On #transcreation. Again. I understand the need for a new term for translators who want to redefine the way their job is perceived by clients. But do we really need it as a term in #translationstudies? #TrafilmConf

-
Jim Jarmush asked directors to shoot in more than one languages because Europe's identity lies in diversity. Isona Passola #TrafilmConf

Sometimes the client decides to dub everything in Spanish whether there are other languages or not. Otherwise it's too complicated #TrafilmConf
-
Lluis Comes: the distributors don't trust the translators so they tell them exactly how they have to deal with multilingualism #TrafilmConf

Is it true that #subtitling and #dubbing talents are urgently needed and that trained professionals are hard to find? https://slator.com/features/audiovisual-translation-hits-sweet-spot-subscription-video-on-demand-skyrockets/
-
Could #subtitling put you in danger? If they look into my browser history I'm sure they'll arrest me for all those guns and drugs searches.

Just a week away from the Trafilm Conference on #Multilingualism and #Audiovisual #Translation in Barcelona http://fb.me/6Tb3Arb1y

Choosing whether to subtitle or not can have wider implications and even be considered divisive https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/tvandradioblog/2012/jul/19/subtitling-risk-racially-offensive
-
On the verge of tendinitis, decided to start #voicetyping #subtitles with (what else) Google docs. Thankfully I have the office to myself, who would feel comfortable listening to all those four-letter words
-
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...
-
The bridge as a translation metaphor implies that the opposite sides of the river remain where they are.
-
When #Googletranslate fails it fails big. There may be no typos, only few syntax errors, but you will surely find huge (and hilarious) #mistranslations which can severely damage your content. Beware. #xl8 #neuralMT
-
"When is less actually more?" I saw it in a different context but it's such a cool name for a presentation on subtitling. Keeper.

Is there true flexibility in the gig economy? Only if you are confident enough to turn down jobs without worrying they won't call you again.
@masgourou Maria, I was just pondering that as I was deciding not to spend the next weekend working
-
#wordoftheday the noughties (2000-2009)
-
#VoiceRecognition should be embedded in #SubtitlingSoftware. Not only will it save us from tendinitis, it will also help produce more natural-sounding translations. I'm sure many #subtitlers would render some expressions differently were they obliged to say them out loud.

Or transcreation? https://twitter.com/NSClanguages/status/927910992180400128

Inaugurating #longtweets. As a #subtitler I'm a great fan of #succinctness. (sometimes accused as too laconic). But I find this an improvement as I'm also a #linguist thus not fan of truncated words, awkward spelling, twisted syntax. Nor a fun of 1/3, 2/3 Long live @longtweeting!
-
#TranslatingEurope or #TranscreatingEurope? 😃
-
If #subtitler is not a sexy term, how about dialogue-writer-for-films-and-series-in-other-languages #TranslatingEurope
-
Let the boring stuff for MT. Be trained and gain experience in doing the creative stuff human translators can do best! #TranslatingEurope
-
#Subtitlers skills: ear for tone, convey meaning, passion for languages while making the text readable (short & succinct) #TranslatingEurope
-
Sorry transcreation fans but inspiring same imotions is the main target of translation. I understand clients don't see it #TranslatingEurope
-
Machine Translation still has a question mark next to #subtitling @YotaGeorg #TranslatingEurope

Europe is the best place for #AVT translators to be. The market is flourishing @YotaGeorg #TranslatingEurope

So happy to see #revoicing used as a term @YotaGeorg #AudiovisualTranslation #TranslatingEurope
-
At last some interesting stuff! #AudiovisualTranslation #TranslatingEurope
-
If we change our name from translator to MT post editor or trancreator maybe we get higher fees? #clientmanagement #TranslatingEurope
-
To sum up perception of #Translator= channel ST>TT. Since MachineTrans does that job, we need to change name & identity #TranslatingEurope
-
Zero-shot learning is being able to solve a task despite not having received any training examples of that task #TranslatingEurope
-
By the time acad institutions get ready for cutting edge tech (#neuralMT), it may cease being cutting edge #TranslatingEurope
-
Looking for a name for our job is like searching for an identity. Translator seems too wide a term, maybe not sexy anymor #TranslatingEurope
-
#Translator profile is rapidly changing as other jobs. Life long learning is key whether u call it curiosity or open mind #TranslatingEurope
or adaptable or tech savvy etc etc
-
Reviewers and posteditors aka machine translator teachers aka cleaners #TranslatingEurope

-
Top 3 skills for #translators? My pick: #cultural, #creativity, #TeamSpirit #TranslatingEurope
-
If we stop thinking of the #translator as a vessel from ST to TT then we have a chance for a bright future #TranslatingEurope
-
Consultancy, expertise. This is the #translator's added value. All the research, the studies, the experience. #TranslatingEurope
-
Rebranding translators as language consultants? Nope. Without a title there is not a profession #TranslatingEurope @MiguelSevener
-
Post-editors are cleaners and computational linguists the gate keepers of #MachineTranslation. Good one @MiguelSevener #TranslatingEurope
-
#MachineTranslation is the protagonist of every #TranslationConference #TranslatingEurope @translatores
-
We need to find our added value as #translators. Creativity is one. Unless it is taken up by AI as well #TranslatingEurope @translatores
-
#TranslatingEurope bleak future? @MiguelSevener- Maybe not, I see a bright future for creative humans leaving repetitive work to machines.
