Traveling the Globe to Go More Global

August 14, 2019 By Webmaster

by Graciela Cuello Two major events on audiovisual translation were held last October. Planning a trip that involves academic activities raises the question: is it worth the effort and stamina it takes? One of them was Languages & The Media, in Berlin, and the other was CITA, in Madrid. In my opinion, a professional should […]

New Technologies in AVT and Why Translators Need to Adapt to Survive

August 13, 2019 By Webmaster

by Mara Campbell Not so many years ago, we were able to successfully manage life and work with only landlines, snail mail, and fax machines. But today, our world is dominated by a myriad of accessible and affordable technologies, and we can all agree there are benefits. Technology in everyday life helps us save time, […]

August 13, 2019 By Webmaster

by Alexander C. Totz When I first began translating over a decade ago, audiovisual translation seemed like a natural fit for me. Having trained many years earlier as an actor and worked briefly as a freelance stage director, translating for film and television beckoned like both a shortcut and a straight shot toward the best […]

Deep Focus 1: Letter from the Administrator

August 13, 2019 By Webmaster

by Deborah Wexler During the 59th ATA Conference in New Orleans, a colleague asked me, “What was the motivation that drove a group of translators to create an audiovisual division in the ATA?” I sat for a minute, pondering. “Many different factors motivated each of us,” I said. He then asked, “Well, what do you […]
