1. Objective

This report evaluates the subtitling of an educational video discussing a missing feature in spreadsheet software. The goal was to ensure accurate, readable subtitles that fit the YouTube format conventions without altering the content of the video.

2. Audiovisual Constraints

• Reading speed limits
• Line length restrictions
• On-screen labels also requiring translation

3. Subtitling Strategy

• Extracted English subtitles from the YouTube video to match the timestamps.
• Worked on a monotype text editor to see in real time how well character length matched the original.
• Consulted popular office suites (Microsoft Office, Google Workspace, LibreOffice Suite) to match standard localization conventions.
