Some of you linguists may be interested in this online event next week (April 26) See full details below: https://www.channeltalent.co.uk/event/modern-languages-interpretingand-subtitling-with-dr-sharon-black-dr-carlos-de-pablos-ortega-fromuniversity-of-east-anglia/

On 26th April, Dr Sharon Black, Lecturer in Interpreting and Translation, and Dr Carlos De Pablos-Ortega, Associate Professor in Spanish, will consider ways in which participants can use their knowledge of other languages and cultures to translate foreign language films via the creation of subtitles, and to interpret for others.

Through practical examples, Sharon and Carlos will explore the linguistic, intercultural and transferrable skills that subtitlers and interpreters need and some of the main challenges they face, as well as considering the latest technologies that subtitlers and interpreters use.
