#DeepHallucination is becoming relevant again. But now I'd make an important change in the definition: Detecting it is impossible or requires another AI.

Did you know that Greek is the only one of the EU’s 24 official languages in which the word for “Parliament” does not derive from the parl-/parli- root? (Κοινοβούλιο).
I only noticed myself today. Happy European Day of Languages!

I've now finished reading all the abstracts from all the Languages and the Media conferences since 1996. I confirmed some of the trends I suspected, but there were some surprises too. What can we learn from the past?
Can't wait to present my findings in London!

Do watch Marina's latest episode, to find out about research in cultural representations in LLMs.

Today, I had to subtitle this utterance:
It's a big bullshit.
The translator job is a big bullshit.Pretty shocking, but the speaker didn't mean it that way. More about it when the documentary is out.
-
You know how subtitlers can immediately spot the words to remove when we need to make dialogue concise, easy to digest? It's like a reflex.
Well, knowing exactly which those words are means that, when the task is reversed, we can add the right kind of padding to make an otherwise perfectly concise utterance longer.

Shortsighted localization enterprises think the tech stack is the moat. Maybe it used to be.
Today's smart leaders surround themselves with experts. Treat them well and brag about them.
They also take good care of their tech, of course.Been thinking about that for a long time, but today's post was inspired by Justin Beaudin.

There is a quiet shifting everywhere. And everyone is sitting with it. Exchange an f for a t, add an h - and you have the solution for everything. 💩

- Yes.
- Does anybody check them before they're out?
- Not always.

Intermediate tokens.
That's the term to use instead of AI "reasoning" or "thinking".
Machines don't think, they don't even simulate thinking. They produce intermediate tokens and outputs (code, text, images).13 June 2026

The poor T-word, everybody has been avoiding it for years now, professionals, companies, university departments, all dropping it. I guess a few theorists will keep using it, and maybe we'll become trendy one day. Like philosophers.

Every time I read about a quiet shift quietly shifting, I sing with Björk. Can OpenAI do with quiet shifts what they did with ogres and goblins? And bring ogres back? I prefer them.

Did you know that the #LanguagesAndTheMedia conference used to have a multilingual title? The conference languages were English, French and German.
Thanks to Wayback Machine we have access to the first conference website in 2000 announcing its third edition. Registration price was in Deutsche Mark.

It doesn't navigate anymore nor delve. It *quietly* shifts and it compounds. Or it doesn't shift. It compounds.
And it's oh so dramatic.

Do you want to stand out on LinkedIn? This app's for you. Now, which direction would you use it in?

Now it's been more than two months since #ChatGPTtranslate was discovered by users, still no announcement by OpenAI. Probably about to be "quietly" abandoned? The chances of finding out why Greek is not included among the source or target languages are getting slimmer. The weirdest part is that the page itself is localized in many languages, Greek included.

Audiences are shaping the media production - and localisation - industry. If they find a new technique jarring, they stop watching. In this case, synthetic faces and voices are used in a documentary to anonymise victims. The AI use is transparent. But emotions are an issue, and viewers quit watching. If the numbers are high, the practice will be abandoned or changed.

Quick question: anybody here who is both optimistic about the future and resistant to AI?

An interesting job post by Netflix.
-
Sometimes it feels like terms related to human activity are being hijacked by AI discourse. We now have to add modifiers to words like skill. “How to develop skills” can mean something entirely different depending on the context.
In AI contexts, “skills” often refers to structured sets of instructions or prompts for repeated processes.

For some, Harlequin was never about real literature anyway, but translators used to be considered authors. Now they'll become posteditors, no translator credit.
I wonder if the publisher is considering using AI to write the original work too 🤔

I was dreaming of this when we started creating the Learning via Subtitling platform 20 years ago. Isolating dialogue was impossible if you didn't have access to the audio tracks.

Honoured to deliver the keynote at ELIA - European Language Industry Association 10th Focus on Project Management in Athens this December.
This milestone edition invites us to reflect on how we can stay sharp and ethically grounded in an AI-driven world.
Looking forward to joining this agora of project and production managers for three days of exchange and learning.

I’ll be celebrating International Translation Day on the radio 🎉 Actually, more like International Translation Night. The good thing about radio is you can talk in your pjs. I don’t know what Nefeli Lygerou will ask me, but I’ll be talking about what I love most in my work as a subtitler.
Tune in to hear me rambling in Greek - or listen to the replay tomorrow.

