　　Spanish/Italian/Portuguese: RMB 320-550 per 1,000 words

　　2.Video Translation without Subtitles

　　If the video does not have subtitles, it requires listening translation, which includes both transcription and translation. The cost is calculated based on the video duration, with specific standards as follows:

　　English: RMB 80-150 per minute

　　Japanese/Korean: RMB 150-200 per minute

　　French/German: RMB 200-260 per minute

　　Factors Affecting Video Translation Costs

　　1.Difficulty of Language Conversion: The difficulty of translation varies between different languages, directly affecting translation costs. For example, translating from English to Chinese is relatively easy due to abundant bilingual resources and a large number of translators. However, translation between some lesser-known languages is more complex, with scarce resources, leading to naturally higher fees.

　　2.Film Type and Specific Content: The type of film and the complexity of its content are also important factors affecting costs. Science fiction and historical dramas often contain a large amount of terminology and background knowledge, requiring translators to possess knowledge in the corresponding fields. Comedy films, on the other hand, require translators to have excellent cultural understanding and localization abilities, which may increase prices.

　　3.Translator's Qualifications and Experience: Senior translators typically provide higher-quality services and charge accordingly. Experienced translators often better capture the essence of the original text and provide smoother, more natural translations.

　　4.Time Urgency: Urgent projects may require additional rush fees. If subtitles need to be translated for a film within a short period, translators may need to work overtime, increasing overall costs.

　　The translation of movie subtitles is not only a technical task but also an artistic creation. It requires translators to not only have a solid language foundation but also a deep understanding of the film's content and cultural background. With the advancement of globalization and the increasing demand for high-quality film and television works, the video translation market is poised for broader development prospects.
