Once again pointing out that you can look up bad apples in the translation agency world at Tri-Trab's website - where you also can anonymously report a bad apple if you happen to come across one.

Wenn die Arbeitsbedingungen für Übersetzer*innen angemessen wären, um eine qualitativ hochwertige Untertitelung zu gewährleisten, würde ich die Nachricht auch feiern, aber...

The fact that translators, subtitlers, audiodescribers & dubbing script authors aren't mentioned (as if their work wasn't key!) is infuriating but sadly not surprising, given that some of EGA's members are known bad apples re working conditions & rates.

We'd like to take this opportunity to once more share the open letter signed by several AVT associations, and sent to Lionbridge way back in July 2023.
No response whatsoever until this day.
#respectyourAVTranslator
Dear Lionbridge Community management, we hope this message finds you well. It has come to our attention that you are unilaterally lowering fuzzy grid rates from August 1st onwards for your translators and our members are concerned with the repercussions affecting their livelihood. As we continue to experience a steady cost if living increase throughout Europe what us effectively a reduction in rates will put many of our members in even more precarious situations. Ultimately they will be forced out of the industry causing a significant loss of experience. This will also effect the quality that your teams are able to achieve and harm your business in the long run. For these reasons, we the representative associations of European audiovisual and literary translation would like to sit down with you, explain why this decision is not sustainable and highlight why it poses a threat to the already-struggling ecosystem. The current grid, while not ideal, should at the very least be kept, if not adjusted to benefit translators. We sincerely hope that you take the time to listen to us and revisit your decision. All the best, the European associations for audiovisual and literary translators. AVTE, ATAA, Tramiti, SUBTLE, DHAP, ATRAE, AVÜ, VdÜ, DSFPT, AATI

Unter der Überschrift "Wir sind der AVÜ" das Foto einer Frau mit schulterlangen hellen Haaren, die eine orangene Jacke trägt und in die Kamera lächelt. Daneben die Frage: Was sind deiner Meinung nach die Vorteile einer Verbandsmitgliedschaft? Und die Antwort: Das Übersetzung und Schreiben von Dialogbüchern sind ein wertvoller Beitrag zur Kulturvermittlung in Deutschland und weltweit. Eine angemessene Bezahlung und gute Arbeitsbedingunen sind eine Voraussetzung für gute Qualität und lassen sich nur gemeinsam mit Kolleg*innen und einem starken Berufsverband erreichen. Besonders aktuell ist dies im Bereich künstliche Intelligenz, wo das Engagement des AVÜ und anderer Verbände existenziell wichtig für alle kreativ Tätigen ist.
