Subbers, please use proper punctuation marks, grammar and standardized names for all translations. This is the best guideline we have for now. If you can think of better ones or anything else to improve our subs, please reply to the Translations Notes. THANKS!!!

Great site to assist you in subbing and learning Chinese: http://usa.mdbg.net/

(be careful of difficult sentences & certain pinyin as this site is not perfect)

It is great with translations, correct Chinese character writing, and pronunciations too.

1. For each sentence PLEASE use appropriate punctuation marks such as .,!?
2. Please do use CAPS for names, titles and beginning of each new sentences.
3. When the sentence ends. Please use one space and then start the next sentence.
   • Example: I love you. I hate you.
4. If the sentence fades please use 3 periods ... with no spaces. But if the sentence ends after 3 periods, please do use 1 space.
   • Example: I love you...but I... Forget it!
5. If sentence is the character's thoughts, please use parenthese ( )
   • Example: I love you...but I... Forget it! (I am so not going to say it.)
6. Use of
   
   • Do use
     before the start of each sentence if subs are too high or too low, basically use your best judgment in using
     to provide the best visual settings for all watchers.
     itself can also be used to fill up an empty segment. DO NOT use a period "." to fill up a segment, use
     or do #8.
   • PLEASE PLEASE do not put
     if positioning of English subs block any of the hardsubs. I (and many language learners) need to see the hardsubs so I can learn and improve my language skills. When I QC, I will remove
     if they are not needed. I hope that is ok with everyone?
   • 
     
     is used in the middle of a long sentence to break it up because it is just too long to fit on the screen. It depends on the subs & video length & pace, but it usually means you need to adjust the timing to prolong subs. If the following dialogue after the long sentene is too fast, it might not be good to use it.
   • 
     used at the end of a sentence actually stop the subs from staying on screen til the next sub comes up. It is really better NOT to use it. The only way you would use
     in the end of a sentence is to time the next seg/sub perfectly, but then you need to be a perfect timer. I haven't learn how to do that yet. Let me know if anyone discover this perfect timing method.
7. Do adjust timing if subs requires it.
   • Example: Long sentences; if there is enough time between the next sentence, please prolong the timing by holding down CTRL key and press DOWN ARROW key repeatedly until correct time is reached. Press CTRL & UP ARROW key to shorten the segment.
8. To delete a sub that is not needed. Click on the "!" triangle and click on the trash can/delete button and then just click save.
9. To leave a subber a comment in the subbed pop up box, click on the number next to the subber's name and you can click on "+" sign of the subber you want to leave the comment for.
10. Segmenters & Subbers:~ During prolong no voice segments, please add:
    • Subtitles ~ Team Romance of the Three Kingdoms ~ ViiKii.Net
    • Please do not exceed more than 5 of those in a 1 part video and DO NOT add it when it will really distract from the video!!!