AI is that magical stuff that has converted computer scientists into experts in ethics and philosophy.

Tasks are not jobs. The fact that a human or a machine can perform a task successfully does not mean that they can do the job.

“Brevity is the soul of wit,” said Shakespeare.
#Subtitlers work with brevity and conciseness for a living.
Which makes them true guardians of wit.
-
Turns out the tech world is also able to see it: "words aren't just words, they carry trust, context, and culture".
And if you thought you hired Shakespeare but got Clippy with ChatGPT installed, and your entire brand voice now sounds like an airport pamphlet - translators can fix it for you.
If you hired back your content people, don't destroy their work in other languages.
-
What's the deal with films these days? Stunning locations, gorgeous actors, some of them actually good too, obviously lots of money spent. But the script? It sucks. Hollow words, weak plots.
Dear Hollywood, could you pls become more attractive for scriptwriters?
Yours,

"It'a not about X, it's about Y. But here's the thing."
Did everyone write like this before? It's the new "navigating the realms". And it's really boring.
-
Look forward to a transparency label integrated in tools so that it can be easily used. For translation too.
-
I've always thought that white robots and blue glowing brains are misleading representations of AI*. Better Images of AI suggest they are potentially harmful.
Let's do better (looking at you, dear journalists).*what we currently understand as artificial intelligence.
-
How much do you hate repeating a task? I hate it so much that I prefer spending the same amount of time (or even more) to automate it. At least I learn something and it's more rewarding. But it's also a trap, timewise.
-
Are thermostats agents? They choose to turn on or off depending on the environment.
"Agency" is a fascinating concept and we can spend hours discussing. Thinking of automation as a continuum, like Marina suggests, is quite helpful. At least we can agree to disagree.
Shall we keep "agency" for Marina's level 5 then?

Justin Beaudin has this rare ability to see things with clarity and openness, zooming out to grasp the bigger picture, grounded in the present but also focused on the future. He works with AI but in a truly human-centric way.
I totally recommend listening to him in this podcast, so grab your headphones and head out for a walk, a run, or whatever gets you moving.
-
"Always do your best, and submit something to be proud of!"
That's what the long email with instructions for translators ends with. The rest is "Follow the guidelines, meet the deadline, here's the [unsustainable] fee". A pittance really.Are you doing your best, dear LSP? Maybe you have no other way: you are squeezed, so you squeeze further down. But are you proud?
-
In light of tomorrow's event on #MediaLocalization by Women in Localization - Greece Chapter I thought I'd recheck Heygen and see if there are any developments in the last two years.
I used the video I made for RAIN Film Festival.It's eery because I don't speak Spanish with a slight Latin American accent.
-
Beyond the title (no serious person does that anyway), there are interesting insights re prompt improvement. They also provide alternative wordings, such as Intermediate Token Generation instead of "thinking" or "reasoning", I wish they would catch, but not optimistic, as "factuality deviation error" didn't catch either, we still use hallucination.

This essay by Luciano Floridi has been in my reading list for a few days, but I stopped at one word, something in me crumpled. WrAIting?
I wonder if it will stick, like that "e" added everywhere in the 2000s (e-mail, e-banking). For the moment, I hope not, or any use that converts "i" to an "AI".

Being coached is a luxury we all need to experience at some point in life. And if that coach is Magda Jagucka Miller you get a masterclass in clear communication & active listening. You're not just guided, but challenged to think clearly and re-focus, so that you can design your course of action.
Thank you, Magda!

Have you noticed that kids and teens don't watch long-form content any more? Will it change when they grow up? Are millenials the last generation to read books and watch films?

Love this - though it’s sad to think there may be no soil left for planting scented flowers or water to keep them alive.
Too many discussions with frustrated colleagues lately, especially in #subtitling.

"A non-human machine" is an expression actually used in a court decision.

