Just remembered participating in the first number of this excellent publication. It was a different world back then. Do obsolete articles have any historical value?(probably not) Wishing RevTradumatica many happy returns! http://www.fti.uab.es/tradumatica/revista/sumari/sumari.htm https://twitter.com/RevTradumatica/status/1075885743736795137

There's this colleague (coordinates a group) who uses uppercase for emphasis. Very annoying. As if she's talking to inferiors. If you don't want to sound rude, stay clear of uppercase. Find another way to emphasize. And be nice to everyone, someday they might be your "superior".

At last, Netflix has understood my viewing habits and I get default settings for both #captions and #audiodescription. I bet somebody is looking at the algorithms wondering about this new category of viewers that are both blind and deaf

Just for today, I declare myself the Queen of Rhymes. #Subtitling rhyming speech for an audience who can grasp some of the original, plus there are visual cues that you have to stick to. It's mind-twisting but oh so rewarding.
-
Really bad news... https://variety.com/2018/tv/news/daredevil-canceled-1203054452/
-
OK I have some rhymes including puns to wrestle with. Is there anything harder than this in #subtitling?
And she says "dashes through the snow" doing that precise thing. So I can't play around with the equivalent Xmas song in Greek - which has nothing to do with dashing nor snow 😭
Hang on! There is another xmas song with snow - how didn't I think of that before?

It's funny how you decide not to watch a very popular film, because you know you'll hate it, and then you're asked to work on it #subtitlerlife
-
It is the first foray into foreign-language television for HBO. Not only is it in Italian, but large parts of the dialogue are in 50s #Neapolitan #dialect, which most Italians will need #subtitles to undertand. Thanks @interpretaatioo https://twitter.com/ykomska/status/1061656776322531328

Thinking of a scenario of #translation being paid per hour of work - but where everyone is paid the same. Experts with tools would be much cheaper than newbies 🤪 #2018TEF

Planning to watch this tonight to find out about EU policies for "removing" and "bringing down language barriers", a title reminding us that the existence of different languages is undesirable, something to get rid of (the Tower of Babel... https://youtu.be/sn3QPmaJPhI?t=329

The European Social Fund is a good framework for freelance translators (Erasmus is focused mainly on mobiity) #2018tef

Erasmus budget might get doubled? Did I hear right? #2018tef
It was announced in May, we'll know in 2019. http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_IP-18-3948_en.htm
-
Yet again... Translation = change this word for that one, charge this word x money... Why do we still have to talk about those things? #2018TEF https://twitter.com/emmabecciu/status/1060534545303437313
-
Absolutely. The only problem being that it is not easy to budget (whereas number of source words are the only objective measure you have). Any suggestions to solve that? https://twitter.com/WordLo/status/1060534300339249152
-
#2018tef conference participants (many #translators and linguists) views on how #MT will affect the #language profession
My view is also visible there 😀
-
Yeah right, the French complaining about English only communication. Makes the rest of us non-English, non-French feel... ugh #2018tef
-
Let's talk about democratization of #MT building and training. Google, e.g., offers open-source tools. For the moment, it's for the experts and the rich (needs lots of GPU etc) #2018tef
-
So, fellow #translators, make sure you stay up-to-date. Stop whining and complaining about machines stealing jobs and see what you can do to fit in the changing landscape https://twitter.com/emmabecciu/status/1060489142084272128
-
#MT systems are not developed with the #translator in mind. And that's only natural. Their ultimate goal is to replace the intermediary between source and target #2018tef
-
#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 Launch Synthesised Audio Description http://doubletap.online/netflix-launch-synthesised-audio-description

I got this public message from a fellow translator: "I am watching Daredevil and indeed I don't have to 'work' while I watch. Congratulations!" Feeling fantastic but at the same time being reminded how vulnerable #subtitles are

Well, it seems that they're doing it with film #subtitling now too. Yep, chop it up, spread it all over. Speeds things up they say. Is there a way we can fight against this trend? Maybe if we all turn down such jobs? #CITA5 https://twitter.com/GiftedXL8tor/status/1045326125243731968

#Subtitling is an afterthought in the production chain. If there is a way to move it further up the chain, to highlight it's importance, to bundle it up with other services maybe we can change the status of the people who work in it #CITA5
-
Will viewers stop watching Netflix if the #subtitles do not follow the specifications they are used to? (not wrong, just different) Is there research about it? Question for @HenrikOslo #CITA5
-
Netflix is a born disruptor and might want to change #subtitling specifications, even in Norway I'm afraid, despite @HenrikOslo's and associations' efforts. If their research leads to a conclusion, why not? And we are talking about BIG data #CITA5

Hablando de plazos cortos, la nueva moda de algunas empresas grandes es hacer trocitos del video y entregarlo a varios #subtituladores. ¿Qué podemos hacer para que esto no se convierta en la norma? #CITA5

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. We believe a more effective way for a country to support strong local content is to directly incentivize local content creators"

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)

Difference between natural speech and scripted speech. Words that have been carefully thought of are easier to #subtitle than random speech by people who don't know how to express themselves and you have to figure out what the hell they're really trying to say

Professional #subtitling is not about watching films and series for free. The video quality is bad and the image is covered by huge logos, so you don't get to see much. What you do get is a huge spoiler for the film you'd like to watch

-
#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

Apart from legal, ethical etc. issues, there is an additional question: Can an #interpreter recall discussions? In my experience with simultaneous interpretation, it is almost impossible.

I just wrote a #subtitle for a series that I know my 13-year old god-daughter is watching. And it reads "they can kiss my police-blue ass" (στα παπάρια μου τα μπλε). I didn't tone it down. And it's weird but so funny.

J.M. Harvey, you have a huge fan here. Cries definitely do not deserve a #subtitle (Help, help, help! John! Come on! Fast! = 6 subtitles). Some #subtitlers argue omitting them "creates a hole" (!) https://twitter.com/MigratingTexts/status/992338596299526144

#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

Dear #English #template creators, when you use "you" could you pls add a note so that we know whether it's singular or plural? Luckily sometimes it shows on the video (the speaker seems to point at two people, unless it's a #Danish gesture I don't get) - but not always...

#Subtitling from Danish to Greek through English. I so don't like doing it... Having to rely on the English template. Well, there's the image that helps, but not always.
