Hoje vamos tocar em um assunto que parece ser meio espinhoso para profissionais do idioma. Já ouvimos muitos colegas dizendo que educar clientes não é responsabilidade nossa; que devemos prestar os nossos serviços de acordo com as diretrizes e práticas da clientela. Porém, muitos de nós acreditamos que faz parte do processo conscientizar a clientela sobre o que a gente faz, porque muitos clientes não entendem bem como tradução e interpretação funcionam. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Deixe uma mensagem de voz Mande um email Episódios original em inglês: Client Education e Ideal Clients Crédito das imagens do Pexels: Yan Krukau *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* O "Cantinho para tradutores" é a versão brasileira do podcast "Translation Confessional", uma produção do Tools and Technology in Translation, uma iniciativa educacional criada por Rafa Lombardino para auxiliar profissionais do idioma.

Hoje vamos falar sobre algo que está em alta: ferramentas de inteligência artificial. Mais especificamente, o ChatGPT. Parece até que o mundo virou de cabeça para baixo recentemente com a inovação! Apesar de muita gente achar que essa história é o fim do mundo, e que profissionais da língua logo serão substituídos pela tecnologia, nós precisamos na verdade olhar para esse advento com a mente aberta e de maneira otimista. Afinal, em vez de resistir aos avanços tecnológicos, deveríamos encontrar um jeito de usar ferramentas novas em nosso benefício para facilitar o nosso trabalho. Neste episódio, vamos falar sobre os seguintes tópicos: O que é o ChatGPT? Como pode ajudar tradutores e intérpretes? Como se compara com a tradução automática? E, finalmente, o ChatGPT vai substituir seres humanos que traduzem e interpretam? *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Deixe uma mensagem de voz Mande um email Episódio original em inglês: How Can ChatGPT Help Translators Crédito das imagens do Pexels: Alex Knight, Kindel Media, Fauxels, Pixabay, Sora Shimazaki, Tima Miroshnichenko, Mikhail Nilov, and Nothing Ahead *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* O "Cantinho para tradutores" é a versão brasileira do podcast "Translation Confessional", uma produção do Tools and Technology in Translation, uma iniciativa educacional criada por Rafa Lombardino para auxiliar profissionais do idioma.

Today we would like to talk about something very trendy: AI tools. More specifically, ChatGPT. The world has been taken by storm by this innovation, and, while there's always a lot of doom and gloom about technology replacing translators and interpreters whenever something new appears in the horizon, it's crucial that we, language professionals, face innovations with a clear mind and optimistic attitude. After all, instead of resisting technological advancements, we should find ways to use new tools to our advantage and make our work easier. This episode will address the following topics: What is ChatGPT? How can it help translators and interpreters? How does it compare to machine translation solutions? And, will ChatGPT replace human translators and interpreters? *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE: https://buff.ly/3YOgCgn *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* READ THIS EPISODE ON KINDLE VELLA (Available at Amazon US store only) https://buff.ly/3IXZ0cF *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* IMAGE CREDIT: PEXELS Alex Knight, Kindel Media, Fauxels, Pixabay, Sora Shimazaki, Tima Miroshnichenko, Mikhail Nilov, and Nothing Ahead *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* THROWBACK TO OTHER EPISODES: Machine Translation: To MT or Not to MT: https://buff.ly/3khp6NX How Freelancers and Tech Can Help You Grow: https://buff.ly/3WVe2o9 Technology and Translators: https://buff.ly/3GyfZ3H *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* STAY IN TOUCH!

The acquisition of small businesses owned by language professionals is a trend that has been growing in recent years. Language professionals such as translators, interpreters, subtitlers, and language consultants are often the sole providers of services related to language knowledge, and as such, their businesses are highly specialized and unique. But, what happens then for a language talent who sells their small business? Would they become an employee of their former company after such an acquisition? Could they retire comfortably? In this episode, we pose these and many other questions about this recent trend. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE: https://youtu.be/RgvcHqhKanw *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* IMAGE CREDIT: PEXELS Gustavo Fring, Ivan Samkov, and Tima Miroshnichenko *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* THROWBACK TO OTHER EPISODES: Translators and Translation Agencies: https://buff.ly/3QIB0eE Mergers and Acquisitions: https://buff.ly/3R6Gikd Providing Good Customer Service: https://buff.ly/3QJgr1n *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* STAY IN TOUCH!

