SUMMARY:Beyond a Reasonable Doubt: Legal Language in Subtitling
DESCRIPTION:Attend this webinar to gain insights into mastering the nuances of legal language within the art of subtitling.\nOne of the many challenges subtitlers have to overcome is how to convey meaning in just a few lines and in a limited time. And if we add legal language to the equation\, sometimes we may feel at a loss for words. \nThis webinar explores the linguistic resources and techniques to translate legal terminology in subtitling projects\, taking into account accuracy\, register\, and time and space constraints\, as well as providing research tools to optimize our time and be more productive. We’ll delve into the notion of equivalence in legal translation and the abundance of false friends that may spoil the viewer’s experience. The examples provided will be taken from English into Spanish audiovisual material. \nYou will learn how to:\n\nEnhance accuracy in legal translations.\nDevelop condensing and adaptation skills.\nIdentify reliable sources for researching legal terminology.\n\nAbout the Presenter\nDaniela Costa is an English<>Spanish certified translator and attorney at law who graduated from the University of Buenos Aires\, Argentina. She has a master’s degree in audiovisual translation from the University of Cadiz (Spain). She is a member of ATA and the Buenos Aires Sworn Translators Association. She has been working as a freelance subtitle translator for leading localization companies for over 20 years\, and her works can be seen in theaters and major streaming platforms.
