Florian and Esther discuss the language industry news of the week, where they reviewed ElevenLabs' AI dubbing, on the back of a USD 3bn+ valuation. While they found the translation quality was strong, minor timing issues and lack of lip-syncing meant the output felt slightly unnatural.Esther then provided an update on M&A activity, where UK-based XTM International acquired US-based Transifex and DEMAN Übersetzungen expanded its presence in Germany by acquiring life sciences translation specialist German Language Services.Meanwhile, Sorensen Communications acquired Hand Talk, which uses AI-powered avatars for automated sign language translation, and OmniBridge, which employs computer vision to convert sign language into speech or text.Florian shared how experts received DeepSeek's AI translation capabilities, noting its strong Chinese-English performance and cost efficiency but highlighting skepticism over data security, domain-specific accuracy, and potential political bias.The duo noted that ZOO Digital has joined Amazon Prime Video's Preferred Fulfillment Vendor Program, a positive development amid its recent market fluctuations and historically low share prices. Florian gave his thoughts on Meta's Ray-Ban glasses with live translation, noting their inconsistent performance with fast or quiet speech and questioning their usefulness for media consumption compared to traditional subtitles.
We have a special Raise the Line episode today that takes a look at some behind-the-scenes work happening at Osmosis from Elsevier to expand the reach and impact of our educational content, which is now being used by learners in nearly 200 countries. Over the past year, dozens of volunteers have been hard at work translating over 100 Osmosis videos into Arabic while simultaneously researching whether these translations increase student engagement and comprehension, and improve educational equity. Our host, Dr. Amin Azzam -- who has played an oversight role in this project -- is joined by two other key members of the team: Mohammad Kabakibi, the founder of Chain of Education, an online learning platform he developed while in school at Lebanese American University; and Dania Reina, who is an e-learning creator and a pharmacist from Brazil. “In the beginning, we had one or two volunteers, but now we have more than fifty. This is huge and this only happens because we are building this for us and to leave for other healthcare professionals who will hopefully keep it going,” says Reina. Research has shown significant learning improvement among video watchers and as a bonus, the people doing the subtitles report enhanced knowledge of the subjects they work on. These positive outcomes have spurred Kabakibi to look for other opportunities to make an impact, including helping Arabic speakers learn how to do research in English. “I believe one of the legacies that this project will carry through me will be my continuous mission in reducing barriers when it comes to healthcare and education,” he shares. Check out this inspiring episode to learn about other offshoots of the project, how this work supports lifelong learning, and why AI is not up to the task.Mentioned in this episode:Chain of EducationOsmosis Video with Arabic Translation

Mitchell Feldman is the CMO of the brand new start up XRAI Glass who are focused on 'Subtitling the World' and have been shortlisted for several high profile awards. Mitchell is a serial entrepreneur and remembers fondly his late mother typing on her old computer keyboard using the modem coupler which inspired Mitchell to explore the power of computing and tech from an early age. Mitchell left school at 16 years old and 'fell into technology' starting his own business in 1999 and exiting in 2010 only to start another company in 2012. In 2014 he won the first ever Microsoft Cloud Partner of the Year, then he merged companies which led to him winning 'Tech Entrepreneur of the Year' in 2018 which finally led to him selling his company to Hewlett Packard. Mitchell describes how he suffered a period of depression after the sale of his business and questioned what he really wanted out of life. The sudden success left him with a feeling of emptiness.It's at this point that Mitchell met up with what he describes as his 'frenemy' Dan Scarfe who had also recently exited a business and now they were both faced with the question of 'what next?' Mitchell knew that the academic and technical rigour of the work was always a struggle for him but he also knew how to use his ADHD as a superpower which was gave him success in sales and marketing to leverage the best of his capabilities. Mitchell hires people who are better than himself in the knowledge that he can focus on his strengths and leave the other areas to those better equipped. XRAI Glass effectively subtitles life to help those with hearing impairment. It is a combination of sophisticated Artificial Intelligence with Augmented Reality capabilities. XRAI Glass was born out of a very personal experience for Dan Scarfe when he realised that his 96 year old grandfather could not hear the conversation properly around the family dinner table and therefore felt isolated. This was the catalyst for the idea that became XRAI Glass. The possibilities for XRAI Glass to become a Force for Good were endless. They knew they had something special when they observed people crying when they tried the product and experienced its life changing effects. The XRAI team soon discovered that the technology they were building would assist people with a range of disorders including APD (Auditory Processing Disorder), Dyslexia, ADHD, ADD and more. The current version of the glasses uses extended reality, meaning that it provides digital overlays on the analogue world and it also now harnesses the power of Chat GPT. The journey is just beginning. Please watch this episode on our YouTube channel where Mitchell will actually demonstrate the amazing features of the glasses for a World Better Led. They have also made the decision to donate the software free for life to those most in need. It's no longer B2B or B2C, it's H2H - Human to Human!