Just started the Introduction to #AISpeechEditing course by Voiseed and OOONA.
I was so excited about it that, despite being pressed for time this week, I just wanted to take a quick peek. And I ended up finishing the first unit already 🌟I’ll have to be more disciplined and continue next week.
-
Today I read a piece where the author used "the essence of my thinking" instead of "TL;DR" and I found it beautiful.
People use it casually in internet-driven discussions, and fair enough. But what began as a snarky brush-off, "too long; didn’t read" has settled into a less dignified way of saying here’s the summary. It gets the job done, but...
-
I need an AI to tell me which AI to pick for what I want to do.
Next stop?
I asked an AI, and this was the answer:"Next stop: An AI that will tell me what I want, send my request to the right AI, and then bill me for a premium subscription to overthinking-as-a-service."
#AIinception, #advanced_promptengineering
-
#OpenAI always sold itself as a global initiative, not as a US-centric company. "Build AI that benefits all of humanity", focus on openness and collaboration. But the clash with #DeepSeek tells a different story. There is an open shift to a more nationalistic approach, an emphasis on protecting its technology from foreign entities and a commitment to working with the US government.
-
Shall we keep in mind when using the term #ResponsibleAI that #AI cannot actually be responsible? That it can only be *used* responsibly?
Sure, it’s a shortcut people use to emphasize the collective responsibility for ethical use, minimizing harm, maximizing fairness, transparency, accountability.
But it’s worth reminding ourselves now and then that the responsibility lies with us. -
Doing some storage cleaning, I was reminded of the EST congress in Granada, 1998, with Jorge Díaz-Cintas, Eliana Franco (obviously when we were 10 years old) yves gambier and Henrik Gottlieb.

#Subtitling is like working with dough. I let my subtitles rest for a day or two before refining them with a thorough review and simulation.
#subtitlingmetaphors #translationmetaphors
-
Is the battle already lost? Many translation buyers seem to think of #translation as nothing more than a literal - usually soulless - transfer of words from one language to the other.
How can we help the broader public understand that translation is precisely "embellishing the text to make it readable and in tune with the characters"?

#Subtitles spark an international cabbage clash.
A #Netflix reality show has reignited tensions over the translation of "kimchi" in its Chinese subtitles. And even though Netflix changed the Chinese subtitles as per Korean demand, there was a Chinese backlash in response.

For the first time in more than 20 years, I declined a peer review request. The paper looked so enticing, I almost clicked on "yes", but I know I shouldn't. Family, paid work - and prior commitments with conferences - come first.
I will definitely come back to peer reviewing after Christmas!
-
The other day, a very experienced colleague and I were discussing the difference between mediocre #subtitles (correct but not truly fluent) vs excellent ones. What do you think, is it talent, or can it be learned? Surely, both, but what plays the bigger role, even slightly so?

#Subtitlers don't always get to work on great content, but this summer I got lucky with #ThePerfectCouple. Loved every minute of this classic whodunit.

The subtitlers I interviewed in 1999 didn't call it #latency, but explained the issue proved by Jan-Louis Kruger: Unless your eyes are glued to the bottom of the screen, they need time to perceive the presence of #subtitles.

Along with #Dynasty and #Dallas, I grew up watching #Shogun. It must've been funny to hear Greek kids grunting "Anjin-san!" "Wakarimashita, Toronaga-sama!" during recess.

Words that should be banned from the #AVT/#subtitling/language industry:
👉Truncate: implies chopping off to shorten. Not what subtitlers do.
👉Talent pool: implies anonymity, no direct relationship, unequal terms. Trivializes talent.
👉Leverage: a fancy word for "use".

These "subtitles" are not CC/SDH and seem automatic, as they do not follow #readability guidelines (segmentation, speed).
I suppose they are offered as an extra service for those who choose both subs and dub, and want to read what they hear.

I answered no, and here is why 👇
There can't be footnotes in standard #subtitling. https://twitter.com/yilinwriter/status/1670305203206385665Of course, there are exceptions, as is the case with established translations, excerpts considered public domain (e.g. from Shakespeare).

Beware of the "we wouldn't say that in the target language" mantra in #subtitling. When it's a distant or fantasy world, of course we can produce something that we'd never say "normally". It might be an odd expression, but the whole setting is out of the ordinary anyway.
-
Needed to find terminology for a subject in Greek, and thought I'd be smart and use #chatGPT instead of my usual Google search (keywords in quotes to find relevant original texts).
All Greek text it produced was rubbish, seemed literal translation from English.
Any clues? -

Cool stuff, but #AVT nerds have a question: how did #ScottMann know that #dubbing destroyed his dialogue? Through back-translation? Can he speak the (un-named) target language?

If #subtitlers work only on post-editing MT, they will soon see their skills deteriorate, no matter how qualified or experienced they are. Skills are sharpened by collaborating with humans.