Are you ready for Season 4 of the Translation Confessional podcast? We hope you are, because we have a couple of new things coming up this year. First of all, we're changing our schedule to release new episodes every other Wednesday. We are also releasing the transcription of each episode on Kindle Vella, which as of now is only available for Amazon US users. That should hold you over before the actual book version comes out. Oops! Did I say that aloud? Apart from that, we are also working on the Brazilian version of our podcast! The title translates to "little corner for translators," but I'll let our hosts introduce themselves right now: Olá! Meu nome é Ana. E eu sou o Marco. Somos a voz do Cantinho para tradutores. Well, if you speak Portuguese, you can catch the Brazilian episodes every other Wednesday when the Translation Confessional episodes in English are taking the week off. We can't wait to hear from you about the upcoming topics we'll be bringing up for discussion. Feel free to send us voice messages or emails using the links on this episode's description. For now, our podcast team would like to wish you a very happy new year, full of interesting projects! *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Read transcripts here: https://tinyurl.com/TC-kindlevella Speak out: Leave a voice message Send an email: rlombardino@wordawareness.com *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* By the way, if you're interested in checking out "Tools and Technology in Translation," here are some links: » Book » Online Class » YouTube Channel » Podcast » Webinars » Facebook Page » Twitter » Website » Email --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/translation-confessional/message

Today we would like to talk about internationalization. Do you know what it is? Considering the name alone, you would think it is all about making something become "international," right? Well, yes, and no. In previous episodes, our podcast host Rafa Lombardino talked about "domestication" and "foreignization" in literary translations. We also featured an episode about localization and transcreation. Make sure to check this episode's description for links to these past episodes. However, there is more at play when it comes to internationalization. It's closely related to information technology, actually. In order to dig deeper into this subject, we're featuring yet another article by George Kasiouras, with Transifex. George's article is great to help both translators and translation clients understand what internationalization means. And, because we've adapted the original article to fit this format, you can read George's original blog entry here. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE: https://buff.ly/3F8slxV *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* THROWBACK TO OTHER EPISODES: Translating Fiction https://buff.ly/3hIxFzS Translation, Localization & Transcreation https://buff.ly/3A66Tri What are Translation Management Systems? https://buff.ly/3UvnRI0 Translating for the IT Industry https://buff.ly/3VyomBa *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* CHECK OUT THIS EPISODE'S SPONSOR: Solo.to ― Your Versatile Social Bio https://solo.to/inv/NTAwNDg *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* By the way, if you're interested in checking out "Tools and Technology in Translation," here are some links: » Book » Online Class » YouTube Channel » Podcast » Webinars » Facebook Page » Twitter » Website » Email *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Stay tuned for weekly episodes and subscribe to Translation Confessional through your favorite podcast app. To learn more about my background as a translator and translation instructor, visit my professional website at RafaLombardino.com Send me an email with feedback, ideas, and requests to RLombardino@WordAwareness.com --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/translation-confessional/message

If you are a language professional working for yourself, you should really consider establishing your own business. Not only will it help you organize your resources and finances but it will also protect your personal assets and may simplify the way you file your taxes. In most cases, clients may view you differently, especially if they are yet to see freelancers as experts, who add value to their products and services, and have a long-established career in a given field. In other words, speaking on behalf of your own business, even if it's a company of one, can open many doors and show potential clients that you are dedicated to using your skills and providing language services in the long run, as opposed to working sporadically in your field, doing side jobs. However, in order to command such respect from potential clients, and project an image of business continuity, you must select a strong name that will make clients remember you for what you do, so they feel comfortable coming back to you again and again whenever they have a language need, thus creating a solid business relationship with you. Today, we will talk about how to avoid frequent mistakes people make when selecting a name for their business. We're featuring an article written by Grant Polachek, who is the head of branding for Squadhelp.com, a startup that has become a crowdsource naming platform by reviewing and curating the best available names on the web today. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* CLICK HERE TO READ THE ARTICLE and check out links to the bad examples mentioned *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE: https://youtu.be/Muom22Eh3Gk *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* CHECK OUT THIS EPISODE'S SPONSOR: Solo.to ― Your Versatile Social Bio https://solo.to/inv/NTAwNDg *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Photos by Anna Shvets at Pexels.com *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* By the way, if you're interested in checking out "Tools and Technology in Translation," here are some links: » Book » Online Class » YouTube Channel » Podcast » Webinars » Facebook Page » Twitter » Website » Email *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Stay tuned for weekly episodes and subscribe to Translation Confessional through your favorite podcast app. To learn more about Rafa's background as a translator and translation instructor, visit RafaLombardino.com.

