Hi guys. I am a Chinese Top Gear fan, and I've been in a Top Gear subtitle team for half a year now. We have made English and Chinese subtitles for serie 9. And soon after the release of Chinese subtitles, the programs have become incredibly popular in China. We've even got fans supporting us to continue making subtitles for TG.
But face it, we aren't native speakers. So our understanding of English cannot be as good as yours. And just think of it, FinalGear can actually start a project that makes English subtitles for Top Gear (also Fifth Gear maybe?). So that people from non-English speaking countries can easily translate them into their own languages. Thus, Top Gear can be showed to billions of people who don't speak English.
So the Top Gear polar special is out, I say we start the project right now! Here is the plan:
The 1 hour program is equally divided into 12 parts/segments, so each part only lasts about 5 minutes. Any single part will be taken by one volunteer who will type down all the transcripts in that segment and save them as a .txt file, upload it to any share space, share the link and his/her job is done. So the more volunteers we've got, the less job each one will get, and sooner the project will complete.
I will make timeline in a .srt file, then fill in the srt file with the transcripts from you guys. Thus the subtitle is done. Easy, isn't it?
The program is divided like this: (Timestamp is based on the VTV 700M version which has a more decent sound quality)
[Done by HaggiesHill]part1: begin ~ 00:05:01 (Jeremy: ...a doctor snaped us to attantion.)
[Done by HaggiesHill]part2: 00:05:01 ~ 00:10:00 (Ruined face man: ...Hands above your head!)
[Done by HaggiesHill]part3: 00:10:00 ~ 00:15:00 (Jeremy: I didn't know he be this bad.)
[Done by HaggiesHill]part4: 00:15:00 ~ 00:20:00 (Richard: I'm broken.)
[Done by HaggiesHill]part5: 00:20:00 ~ 00:25:00 (Jeremy: ...)
[Done by HaggiesHill]part6: 00:25:00 ~ 00:29:51 (Richard: my body clock is broken)
[Done by Speedtouch]part7: 00:29:51 ~ 00:35:00 (Jeremy: Surviving on only gin)
[Done by HaggiesHill]part8: 00:35:00 ~ 00:40:00 (Jeremy: ...and quite lonely out here)
[Done by Speedtouch]part9: 00:40:00 ~ 00:44:58 (Richard: Now we are making progress...)
[Done by Speedtouch]part10: 00:44:58 ~ 00:50:08 (Jeremy: bloody hell!)
[Done by Speedtouch]part11: 00:50:08 ~ 00:55:02 (May: Exactly)
[Done by HaggiesHill]part12: 00:55:02 ~ end