Wondering the same. Translation credits appear only in "creatives". Never in legal, EU, financial or technical documentation (afaik). In times of MT it might be necessary for visibility and accountability. Would it make sense? https://twitter.com/sahorcas/status/1613546012307763201

Love the way #ChatGPT lures you into a future subscription. Excellent model includes:
-Hassle-free register.
-Allows you to use all of the new features (e.g. chat history). For free.
-Slowly takes them away - which for a free service is easily forgiven.
-
Articles like this one about "surprising" #dubbing research findings make me wonder why there is so few cross disciplinary research. Why do #dataanalysts, #translationstudies and #machinetranslation researchers not work together more?

One of my least favourite expressions used among #translators is "educating the client". Wondering if "mentoring" might sound better.

Valid argument against synthetic speech in #AudioDescription: "blind folks listen to it at work and at home every day with phones & computers.
When we decide to relax and enjoy some entertainment, we don't want to hear yet another synthesizer jabbering at us" -
Less is not always more. #cps is not a holy grail. If you chop your #subtitles too much, they may take longer to read.
#subtitling #readingspeed -
#Netflix offers #Oddballs with #dubbing in thirty (30!) languages including minority languages like #Catalan, #Basque and #Galician. Is this an all-time record?
There's also #AudioDescription and #ClosedCaptions in three languages. And #subtitles in 34 languages.

Degrees of formality is one of the trickiest things when #subtitling into languages that mark it grammatically. Especially when the relationship changes and you have to decide the moment in which they'll change from formal to informal (how about languages with more levels!)

Interesting idea by @felixcarmo. Would consumers see #artificialtranslation as not real translation? As in artificial vs real plants?
But not sure about the analogy, since the translation product does not grow naturally, it's human-made, like other artefacts, often called an art. https://twitter.com/dorrego/status/1539966872161902595 -
#translators #scholars etc, here's an excellent questionnaire, do fill it in! Looking forward to the results! https://twitter.com/felixcarmo/status/1539222707744784385
My answer? "Machine translation is translation because it is called translation and is perceived as translation. No ifs or buts :)"

While not being the targeted audience, language learners and people wanting to improve literacy skills try to use #dubbed versions with same language #subtitles. Impossible when the two versions are different. Pity that such a learning opportunity is missed. https://twitter.com/StavroulaSokoli/status/1091291233656471552

This abstract takes me 25 years back. It's all you could read back then: that #subtitling focuses on the dialogue (!) hence it's poor, and that there is loss of equivalence (well, there is, if you treat subtitles as an independent text and you compare them with dialogue!) https://twitter.com/JATJournal/status/1505893654510059527

Same language #subtitles created as part of the film-making process, also known as #freeformsubtitles or #integratedsubtitles.

#2021TEF "Tech and tools are good, but what about being able to #translate without them"?
-It's also in my notes for tonight's @PEM_PAT's round table: for quality subtitles in fiction, #subtitlers need to be trained or experienced without #MT for its effective use as a tool -
#2021TEF "Specialization is good, find your niche - e.g. heating systems - but don't overdo it, you might get fed up with it."

Adding an image of the Spanish CC for the record (records of the rest are in the article quoted in the thread above)
So, the subtitlers got it right, prob. thanks to pivot translation of correct English subtitles.
English CC is wrong, probably due to the initial error in dubbing (CC is always verbatim to audio).
Prob cause of headache: error in automatic speech recognition

Anna Wyndham from @slatornews argues that #subtitlers are (and will remain) among the top essential experts in the loop, here's why 👇

✅ Helpful when used by fairly paid and trained/experienced subtitlers in appropriate workflows -
Indeed, in conventional subtitling there are no footnotes. But there is another practice, very popular in China, called #danmu, scrolling text covering almost all of the screen, with all sorts of explanations and feedback by participants. Some viewers might enjoy them, but not sure about the rest.

Hey, people who like to chop sentences in order to stick to the #cps. Has it ever occurred to you that a full sentence might be faster to read than an elliptic one? If you have to re-read, it'll take longer, won't it?
#subtitling #readability #StickingToTheSpiritOfTheLawMind you, I'm a big fan of ellipsis. But.
-
If there is no indication by the director, it's up to the #subtitler to decide whether the speaker is addressing someone formally or informally. It depends on the setting (e.g. court), the relationship, but also on the speaker's attitude (being controversial in a formal setting)
-
I wish I was translating into a language with a fixed word order like English. I sometimes feel most of my time in #subtitling is spent rearranging words to make the phrase sound better.

