Translators working in the film and television industries are engaged at various stages of development, from pre-production to post-production, including subtitling, dubbing, and voiceovers. Using both text and video samples from recent translation projects for such media companies as CBS, CNN, Discovery, PBS and Netflix, the speaker will discuss the different roles played by the translator at these different stages, ways to meet the different needs of producers, directors, narrators, and editors, and how to successfully deliver quality translations on film and television projects in a timely fashion.
