What is Viki Rakuten? Asian series viewing platforms

     Viki Rakuten is one of the most popular Asian series streaming platforms in recent years, especially among Korean series or Asian content enthusiasts who want to watch with multilingual subtitles. A key feature is the user-translated subtitles, which result in smoother and faster-updated subtitles compared to many other platforms. Additionally, it offers a wide variety of content from several Asian countries, including Korea, China, Japan, Taiwan, and Thailand.

What is Viki Rakuten?

     This platform is a streaming service specifically focused on Asian content, offering series, variety shows, and movies with multilingual subtitles. It supports users worldwide and has a feature that sets Viki Rakuten apart from other streaming platforms: the "Community Subtitles" system, which allows users from around the world to collaborate on translating subtitles into various languages, including Thai. All content undergoes multiple layers of review, ensuring the subtitles are of high quality, easy to understand, and updated faster than on many general platforms.

Highlights of the Viki app that make series lovers choose it ✨

• There is content specifically for Asian audiences that cannot be found on mainstream platforms.
• There are communities to help translate subtitles into multiple languages and update them quickly.
• There is a ranking system for co-creators (those who translate captions) to receive more privileges.
• There's a community feature where you can rate and write reviews for each episode.
• Easy to use on both mobile and TV.

What are the QC system and translator ranks on Viki? 📝

     Within the platform, there's a feature called "Creator Community." We can apply to be a creator and become part of the subtitle translation process. The system divides the roles of contributors into several categories, allowing us to choose what we're good at. This includes script translators, segmenters, moderators, proofreaders, and managers. This process helps improve the quality, reliability, and usability of Thai subtitles on the Viki Rakuten app, even though the system is based on real users.

     Additionally, there is a translator ranking system (Contributor Levels) to motivate creators to produce high-quality work and maintain standards. The levels of members who help with translation are divided into different ranks, such as:

• QC Trainee – A translator with some experience and certain privileges.
• Qualified Contributor – A translator who has translated and reviewed a large number of times is eligible for free Viki Pass.
• Gold QC – Highest Level: Translators with outstanding work and extensive QC experience are eligible for free Viki Pass, as well as excellent badges on their profile page and official certificates from Viki.

These ranks make Viki's translation community more professional and also help series producers ensure that the subtitles seen on the platform have been thoroughly reviewed.