Over in Switzerland, SaaS translation platform, Neur.on, which offers custom MT for law firms, legal publishers, and public authorities has announced an investment round of USD 1.6m.Esther gives an update on the Slator Language Industry Job Index, which dipped 4.5 points in September after the all-time high recorded in August. Meanwhile, video games service provider, Universally Speaking, appointed former Keywords Studios CMO, Andrew Brown, as CEO in July 2022, taking over from founder Vickie Peggs after 18 years.
In this week's news episode, Florian and Anna catch up on a month's worth of news, with RSI receiving a lot of opposition. First, there was a UN Today article where interpreters pushed back on poor sound quality and unreliable audio levels causing hearing problems. Then interpreters went on strike at the EU Parliament after negotiations seeking improved work conditions failed. Anna talks about Meta AI's “breakthrough” claim in machine translation with the release of the I/O model called No Language Left Behind (NLLB). NLLB is an open-source machine translation model with 54 billion parameters and focuses on 200 low-resource languages, specifically from Africa and Asia.In media localization, ZOO Digital released full-year results for 2022 which saw revenue grow by 78% from the previous year, and growth into the current year driven by the ongoing territory launches of major streaming platforms.Keywords Studios' interest in the space has become more apparent as CFO, John Hauck, shares the game localization provider's plans to expand into adjacent markets and move more heavily into film and TV.The duo also discuss the launch of Zoom's translation feature. Business users can now have their Zoom meetings translated in real-time into and out of English from any of 10 languages. Anna then covers Disney's experimentation with synthesized voices. The company partnered with voice-cloning startup Respeecher to feature a synthetic voice in The Mandalorian miniseries.

Björn Lifvergren, Executive Chairman of LinQ Media Group, joins SlatorPod to talk about dubbing, subtitling, and the media localization industry.Björn starts with his route into the media & entertainment and language space; where, after two decades of leading (and eventually selling) BTI Studios, he founded LinQ Media. He gives his take on delivering localized content at scale and reacts to Netflix revealing its subtitling and dubbing stats for the first time.Björn talks us through LinQ Media's geographic market focus and experience in retaining dubbing and subtitling talent in the Nordics. He delves into dubbing services and the dynamics between owning a physical studio, using the cloud, and running a hybrid model.Björn reflects on his experience working with private equity and gives insights on how language service providers can work with investors. He shares his outlook on the media localization market and how linear TV and cinema will evolve in the next decade.Finally, he outlines how the strong demand for Nordic-language subtitling has allowed them to avoid post-editing machine-translation workflows for now and offer subtitlers a more traditional approach to their craft.First up, Florian and Esther discuss the language industry news of the week, with an update on the lawsuit between Super Agencies Lionbridge and TransPerfect.Esther talks about Netflix's surprising revelation from the COO, who disclosed that the streaming service subtitled seven million and dubbed five million run-time minutes in 2021.

Millions of us have spent this pandemic bingeing on international films and television, transported far away through the magic of the screen. But there's an underappreciated army of workers who make it all possible: the subtitlers. This week we chat to Russian subtitler Max Deryagin about how Netflix has shaken up the industry and why things sometimes get lost in translation. We're also talking about the new Germany, the failures of Britain's asylum policy, and the woman on Romania's new 20 lei banknote. This week's Isolation Inspiration: Steve Rosenberg's interview with Alexander Lukashenko, this episode of the BBC's Media Show podcast, and Lords of Scam.

Today I wanted to talk about my experiences teaching Introduction to Subtitling as part of the Professional Certificate in Translation offered by the University of California San Diego Extension. After teaching this class for the past 18 months, I can now comfortably paint a good picture of what it's been like assisting students who already are experienced translators and interpreters as they pivot into subtitling and adapt their current language skills.