Today we'll talk about a very important topic: politics in translation. Rafa sat down with Nicolás Arízaga, English and Spanish translator and interpreter at Pole Translations. He explained the crucial role of language professionals who assist politicians, campaigns, and political parties who wish to connect with an audience that speaks a foreign language. When it comes to working in politics, translators go beyond translating. We act as language advisors and transcreators to help craft a message to a completely different demographics than that of the original message in the source language. Considering that, the role of translators and interpreters in political campaigns and time in office is crucial to connect, bridge, and influence bilingual and non-native-speaking constituents in their own language. And, if you'll be attending the American Translators Association conference in Los Angeles this year, be sure to check his session: “Political Translation: Speech Writing, Storytelling, and Discourse Analysis”. His session will explore transcreation strategies that take into consideration the sociopolitical, intercultural, and ideological biases present in the target language's audience. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE: https://youtu.be/WRGeabUWFqw *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* CHECK OUT THIS EPISODE'S SPONSOR: Newsly ― For Your Listening Pleasure Use Promo Code TRANSCNF at https://www.newsly.me *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Photos by Element5 Digital and Markus Spiske Videos by Edmond Dantès and cottonbro at Pexels.com *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* By the way, if you're interested in checking out "Tools and Technology in Translation," here are some links: » Book » Online Class » YouTube Channel » Podcast » Webinars » Facebook Page » Twitter » Website » Email *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Stay tuned for weekly episodes and subscribe to Translation Confessional through your favorite podcast app. To learn more about Rafa's background as a translator and translation instructor, visit RafaLombardino.com.

Last episode, we talked about the process of becoming a sworn translator in Brazil and Guatemala, and compared it to the concept of certified translations, since the role of a sworn translator does not exist in the United States. Considering that, this seems to be a good opportunity to go into more detail about what it means to certify a translation, go over a few misconceptions, and share some tips on how to provide a good service to direct clients who have a very concrete need for translation services. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE: https://youtu.be/dHXw8qt5tZA *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* About the apostille process: U.S. Department of State ― Bureau of Consular Affairs HCCH (Hague Conference on Private International Law) *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* 4-Chapter Course on How to Become Certified https://tinyurl.com/LEO-transexam *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* CHECK OUT THIS EPISODE'S SPONSOR: Centered ― Focus While Minding Your Work Join Rafa in this workspace for free www.centered.app/translations Use promo code TRANSLATIONS for 1-month free or $10 off a premium account *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Photo by Ron Lach from Pexels *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* By the way, if you're interested in checking out "Tools and Technology in Translation," here are some links: » Book » Online Class » YouTube Channel » Podcast » Webinars » Facebook Page » Twitter » Website » Email *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Stay tuned for weekly episodes and subscribe to Translation Confessional through your favorite podcast app. To learn more about Rafa's background as a translator and translation instructor, visit RafaLombardino.com.

Today we'll be addressing a very interesting topic: Sworn translations. In order to shed some light on the subject, Rafa talked to two of her peers to bring us more information on sworn translations in two specific countries: Brazil and Guatemala. Candice Soldatelli is a sworn translator from Brazil, and she'll explain what the process is like when translators take a very specific exam organized by the company registry office in their respective state. Ilduara Escobedo is a sworn translator from Guatemala, and she'll talk about the steps translators need to follow when taking the exam organized by the Guatemalan Department of Education. As for Rafa, she'll share her own experiences as an ATA-certified translator, since there isn't a specific process to swear in translators in the United States. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE: https://youtu.be/olfVdCzULGk *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* CHECK OUT THIS EPISODE'S SPONSOR: Centered ― Focus While Minding Your Work Join Rafa in this workspace for free www.centered.app/translations Use promo code TRANSLATIONS for 1-month free or $10 off a premium account *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Photo by Ron Lach from Pexels *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* By the way, if you're interested in checking out "Tools and Technology in Translation," here are some links: » Book » Online Class » YouTube Channel » Podcast » Webinars » Facebook Page » Twitter » Website » Email *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Stay tuned for weekly episodes and subscribe to Translation Confessional through your favorite podcast app. To learn more about Rafa's background as a translator and translation instructor, visit RafaLombardino.com.

