The Elements of Subtitles is a practical guide on how to get subtitling right.

Filled with examples from screenplays across the globe, this is an indispensable reference on the nuts and bolts of creating accurate and exciting subtitles. Since its publication, The Elements of Subtitles has become a primary resource for film translation. Fully updated in a revised and expanded edition, The Elements of Subtitles is a must for anyone who wants to get into the world of translation, (Midwest Book Review) and The definitive guide for all working subtitle translators.