Desde Vigo y con pantuflas, nos acompaña Pablo Romero Fresco, traductor, director de cine, profe, investigador, ¡una máquina! Pablo es investigador Ramón y Cajal en Universidade de Vigo y Honorary Professor of Translation and Filmmaking en University of Roehampton, donde fue profesor titular durante 10 años. Antes de eso, fue profesor titular en Heriot-Watt University durante 5 años. Es autor de las monografías Accessible Filmmaking (Routledge) y Subtitling through Speech Recognition: Respeaking (Routledge) y editor de The Reception of Subtitles for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing in Europe (Peter Lang). Es miembro del comité editorial de Journal of Audiovisual Translation y director del grupo de investigación GALMA (Galician Observatory for Media Access), con el que lidera en la actualidad varios proyectos de investigación sobre accesibilidad a los medios (como ILSA, financiado por la Comisión Europea) además de proyectos de transferencia con los gobiernos de Reino Unido, Australia y Canadá y con empresas y cadenas de televisión como Netflix, AMedia, Sky o Subti. Pablo es también director de cine. Su primer documental, Joining the Dots (2012), fue estrenado en el 69.° Festival de Cine de Venecia y ha sido usado por Netflix y por escuelas de cine de varios países europeos para aumentar la visibilidad de la audiodescripción. Nos cuenta Pablo que, en realidad, el cine llegó a su vida a muy temprana edad, cuando veía pelis de terror con su mamá, y aunque terminaba muerto de miedo, el séptimo arte igual lo cautivó. Estudió traducción en Vigo y cuando terminó, se fue a vivir a Reino Unido, donde hizo un doctorado en traducción audiovisual, así que ese fue el primer paso para ir uniendo el mundo del cine y el de la traducción. En total estuvo como 15 años viviendo por esas tierras y en ese tiempo también hizo un máster en cine, donde se le hizo más evidente que cineastas y traductores deberían trabajar en equipo siempre. Para ilustrar esta necesidad, nos contó una anécdota divertidísima sobre un compañero del máster, aspirante a director, que puso subtítulos en su corto que iban de una punta a la otra de la pantalla. Así es como el público se perdió la belleza de sus imágenes sumamente cuidadas por andar tratando de leer esos choclos interminables. Claro que además de reírnos imaginando esas cabecitas sin descanso, todos pensamos lo mismo que Pablo, ¿por qué no se lo pidieron a alguien que supiera? Así que, a partir de esa experiencia, comenzaron las colaboraciones entre estudiantes de cine y estudiantes de traducción, colaboraciones que siguen vigente hoy en día con esos directores y traductores ya profesionales. Sería ideal involucrar a todas las partes desde el principio de un proyecto cinematográfico, afirma Pablo, y aunque puede parecer un sueño difícil de cumplir, considera que es posible en algunos lugares. Por un lado, hay países en donde la accesibilidad y la traducción audiovisual tienen una estructura bien montada, pero hay menos margen de cambio porque están más acostumbrados a hacer las cosas de determinada manera. Ahora, también están los países en donde todo está más en ciernes y las posibilidades parecen más prometedoras. Como ejemplo nos cuenta el caso de Uruguay, que tiene una industria cinematográfica más chica, pero el estado ofrece ciertas ayudas para los realizadores que los empuja pensar en la accesibilidad desde el principio. ¿Qué tal? Superinteresante. Pablo dice que los directores de cine muchas veces se sorprenden de todo lo que aprenden cuando entran en contacto con las distintas formas de accesibilidad, porque escuchan o ven su peli desde otra perspectiva, porque nunca les habían contado las imágenes de una película como se hace en audiodescripción, porque nunca antes les habían descrito los sonidos de una peli, por ejemplo. Todo esto lo ilustra con una anécdota hermosa sobre la música de su película.
Many people may think that they just have to press the button on their remote control and then subtitles appear on their screen miraculously. Or they think that it's completely normal that cowboys in films are perfectly speaking their language. They are not aware of the enormous work behind. So let's have a look at the backstage with AVT-specialist Emilia Perez. Those who want to know more about this interesting topic can still register for a summer school on the topic this Friday 4 June. You can also read the relevant article in an openly accessible manual, written by Emilia Perez.

