Until the end of October, you can put your subtitling skills to the test for a chance to receive Viki merchandise, or even a signed photo of Kim Soo Hyun (from “My Love From the Star”) or Lee Min Ho (from “Heirs”)!
Every day between October 24 and October 31, a gift will be given to the person who writes the most subtitles for that day. Better yet, you can win on multiple days!
In celebration of our new movies from Spuul, we’re making this sub-a-thon specific to Bollywood! This means that you must subtitle on Bollywood titles in order to be eligible to receive a gift. Read “Viki Introduces: Bollywood Titles!” for some quick recommendations or search this list and pick which ones you want to help subtitle.
Instructions
- Once a day, submit the number of subtitles you wrote that day in this form. Remember that you can subtitle in any language, but it needs to be for Bollywood titles.
- Submissions are required by 11:59 p.m. PDT (Pacific Daylight Time) each day.
- To figure out what time that is where you live, use this website.
- Check your PMs on Viki as we’ll contact the top subtitlers there.
Gifts for Subtitling
One lucky person will get to choose between a signed photo of Kim Soo Hyun or Lee Min Ho. The other daily winners will receive surprise Viki gifts, such as pens, stickers and more. We’ll be giving away something different each day!
Remember, you can win on multiple days so submit your subtitling numbers every day!