I've recently worked with high quality templates and it's such a pleasure. Apart from the annotations (always helpful), the timing is wonderful. Nice, full-meaning sentences, instead of short, fragmented, one-second flashes. Shot changes are respected where possible 1/2
2/2 but not to the detriment of readability. And they're frame accurate for that matter. Hoping to see more of that!

Fascinating word order rule by Google #NMT (EN>EL): It uses the "verb first, then subject" construction, which is more natural in Greek, as opposed to the English "subject first always". Amazon doesn't do it, resulting in correct, but awkward "MT-like" translations

"Generally, I listen to sped up voice sythesizers (such as screen readers or daisy books). But for human voices, I like to hear them at their original, natural speed".

Some history of #Captions and #AudioDescription

In multi-modal Automatic Speech Recognition, video and audio cues are combined to inform the ASR output. E.g. the sound of police sirens in the background helps recognise the phrase “we got to run.” The image of a river disambiguates "bank"

It didnt fit in the tweet, but the question is for cases where experienced subtitlers with the specific combination (best option) are not available for whatever reason. https://twitter.com/StavroulaSokoli/status/1286233479815081984

Who would you trust to subtitle your non-English content for an uncommon combination of languages? (say source=Indian, target=Greek.)
An experienced subtitler with no Source Language knowledge but an excellent human-made template?
Or a speaker of SL with no subtitling experience? -
Wouldn't it be great if @PEM_PAT became a member of @avteur? I don't know if anything can be done for the greek AVT sector, but we need to try!
-
Just to clarify: the enthusiasm was due to VERY low expectations for EN>EL. I used about 5% of MT suggestions. It's not much, but 50 subtitles is better than 0.
In other cases, I found ideas on a lexical level (also unexpected). Didn't do PEMT, as writing from scratch is faster. https://twitter.com/StavroulaSokoli/status/1283802371240460288 -
Translators with experience in Machine Translation Post Editing are also experts in preparing texts that need to go through MT. Turning passives into actives, getting rid of redundant constructions, condensing. Some strategies are very similar to #subtitling
#MTPE #PEMTMore strategies: Correcting and taking very good care of punctuation

Using MT for subtitling for the first time and I'm loving it. So many things I can use. It's nicely implemented as a feature, as I don't have to post-edit, or use at all. It's just there as a suggestion for me to look at.

There's a weird trend of people writing articles citing only one or two 2019 reference of a subject that has been introduced and discussed long ago. The authors of those 2019 articles based their research on these previous frameworks which are now obsolete and invisible I guess.

Diversifying is extremely important when you specialize in a sometimes poorly paid service like #subtitling. It helps you reject crappy rates.

"Wash your hands" as provided by Google Translate is 手を洗いなさい (te o arainasai), a style appropriate for a parent to say to a child, which is liable to leave a bad impression on posters aimed at adult, reducing compliance. https://twitter.com/dorrego/status/1280781905919606784

Quality #subtitling is teamwork. When the translator and the reviewer work together, it's great for all, and mostly for the final viewer. Such a pity that some workflows have limited the role of the QAer to that of an evaluator.

Un 5% no se revisan. P.e. series coreanas que triunfaban en Indonesia y no era necesario que el subtítulo fuera excelente pq lo que les interesaba era lo visual. Pero cuando tuvo éxito sí hizo falta pasarla por revisión humana #subtitlingNMT

It’s been possible to simply hire people to write posts, fake reviews, and misinformation. What this tool adds is scale, language fluency, and the ability to mirror the jargon and writing style of any profession or, with enough samples, any individual.

All caps are harder to read than mixed case and shouldn't be used for all subtitles. It's in the Netflix timed text guidelines, after all: "use sentence case to improve readability". @Netflixhelps can this be fixed? https://twitter.com/delcontexto/status/1230851647343136769

#Subtitlers often face internal battles. Subtitles need to reflect orality AND be correct at the same time. If you can't do both, which side do you pick? Use the grammatically "correct" form (used by few) or the form used in everyday speech (as is original dialogue at hand)?

