How can I determine the number of words I would need to have translated in a 30 minute video? Can any DVD be translated?
Subtitling or translating a DVD segment requires a transcript. Web videos or DVD segments usually include a transcript of all the text in the video; the number of words translated is determined by what is in the transcript, not the length of runtime. You can calculate the exact number of words you want translated in your transcription using our software or using a word count tool. However, a good rule of thumb is to equate 1 minute of runtime to roughly 100 words (1 min=100 words). For videos longer than three minutes, this is a less effective way to estimate number of words per minute. Simply copy and paste the video transcription into our software and you will be able to determine exactly how long it is and how many words you want translated.
