Hello all! I am a translator Spanish/French-English, living in Madrid.

Any lead at all would be very much appreciated!

I applied to an Italian Subtitling agency which also has an office in the US. It offers many language pairs to do. But alas, the fee rate is too badly low to earn a good living: It does documentary subtitling that is usually paying low price!

The pay for subtitling is generally apalling, I think.
I wouldn't get into that as a career choice if I were you.
