2) Time constraints<br />
Time constraints influence on translation of:<br />
Audio Video Graphics On screen text<br />
(software)<br />
Sound is usually Amount of text Influenced if the Influenced if the<br />
synchronized with displayed depends audio or video audio or video<br />
the action on on the amount of text refers text refers<br />
screen: translation time available for explicitly to the explicitly to the<br />
should account for displaying it content of the content of the on<br />
total length of<br />
graphics screen text<br />
presentation and<br />
intermediate cue<br />
points as well<br />
3) Cultural constraints<br />
Cultural constraints influence on translation of:<br />
Audio Video Graphics<br />
Influenced in<br />

Influenced (software) in<br />
Influenced in terms Subtitles are terms of: terms of:<br />
of:<br />
influenced in - content layout - content layout<br />
- speaker's pace terms of: - screen shoots (may need<br />
- actor's gender - subtitling style (for products resize and reposition)<br />
- text (may need - text (may need that contain<br />
rewriting)<br />

- accents<br />

rewriting)<br />
4) Functional constraints<br />
Functional constraint influence on translation of:<br />
Audio text Video text Graphics text On screen text<br />
(software)<br />
Influenced only if The text<br />
Influenced if the Influenced if the<br />
the text references appearing in a on screen text text refers to the<br />
functional video is very refers explicitly to functions of the<br />
elements<br />
limited (typical the content of the software<br />
values 36 chars graphics<br />
on max 3 lines)<br />
Interface elements<br />
(software)<br />
These are usually<br />
not influenced<br />
Interface elements<br />
(software) Influenced if<br />
software functions<br />
vary from locale to<br />
locale<br />
Interface elements<br />
(software)<br />
Influenced in terms<br />
of text that needs<br />
rewriting to account<br />
for the localized<br />
functions of the<br />
software<br />
In case the video<br />
text coincides<br />
with part of the on<br />
screen text, the on<br />
screen text length<br />
is affected by the<br />
video text<br />
