 <\/p>\n

Interlingual Real-Time Closed Captions: Where Accessibility Meets Translation<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pablo Romero-Fresco<\/strong><\/p>\n

For the past 30 years, the production of closed captions in real time has enabled millions of people with hearing loss to access live television programs and events through same-language captions. Based on the results of the Interlingual Live Subtitling for Access project, funded by the European Union, this session focused on interlingual real-time captioning, a new development that requires a combination of interpreting and translation subtitling skills. This new method provides access to live foreign-language programs and events for both people with and without hearing loss.<\/p>\n

Translating Hollywood: The Limits of Localization<\/strong><\/p>\n

Elena Chang<\/strong><\/p>\n

English and Korean share little common ground, both linguistically and culturally. Therefore, finely nuanced localization is critical when adapting films for a Korean audience. In this session, cases involving film subtitling\/dubbing were examined.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Accessible Filmmaking: Integrating Translation into Film Production<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pablo Romero-Fresco<\/strong><\/p>\n

Film translations are often produced as an afterthought, with limited time and money. Sometimes there is no contact between the translator and the creative team working on the movie. Remuneration for the translator is also low. Accessible filmmaking proposes to tackle this issue by integrating translation and accessibility into the filmmaking process.<\/p>\n