I was so organized pre-pandemic. I had the best of both worlds: work and family life. After the lockdown began, I lost my way. Because I work for myself, I went into business survivor mode. After all, where else would I go besides my home office? The gym was closed. There were no more afternoon escapes for lunch and a movie. There was this uncertainty in the air: Will clients disappear? When will the next project come in? We didn't know how long the pandemic would last and the "new normal" seemed to have come to stay. Then I took two weeks off this spring break to enjoy a much-needed vacation, and that's when I realized: I cannot go back to that crazy routine anymore. I need to find that balance I had before. But how could I break all the bad habits that became the norm after early 2020? Well, it turns out I just needed a little push. And, believe me, I thought it wasn't going to work. But after doing this for a while now and creating a new routine, I feel much more in control. I feel CENTERED. So, if you're having problems as a freelancer trying to go back to being productive and organized AND having a life, or if you never got to enjoy that feeling of being on top of things pre-pandemic, there's actually a place you can go, without leaving your home office, where you can find structure in a very intuitive and pleasant way. We can all meet there and focus together, but apart. Distant, but connected. It's a place where you can sit down, get to work, take breaks, and when you're done with your projects and tasks you get to walk away… Check out this page to find out what worked for me and may work for you, too. Come get CENTERED with me and kick the pandemic funk off your freelancing life. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/translation-confessional/message

Today we would like to get into a controversial subject: Machine Translation. We are all very familiar with the doom and gloom associated with the use of technology when it comes to language services. Many people who don't understand how language technology works mistakenly think that software, apps, or even robots will soon replace translators in the near future. Considering that, we came across an interesting article that highlights the positive aspects of this technology by arguing how neural machine translation, or NMT, isn't our enemy. We reached out to the author, Joachim Lépine, a French-to-English translator based in Quebec, and asked for his authorization to bring his article to Translation Confessional. Joachim not only authorized us to bring you his article, but he also sat down with Rafa to talk about his approach to MTs when he works on his own translation projects, and how he helps his translation students interact with MT as well.

Let's talk about Cultural Intelligence and explore how language is part of a bigger picture when it comes to interacting with people from a different background. Yes, it's important to communicate well when speaking your own language or the language of others. However, effective communication isn't about language skills alone. Cultural aspects also come into play when expressing yourself and understanding the people you are talking to. To introduce this fascinating topic, we'll read an article titled "Brazilian Emotional Intelligence: Affection, Language and the Intricacies of Belonging," written by Adrienne Sweetwater and Mariana Barros, partners at a company called Differänce, which offers intercultural consulting services to companies and expatriates who must not only cross geographical borders, but bridge gaps between different cultures as well. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE: https://youtu.be/P6TqJYQOvpA *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* CHECK OUT THIS EPISODE'S SPONSOR: Centered ― Focus While Minding Your Work Join Rafa in this workspace for free www.centered.app/translations Use promo code TRANSLATIONS for 1-month free or $10 off a premium account *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Photo by George Milton from Pexels *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* By the way, if you're interested in checking out "Tools and Technology in Translation," here are some links: » Book » Online Class » YouTube Channel » Podcast » Webinars » Facebook Page » Twitter » Website » Email *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Stay tuned for weekly episodes and subscribe to Translation Confessional through your favorite podcast app. To learn more about Rafa's background as a translator and translation instructor, visit RafaLombardino.com.

Let's hear from Holly Silvestri and Loana Denis, founding members of the American Association of Interpreters and Translators in Education (AAITE), a non-profit professional organization that promotes advocacy, education, and professionalization for language professionals who work in educational settings. In this interview, they discuss how important it is to raise awareness about the role of interpreters and translators who ensure language access to those students and families in the U.S. school system who have English as a second language. Most importantly, they talk about the creation of a Code of Ethics to guide professionals in this particular field, which is also closely related to the community, health, privacy, and legal fields.

Here's a quick message to recommend yet another translation podcast to you. It's called “TranslatorsPod101” and it's hosted by “Translators101,” a learning platform for Portuguese-speaking language professionals that is pretty much a Netflix for translators! Both the podcast and the learning platform were created by William Cassemiro, former president of the Brazilian Association of Translators (ABRATES) and, I'm happy to say, also a dear friend of mine. If you speak Portuguese, I couldn't recommend it more. You can listen to the interviews available on the podcast and sign up as a member of the platform to enjoy not only live events, but also all the on-demand recordings available on a variety of topics, from general subjects about translation, interpretation, and everything related to languages and freelancing, all the way to very specific webinars on translating video games and board games, organizing your finances, solving some pesky vocabulary issues, and making your translations sound natural. Well, listen in as William tells you more about it in our native language, Portuguese.