In SlatorPod #59, Limecraft CEO and Founder Maarten Verwaest joins us to talk about digital workflow management in the media sector and AI-enabled subtitling. Maarten shares his entrepreneurial journey, tells us why he doesn't plan to bring on financial investors, and explains why AI should not be left unattended. First up, Florian and Esther discuss the week's language industry news as they revisit the majority sale of UK-based translation management system (TMS) provider XTM. The two discuss an MT-related court case in Poland. Having taken their client to court over non-payment for a book translation, a Polish LSP soon found their practices under scrutiny by the court and expert witnesses. Esther talks about a major deal win for LSP Semantix and friends worth around USD 40m over four years. Semantix, Summa Linguae, and ESTeam partnered up to bid for an EU translation contract for the Commission's Directorate-General, and succeeded in ousting incumbent provider AMPLEXOR.Sticking with Europe's public sector, the two talk about the European Parliament's new remote interpretation platform. The roll-out of the selected platform, Interactio, involved a huge deployment effort and saw them tackle myriad challenges such as scale, funding, and firewalls. As remote interpreting went fully mainstream in 2020, UK-based LSP thebigword secured another three years of interpreting work from the Ministry of Justice (MoJ).

Subtitling is something that I always wanted to do since I got started as a translator. But, even though I've been translating since 1997, I only started subtitling around 2010 or so. That's because it takes a different set of skills to actually become a subtitler. Translating is one thing, subtitling is something else entirely different. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* CHECK OUT THIS EPISODE'S SPONSOR: VIDEO CONVERTER, video made simple *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Here are links to the subtitling webinars and classed I talked about: 6-week online class through UC San Diego Extension Subtitling Online Sessions *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* 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

COMM122 Introduction to Media Industries & Institutions (UMass-Amherst)
Hello, welcome back to the COMM122 podcast! Its Episode Eight, MY name is nina, ill be your host for today, just kidding, its still maxIn this episode, we will discuss challenges to media globalization, and how media institutions adapt to the challenges.The first challenge is the uneven development in media technology and telecommunication infrastructure. We refer to this problem as the digital divide. In 2016, the United Nations declared the promotion, protection, and enjoyment of the internet to be human rights. However, while the internet penetration rate was 79.6% in Europe, and 87% in the US, it was barely 22% in Africa. In many parts of the world, a stable supply of electricity remains an issue, not to mention high-speed internet. Of course, things are changing with the quick adoption of mobile phones in South Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Latin America. Uneven development requires media institutions to come up with different audience-targeting strategies. For instance, while institutions in North America are invested in using social media to raise awareness campaigns on public health issues, in the rural areas of developing countries TV series prove to be very effective in changing social norms and behaviors . For more info, please read the BBC coverage of Detective Vijay, a TV series in India featuring an HIV-positive detective.The second challenge is a legal and political one. Netflix, for example, is available in over 150 countries, but not in Crimea, a former part of Ukraine and now annexed by Russia. This is due to the US sanctions on Russia. Oh, yes, let’s talk about Netflix in China. In 2017, Netflix announced that it had reached a licensing deal with a local video-streaming company in China. Based on the Chinese laws and regulations, foreign companies providing information services must partner with local companies, and local companies should be the majority shareholder in the joint venture. Needless to say, had the deal gone through, Netflix’s content in China would also be highly selective and censored by the state. The deal never went through. The Chinese new Cybersecurity Law that went into effect in 2017 has made American tech companies’ presence in China increasingly difficult, if not impossible.While the legal and political barrier is largely associated with economic protectionism, sometimes, the barrier also has something to do with strong local competitions. In the Chinese case, there were already three local major video-streaming giants at the time of Netflix's entry. The local companies are doing very well in the Chinese domestic market and have been expanding overseas. Even if Netflix were present in China, it would face an uphill battle with local competitors.Piracy is another legal challenge. Because of the relative ease of copying and transmitting digital content, some argue that media institutions have lost revenues to piracy. But, does it? It is a debatable point. For that point, refer to the video shown in class titled Can piracy be “good” for business?Lastly, the linguistic and cultural barriers. Selling Russian films to American audience? Well, something is bound to be lost in translation. What is key here is not just a common language, but cultural proximity. Some cultural linguistic markets may have an advantage and benefit from closely linked geographies. Other cultural and linguistic markets may be based on diasporic communities, due to colonization and immigration. Be noted that places that seem to be culturally similar may have very different types of audience. For example, Crazy Rich Asians won big in America, but lost big in the Chinese market. Local audiences in China just don’t resonate with the film at all. Want to know more, watch the clip from CBS played in class.How do media institutions overcome these barriers. For the linguistic barriers, the most straightforward strategy is Dubbing and Subtitling. But it is an exp
This episode is about accountability, efficiency, subtitling and localization. Please focus on these things as well as review the things that I spoke about on the last podcast. Thank you for listening and thank you for being excellent colleagues.

