SUMMARY:Subtitling: How a Text Translator Can Become a Subtitler
DESCRIPTION:Subtitling is a translation job. You’re a translator. Shouldn’t that be enough? \nActually\, it’s not. When you’re translating a book or document\, you have a single stream of text to deal with. When you are translating a movie\, you have two streams of information coming at you at the same time and are limited by reading speed and the number of characters allowed. And the differences don’t stop there. \nIs this specialty a good fit for your business? Register now to find out! \nWhat will you learn?\n\nThe differences between text translation and subtitling\nSubtitling formatting\nBasic functions of subtitling software\nThe dos and don’ts of managing time and space constraints\nHow to train yourself in subtitling\n\n\n  \nAbout the Presenter\nDeborah Wexler is an ATA-certified English>Spanish translator and editor with more than 20 years of experience\, specializing in audiovisual translation and Spanish orthography. She has translated over 6\,000 program hours for television\, VHS\, DVD\, Blu-ray\, streaming media\, and the big screen. \nDeborah is a frequent speaker at international conferences and an educator who has mentored and trained many translators wanting to get into the audiovisual field. She is the Director of Localization\, Americas\, APAC\, at Pixelogic Media as well as the co-founder and Administrator of ATA’s Audiovisual Division.
