialogue with but I don't want to be too lazy with it.

 

What do you think? Novel and rewarding approach or just plain barmy?
