Hello,

I am trying to figure out which Netflix DTT partner to "go for".

I am specifically looking at Gloz Inc. and TVT Media as they support my language pair (En -> Ger).

Does anyone here have experience with either company (or both)?

I've been working with other vendors for a few years now but am looking to qualify for the DTT program specifically, so I'd be interested to know which of these ranks higher so to speak.

Hello,

I am trying to figure out which Netflix DTT partner to "go for".

I've been working with other vendors for a few years now but am looking to qualify for the DTT program specifically, so I'd be interested to know which of these ranks higher so to speak.

It would also be interesting to know what the general workload looks like with these companies outside of the DTT program. I have read some reviews online, but nothing I found was too specific regarding DTT and the general workload.

I have been offered to take onboarding tests by both and as you can only be with DTT under one vendor, I am trying to decide the best way forward.

I thought I'd ask as the chances of someone having experience with these companies are higher here than elsewhere.

Thank you! ▲ Collapse

Hi,

I have experience with one of those companies working in the opposite language direction as you. If you do templates, I might be translating your templates some day! Feel free to write me my message: [email protected]

Hi,
As far as I know, it's a hit and miss situation. In my language pair, Deluxe is the company working with the DTT program, and they recently stated that they're evaluating broadening their pool of translators, but it's not very clear how or if you'll be selected just because you're part of their freelancers' staff.

I can vouch for TVT as being dependable and helpful.

I have a different experience.

OTOH, I can fully recommend Deluxe.

Gloz is pure chaos.
TVT was kind of ok but far from ideal.