From romantic French films to cartoon series join us as we take a Deep Dive into the World of Dubbing with Jacques Barreau of TransPerfect, Charles Fathy of Encore Voices, and Mar Enriquez of the Macias Group. We're discussing the history.
The Belt and Road Initiative will bring many opportunities for film and video dubbing, subtitling and related services, says YC Sun of BTI Asia. The global company set up its studio hub in Hong Kong to provide large, international clients with a host of Asian language skills for film and video, with a focus on new markets. The Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area will also offer the chance to break through language barriers.
Voice-over (also known as off-camera or off-stage commentary) is a production technique where a voice—that is not part of the narrative—is used in a radio, television production, filmmaking, theatre, or other presentations. The voice-over may be spoken by someone who appears elsewhere in the production or by a specialist voice actor. It is pre-recorded and placed over the top of a film or video and commonly used in documentaries or news reports to explain information. Voice-over would not normally need […]
Turkish subtitling community was caught off-guard when Netflix launched its video-on-demand services. Local video market was already vibrant and soaring, yet Netflix and to a certain extent HBO were the last two bags of straw on the camel’s back. Now, Turkish is spoken by 100 million people. 80 million people live in Turkey and broadband internet penetration rate is close to 95%. Turkish TV shows are crazy popular all the way from Serbia and Greece to Qatar and the Emirates. […]
Some researchers suggest that in the next few years video will become the leading format for content marketing. Is your corporate communication strategy ready to adapt? Subtitling is huge business but not every subtitler is corporate grade. There are thousands of fans doing free work or others working for large film studios or OTT providers to localize TV shows. Here are a few suggestions for marcom professionals based on our experience in corporate communication: 1. Work with a transcreation team […]
Video subtitling is the art of adding subtitles (captions) to a live or recorded video. It has rules and guidelines to optimize audience experience. Subtitled videos reach higher viewing rates. Producers hire localisation companies to add subtitlies and translations to their shows. Subtitles are textual versions of the dialog or commentary in films, television programs, video games, and the like, usually displayed at the bottom (or on the top) of the screen. Subtitles have time codes, color, size, font and […]

Byrd and Matt welcome back very special guest, Norman England! Many people people know Norman's work as a journalist, photographer, critic, and director, but he also lends his hand to translations quite often. The most crucial thing about watching and understanding any foreign language film is a good translation and Norman has quite a few subtitling credits under his belt (he also teaches classes on the subject). We were able to spend time with Norman to discuss the ins and outs of film translating and the subtitling business. What makes for good subtitles? What kind of liberties are taken in translating dialogue? What gets lost in the translation process? Norman answers these questions and shares his experiences to give us tons of insight into one of the most crucial, yet overlooked aspects of the foreign film business.

Tech's Message: News & Analysis With Nate Lanxon (Bloomberg, Wired, CNET)
*Note this version corrects corrupted file issue of previous version. Sorry about that - Nate* THIS WEEK ON TECH'S MESSAGE Nate and Ian discuss the so-called "PokeRave" that took place for the first time in central London, where obsessive Pokemon Go fans gathered to compete for prizes and glory; and as the BBC switches on subtitling for its live broadcasts online, we look at how these speedy closed captions are produced; plus Amazon is bringing its strange grocery-ordered Dash gadget to Britain while simultaneously getting a partnership with the Government granted to test its delivery drones across the United Kingdom. All that, plus a review of the rebooted BBC Robot Wars. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Subtitling has often been seen as a niche pursuit in the field of translation. But in our increasingly digitised world of video, sound and games, AV or multimedia translation is offering new professional opportunities for translators. Dr Miguel Bernal-Merino, lecturer in Audiovisual Translation at the University of Roehampton and an expert in games localisation, and Dr Jorge Díaz-Cintas, Director of the Centre for Translation Studies at UCL, offered an introduction to this growing area, examining some of the theory and particular challenges of translation for the screen. This event was chaired by Samantha Schnee, Founding Editor and Chair of Words Without Borders.
IndieGoGo campaign to fund cheap animator housing; Subtitling glasses; No winners in 6th Kyoto Animation Awards; Sanrio opens U.S. branch for original animated works. Plus upcoming cons, upcoming Kickstarters, and all the anime released in North America this week.