We're back with yet another conversation that I was eager to share with you. Today I'm talking with Ana Osorio, who was born in Venezuela to a Colombian family. She was a little girl living in Medellin during the Pablo Escobar era. Because of that, she's very familiar with the "Paisa" dialect. While pursuing an Advanced Master's Degree in Translation and Interpreting studies at Macquarie University in Australia, the topic of her thesis was, you guessed it, the Narcos series that premiered on Netflix in 2015 and focused on Escobar's ascent and descent in the late 1970s through the early 1990s. So Ana and I sat down to talk about what she researched while writing her thesis and what her impressions were about the first two seasons of Narcos. And considering the topic of our conversation, this episode is marked as explicit for strong language, so your discretion is advised. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE: https://youtu.be/DSLIYPDGtb0 *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* THROWBACK TO OTHER EPISODES: Subtitling Work https://youtu.be/uEV8_kNg-jo Behind the Scenes in Subtitling https://youtu.be/aPJmZf-ktyY Introduction to Subtitling https://youtu.be/M8uzC94r7X8 *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* CHECK OUT THIS EPISODE'S SPONSOR: TransTools ― Little Tricks for Translators https://tinyurl.com/tc-transtools *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* By the way, if you're interested in checking out "Tools and Technology in Translation," here are some links: » Book » Online Class » YouTube Channel » Podcast » Webinars » Facebook Page » Twitter » Website » Email *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Stay tuned for weekly episodes and subscribe to Translation Confessional through your favorite podcast app. To learn more about my background as a translator and translation instructor, visit my professional website at RafaLombardino.com Send me an email with feedback, ideas, and requests to RLombardino@WordAwareness.com --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/translation-confessional/message

Today I wanted to share with you a conversation I had with Fabiane Guimarães, a Brazilian author with whom I worked on the translation sample of her debut novel, "Apague a luz se for chorar," which literally invites readers to turn off the lights if they're about to cry. Find the book in Portuguese here: https://tinyurl.com/apaguealuz We talked about our collaboration and some choices we've made while putting the sample together, which include the need to internationalize her book to keep it's authentic "Brazilianness," since the story is set in the Midwest of Brazil. We also talked about some equivalents we've found for certain terms, so as not to jolt readers of English out of the story and, mainly, how we came up with a suggest title in English that could be as enigmatic and impactful as the original. As an avid reader, Fabiane also recommended some books she enjoyed reading and talked about the style and themes other authors have explored and how they compare with her own writing style as an author. You can watch my conversation with Fabiane with subtitles in English. And, while we keep our fingers crossed for a translation contract to be signed soon, so that her book can be made available to readers of English, I'd also like to recommend a brief reading she had with excerpts of her book, which also includes subtitles in English: https://tinyurl.com/fabiane-leitura I hope you soon have a chance to read "Apague a luz se for chorar" in English, so you can let me know if you indeed cried by the end of the book and whether you had to turn off the lights in order to do so. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/translation-confessional/message

I was really looking forward to the upcoming episodes of Translation Confessional because I have a few conversations that I'm eager to share with you. Today we'll have Part 2 of an interview with Damián Santilli, audiovisual translator and translation instructor from Argentina. If you haven't listened to Part 1 yet, check it out for an animated conversation on neutral Spanish in audiovisual translations, regional expressions, accents in Spanish-speaking content, and preparing the new generation for shifts in audiovisual translation demands. Now, to wrap up our conversation, you'll hear us talking about his thesis on the dubbed version of the movie "Deadpool" into Spanish, as it was shown in Latin America. We'll go through some specific examples from his detailed case study and, as expected, expletives abound. While we wait for his thesis to get published, visit Damián's website for more information on his work. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE: https://youtu.be/sHbvtlcmV_E *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* THROWBACK TO OTHER EPISODES: Part 1 of the Interview With Damián Santilli Neutral Spanish in Audiovisual Translation https://youtu.be/Q-unPDdQ5BI Subtitling Work https://youtu.be/uEV8_kNg-jo Behind the Scenes in Subtitling https://youtu.be/aPJmZf-ktyY Introduction to Subtitling https://youtu.be/M8uzC94r7X8 Controversy in Subtitling: "Squid Game" https://youtu.be/HqWdXDYtCQI *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* CHECK OUT THIS EPISODE'S SPONSOR: TransTools ― Fix Line Breaks Quickly https://tinyurl.com/tc-transtools *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* By the way, if you're interested in checking out "Tools and Technology in Translation," here are some links: » Book » Online Class » YouTube Channel » Podcast » Webinars » Facebook Page » Twitter » Website » Email *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Stay tuned for weekly episodes and subscribe to Translation Confessional through your favorite podcast app. To learn more about my background as a translator and translation instructor, visit my professional website at RafaLombardino.com Send me an email with feedback, ideas, and requests to RLombardino@WordAwareness.com --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/translation-confessional/message

