The Netflix HERMES Test: Quality Subtitling at Scale

Netflix has launched an online subtitling and testing platform, HERMES[1]. It’s open for both fulfillment partners and individuals. The first step in enrolling for subtitling job is to pass series of tests and once selected, the subtitlers will be recommended to Netflix vendors or work with Netflix directly in future [2]. 

As per a Medium post[3] by their Director of Globalization, the aim of this is for Netflix to maintain a standard across all of their third party translation partners to ensure constant quality and reliability.