Human-written text showed more variation in word usage and structure between back-translations than machine-translated text. The more times a text was machine-translated, the more similar the back-translation was to the original

https://slator.com/academia/researchers-propose-new-way-to-detect-machine-translation-maybe-google-could-use-it/ -
Another issue when #subtitling from #templates is the bigger gap between original and translation resulting from the cumulative difference in levels. Say a taboo word may become much stronger (or weaker) because the template used a slightly different level.
Example: ST=slightly informal > Template=slightly formal > TT=quite formal

This begs the question: Should these needs be covered by the same set of #subtitles? And if you choose to include every exclamation to cover the need for "noisy environment", shouldn't other meaningful nonverbal sounds also be included? #subtitleomission #oversubtitling https://twitter.com/StavroulaSokoli/status/1189863996255551489
-
According to #Netflix, #subtitles - or timed text, as they call them - "are needed not only to translate foreign language dialogue, and provide the deaf and hard of hearing access to content, but also to allow one to watch content in a noisy environment".
Language learning too!

A reflection on #untranslatability of words. Of course they can be translated, maybe not with a single word. Obviously, cultures have different neeeds and don't always create one specific word for a concept.

Here's an example of terrible timing in a #subtitling #template: The utterance lasts 2,5 seconds and there is no pause or shot change. The author does not know (or bother) to fit it in one subtitle and creates two, affecting readability in all languages.

Tip for Greek, Spanish, French, German #subtitlers using an English template to translate from a language you don't speak: When the character says "Please drop the formal treatment", go back & check all the previous you's. They probably need to be "εσείς, usted, vous, Sie" 🙂

An excellent definition of #translation. But only in the academic sense (my world too). In the market, translation is what Google does. So you need to give it a different name.

"Journals and funders prefer novel research. There is no Nobel Prize for replication." Even if a low p-value is an invitation to reproduce the experiment, to help validate the result, that doesn't always happen.

Dear students of paid online courses: You're paying for a tutor, but that doesn't mean you get to skip reading the (carefully written and 100-times tested) instructions and send a vague "I can't install the software". Have the courtesy and send a screenshot, at least.

This cry is just about positioning of subtitles, but it's good to know I'm not the only one who hates top-aligned subtitles. Why cover faces so as not to cover opening credits at the bottom of the screen? You can't read them anyway…https://lnkd.in/g2VUbgd https://lnkd.in/g79s5pf

#Dubbing hits the German headlines too. Similar issues as in Spanish reports, e.g. actors having to work with no image (or just mouths visible) in #GoT. Same emphasis on actors as if the most important part of the process. Curious timing. #subtitlingheadlines https://twitter.com/AVUE_eV/status/1126161111508713472

#Subtitling skills, such as condensing and rephrasing for readability, are necessary in social media, where text is read as fast as subtitles (and rarely re-read). E.g. when trying to fit content on a LinkedIn post (1,300 chars) or to create self-contained tweets in threads

#Subtitlers and #dubbers should be experts in #screenwriting techniques. Characters need to feel authentic, each one with their own manner of speech. Otherwise, we can't buy into the story and that detaches us. #Subtitling #AVT https://youtu.be/omF_1Ep7Sx0?t=305

Issues causing #redelivery in #subtitling: The use of ellipsis to mark a pause (how long a pause?) and starting the next sentence with uppercase or not. The use of #comma, as well: when it is a matter of personal preference, I'd rather see fewer commas in a subtitle than too many

#NMT does not provide fuzzy matches for easy post-editing. Quality estimation is extremely difficult. We first need to become more confident in understanding NMT outputs #2018tef
-
Does using #NMT need a different skillset from #MT? Translators don't need to learn how ot code (don't need to know how the motor works to drive a car). But it's a good idea to know the reality behind the hype #2018tef
-
Most CAT tools presenting only one of the possible solutions? Not in my experience! #2018tef
-
Is #NMT the enemy of translators? It's definitely the elephant in the room #2018tef
-
With constrained decoding - now able to handle terminology in #NMT (previously not possible) #2018tef
-
#NMT produces very fluent translations which are often VERY wrong #2018tef
-
#NMT working well with low resource scenarios (e.g. rare language pairs) #2018tef
-
#NMT needs cleaner and in-domain data (less is more). Smart people are needed to manipulate the algorithms, look into the "black box" #2018tef
-
#NMT Not a black box as long as there humans involved in the algorithms. You just can't trace a result easily #2018tef
-
Didn't appreciate the speakers comment that "all maths and vectors are not for this audience, not for linguists" #2018tef
-
#NMT another hype? My question too! #2018tef
-
And now an all-male panel. This time started with a public comment on this. I look forward to the days these comments are totally irrelevant #2018tef
-
Who likes doing repetitive tasks? These jobs are gone. Linguists and translators can adapt to new developments. In any case, humans should be in the loop (even for self-driving cars). We need a mindset that embraces change, keep training, make best use of AI #2018tef
-
People noticed that the panel on #AI is all-female. I didn't. And I wouldn't if it was all-male. Does it even matter? Am I too used to seeing women in panels? #2018tef
-
"Do not assume something is objective simply because it is #datadriven" Well, users of Facebook should know about #algorithm bias. But even with robust algorithms, data should be good too (not poorly selected, incomplete, outdated) #2018tef
-
#AI in everyday life: We have enough regulations, do not need more. Trust is good, but proof of trust is better. Transparency algorithmic tools are needed: algorithms checking that other algorithms are doing what they are supposed to do #2018TEF

