This is a text describing the process of subtitling:
El subtitulado en tres etapas:
1. El localizador lleva a cabo un trabajo de corte y determina el inicio y el final de cada frase del diálogo. El objetivo es sincronizar la aparición de los subtítulos con las palabras y asegurar así su legibilidad.
2. El traductor traduce los subtítulos preparados por el localizador y los adapta a la lengua de destino.
3. El simulador (visualización de una prueba) corrige eventuales errores cometidos en las etapas anteriores e integra los subtítulos al proyecto final.
It seems like a job performed by some sort of editor...
Thanks

"Three different professionals can be distinguished in the subtitling process. The spotter — known by some companies as subtitler — is responsible for the technical task of deciding the in and out times of the subtitles, and increasingly for creating templates and master titles with relevant annotations for the translators."

"In subtitling, time coding is one of the most important jobs and should be carried out by an experienced 'spotter'. We determine the start and end times by going through the footage frame by frame using professional subtitling software."
