subbers
Those who substitute
Subbers are people who create subtitles for video content, typically translating foreign-language media into English or other languages.
The term is most common in anime and foreign film communities, where fan subbers translate and time subtitles for unofficial releases: The subbers got this episode out fast.
Professional subbers work for streaming services and studios.