Netflix anticipates being able to meet forthcoming EU content requirements but they think that "quotas, regardless of market size, can negatively impact both the customer experience and creativity.

Celebrating #translationday with one my favorite things: #subtitling a comedy full of untranslatable puns and obscure cultural references
-
25% of #Amazon's upcoming titles are dramas, while 23% of #Netflix's are comedies. Both are developing plenty of sci-fi and fantasy content, though, as is #Apple as it prepares to enter the streaming game https://www.businessinsider.com/chart-shows-netflix-and-amazon-genre-breakdown-for-tv-and-movies-2018-9
-
A great challenge for a #translator is to make sense of a poorly written text, understand the greater context, and try to achieve the goal, whether it is to sell, persuade, entertain, etc. I can't see how #AI or #neural #MT can do that (though it's doing great with good texts)

Today's #TranslationMetaphors: #Translation is the silent waiter of #linguistic performance: It often gets noticed only when it knocks over the serving cart. #Translators are like #ninjas: if you notice them, they’re no good - I prefer the second, what about you @interpretaatioo?

#Horror films with #audiodescription (no watching) are either objectively scarier or my imagination is too wild.
-
#Subtitling is indeed such a vulnerable mode of #translation. It sadly seems that non-#verbatim renderings (or non-literal translations) receive endless criticism from viewers who keep comparing with what they (half) understand in the audio.
-
The #subtitler's joy is the #audiodescriber's hell: lots of onscreen action

#Extinction is even worse than #Annihilation
-
#audiodescription Characters whose names have not yet been yet introduced are described according to hairstyle (dark-haired, long-haired, bald). Is this a norm a guideline or a rule? Weird opening scene in #sense8. Also found in #Extinction
-
Text in the #subtitles should be segmented to keep syntactic phrases together. This is particularly important in the case of two clauses or sentences separated by a punctuation mark. It seems less important with verb phrases like auxiliary and main verb #subtitling #research https://twitter.com/ESIST_official/status/1022815112405630976

Unexpected audiences for #AD are emerging because of user engagement. For example, the elderly, people with intellectual disabilities, and people whose first language is not English https://www.policyforum.net/telling-like-audio-description-australia/amp/?__twitter_impression=true

Cultures, gender, and even age can pose barriers to communication. An over-reliance on technology is leading to our cultural and political decline https://singularityhub.com/2018/03/04/why-hasnt-ai-mastered-language-translation/

For the time being, the jobs of #translators—and lawyers, doctors, journalists, literary agents—are safe. Some would even say their jobs are better. But we have to accept that #AI is rapidly mastering tasks that we have long deemed off-limits for machines https://www.wired.com/story/welcome-to-the-era-of-the-ai-coworker/

For #subtitlers it's exactly the opposite. Equally frustrating. https://twitter.com/Mox_Translator/status/969497959678271489

#Netflix disrupts the #Greek #AVT landscape by offering #dubbed versions of English-speaking series like #BlackLightning . And they are good quality too. Viewers seem to have mixed feelings, let's see how the experiment goes.

12cps is for Greek TV. Netflix guidelines dictate up to 17cps for all languages. Mind you, some years ago, for DVD it was 20cps or even more, so 17 is an improvement. https://twitter.com/ASzarkowska/status/952796946481246208

Oh the suspense of writing a #subtitle while wondering whether the sentence you have in your mind will make it in the end. Will the final letter go red? -No? Great, I don't have to rewrite it. -Red? Just one letter? Come on...