It's not easy to navigate the professional world by yourself and without the support of a company. While freelancing can free you from the shackles of traditional corporate life, you're left to fend for yourself in a highly-competitive world. Independent workers face huge challenges, such as finding clients, coping with periods of no work, effectively managing their time, and bossing themselves around. Failing to overcome these challenges can prevent freelancers from finding professional success. No one is truly self-sufficient. In order to succeed, freelancers should understand the value of professional networking, so I'd like to list some useful networking tips for freelancers. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE: https://youtu.be/fC5uToS-9AI *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* RECOMMENDED READING: Top Networking Tips That Can Help Freelancers Succeed https://buff.ly/3MjdByU How To Fight Stress As A Freelancer https://tinyurl.com/stress-freelancer Biggest Challenges Faced by Freelancers https://bit.ly/3sxMSXD How to Build Your Online Professional Brand https://bit.ly/3M3Pnsc Top 10 Free CRMs for Freelancers https://bit.ly/3pl8CUh *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* CHECK OUT THIS EPISODE'S SPONSOR: Squarespace ― Great-looking professional websites https://bit.ly/tc-square *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* ADDITIONAL RESOURCES: About Freelancing Building Your Professional Brand CRM Tools *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* By the way, if you're interested in checking out "Tools and Technology in Translation," here are some links: » Book » Online Class » YouTube Channel » Podcast » Webinars » Facebook Page » Twitter » Website » Email *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Stay tuned for weekly episodes and subscribe to Translation Confessional through your favorite podcast app. To learn more about my background as a translator and translation instructor, visit my professional website at RafaLombardino.com Send me an email with feedback, ideas, and requests to RLombardino@WordAwareness.com --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/translation-confessional/message

Here's a quick message to recommend yet another translation podcast to you. It's called “Troublesome Terps” and, if you're an interpreter, odds are you're already very familiar with the show and its four hosts: Sarah Hickey, Jonathan Downie, and the Alexanders―Alexander Gansmeier and Alexander Drechsel. But they don't talk about interpretation only―they cover several topics and have very animated talks and interviews. Check out this fun podcast about the many subjects that keep us, language professionals, up at night. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/translation-confessional/message

I was really looking forward to the upcoming episodes of Translation Confessional because I have a few conversations that I'm eager to share with you. Today we'll have Part 1 of a 2-part interview with Damián Santilli, audiovisual translator and translation instructor from Argentina. We sat down to talk about his thesis on the dubbed version of the movie "Deadpool" and also ended up talking about neutral Spanish in audiovisual translations, regional expressions, accents in Spanish-speaking content, preparing the new generation for shifts in audiovisual translation demands, and a lot more. Let's just say we geeked out on translation, subtitling, dubbing, and language. No wonder Damián's alias on social media is TraduGeek! I hope you enjoy this animated conversation and stay tuned for Part 2, when we'll go through some specific examples from his "Deadpool" case study. In the meantime, visit Damián's website for more information on his work and to read all about what he found out during his research once the thesis is published. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE: https://youtu.be/Q-unPDdQ5BI *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* THROWBACK TO OTHER EPISODES: Subtitling Work https://youtu.be/uEV8_kNg-jo Behind the Scenes in Subtitling https://youtu.be/aPJmZf-ktyY Introduction to Subtitling https://youtu.be/M8uzC94r7X8 Controversy in Subtitling: "Squid Game" https://youtu.be/HqWdXDYtCQI *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* CHECK OUT THIS EPISODE'S SPONSOR: TransTools ― Prevent a Tag Nightmare! https://tinyurl.com/tc-transtools *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* By the way, if you're interested in checking out "Tools and Technology in Translation," here are some links: » Book » Online Class » YouTube Channel » Podcast » Webinars » Facebook Page » Twitter » Website » Email *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Stay tuned for weekly episodes and subscribe to Translation Confessional through your favorite podcast app. To learn more about my background as a translator and translation instructor, visit my professional website at RafaLombardino.com Send me an email with feedback, ideas, and requests to RLombardino@WordAwareness.com --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/translation-confessional/message
