Let the community know you want to help subtitle videos!

As you know, subtitles on Viki are created by passionate fans like you. New community members have often asked us how to get involved in the subtitling process. We now have a feature in your profile settings that makes it easy to let the rest of the community know that you want to help out.

Through your contribution settings, you're able to make yourself available to subtitle, segment, moderate or even manage a Channel, and Channel staff members will be able to search for and contact you! For example, if you want to subtitle a video from English to Spanish, enter that in your profile info. You'll also need to fill out the number of hours per week that you're willing to contribute. This is because some shows, such as those that are on-air, may require a weekly time commitment. If you're unsure about what to enter, we suggest selecting 1 - 2 hours a week. Now, if a Channel is looking for an English t0 Spanish subtitler, they can find you and send you a private message!

NOTE: You don't have to wait for Channel teams to contact you. If there's a video or Channel you want to be a part of, send a private message to the Channel Manager or Moderators, and ask to join their team.
