For the first time since its inception, I'm happy to report that ALL nominees of #TheGameAwards include #TranslatorsInTheCredits! We've come a long way since the dark days of credit withholding, and none of this would've been possible without your support!

Today is the day of the profession that makes me happier every year, ✨ the one that not only allows me to do what I love every day, but also gives me the privilege of making a living from what I'm truly passionate about. ❤️

Translation isn't just my job:
💖 it's my purpose and calling

This is a really interesting illustration of how the limitations of subtitling and dubbing affect localization choices! -- super quick thread! 🧵

As always, the question is: How do translators and adaptors make the decision to localize cultural references?

I keep bouncing between the sub and dub scripts for watakon because they're both weird in their own ways but never in my 200 years watching anime have I seen this one (left sub, right dub, no I didn't get them backwards)
Sub: This is our first New Year's visit to the shrine together. Dub: Miyo, this will be our first hatsumode together.

SUBTLE's statement on Blu Digital Group's non-payments.

For full details on the matter, we recommend reading TRI-TRAB and Loek van Kooten's blog articles:

Text on a grey background above the SUBTLE logo. The text reads: Over the past few days, posts about delayed invoice payments from Blu Digital Group have been rightfully circulating on social media. We highly discourage freelancers from working with Blu Digital Group group and stand with those whose payments have been delayed. We commend freelancers for bravely speaking out. However, they should not have to go to such lengths simply to get paid for their work.

Text on a grey background above the SUBTLE logo. The text reads: Blu Digital Group’s requests that posts be deleted following payment is a pitiful attempt to control their image by censoring freelancers. We will not be silenced and will continue to fight until our rights are respected and our work is valued. We ask that Blu Digital Group's high-profile clients, such as Amazon, Netflix, HBO and Disney, reconsider working with the group and investigate the unethical practices in their value chain.

Por favor, no difundáis cosas como que no hay traductores suficientes para subtitular todos los vídeos que se suben a internet. Lo que no hay es ganas de pagar el trabajo. Somos decenas de miles de personas o más y otras tantas pagando pastizales para formarse profesionalmente para hacerlo.

Netflix - please stop minimising the end credits of movies to suggest something else. Let viewers enjoy the soundtrack and see the cast and crew that worked on the film. We'll exit it ourselves when ready to.

Al traducir literatura, el texto no solo nos pasa por la mente. Nos pasa por el cuerpo, por el alma, por lo que sabemos de nosotros y por lo que ni sospechamos. El texto nos atraviesa y sale transformado, aunque quieran hacer de cuenta que es el mismo y que quien tradujo nunca estuvo ahí.

#SubtitlersInTheCredits are an author's right, but also an audience right: they deserve to know when the content they enjoy is crafted by humans.

The lack of #TranslatorsInTheCredits, particularly in the video game and webcomic industry, is an issue that needs to be voiced until we see change. Our work helps content reach wider audiences and deserves recognition.

Is #PortfolioDay a thing here as well?
Hi! I'm an English into LATAM Spanish video game translator, and these are 4 games that I worked on and came out this year.
Feels good to replace the "Under NDA" cards with the actual games, all thanks to the #TranslatorsInTheCredits movement!

I've said it before and I'll say it again, machine translation should not be used for creative work.

"It drives down the quality of localization as people cut more and more corners to save money. Which means the buyer spend full price on lower quality products."

Why Machine Translating Japanese Media is a BAD Idea
Machine translating Japanese Media is a very, very bad idea and I wouldn't trust companies that push MT on their translators.

How to break into the game industry (without losing your soul) as a translator, a thread.

Since the Lionbridge debacle, we’ve received a bunch of questions from new translators hoping to finally make a decent living with their craft.

I'm really glad to see people pushing back against "AI" (statistic language models) but don't forget it's the same problem with machine translation and "AI" translation! I dread to think how many non-English authors and translators works have been stolen to train these programs.

The WGA has “established regulations for the use of artificial intelligence (“AI”) on MBA-covered projects in the following ways:”

www.wgacontract2023.org/the-campaign...
Artificial Intelligence We have established regulations for the use of artificial intelligence (“AI”) on MBA-covered projects in the following ways: AI can’t write or rewrite literary material, and AI-generated material will not be considered source material under the MBA, meaning that AI-generated material can’t be used to undermine a writer’s credit or separated rights. A writer can choose to use AI when performing writing services, if the company consents and provided that the writer follows applicable company policies, but the company can’t require the writer to use AI software (e.g., ChatGPT) when performing writing services. The Company must disclose to the writer if any materials given to the writer have been generated by AI or incorporate AI-generated material. The WGA reserves the right to assert that exploitation of writers’ material to train AI is prohibited by MBA or other law.
