Emmanuel Jerome
@emmanueljerome
I translate Urdu audiovisual content into natural, broadcast-ready English subtitles for screen audiences.
What I'm looking for
I translate Urdu film, television, streaming, and digital content into natural, accurate English subtitles that preserve timing, tone, character voice, terminology, and cultural context.
Since 2021, I've worked independently as a freelance Urdu–English subtitling linguist, translating, proofreading, conforming, and quality-checking high-volume audiovisual content under short turnaround requirements.
I review subtitles against video for dialogue accuracy, speaker changes, synchronization, reading flow, line breaks, missing or duplicated content, and client style-guide compliance. I also adapt idioms, humor, and cultural references while retaining the original meaning.
Previously, I translated and proofread Urdu audiovisual content for television, online video, and entertainment projects. I'm comfortable with confidential pre-release material and collaborating with project managers and linguists on terminology, corrections, and quality issues.
