Hi,
I already work as a subtitler but I'd like to learn more about this fine art.
Any book you could suggest about subtitling and everything related to it (correlations, time cueing, reformats etc)?
Thanks

Juan, that's really interesting.
I always consider myself a novice in this field, although I've been working for several years.
Thanks again for any such hints, this is such a cool forum.

Hi Diego,
If you are interested I can give you titles of some interesting books/articles on film translation and the problems related to it. These texts are less 'technical' but very useful in their approaching audio-visual translational problems. You can contact me privately!
Ciao,
Claudia

I find it somewhat questionable. I quote this excerpt fro my e-thesis (aka web site) at http://www.lamensdorf.com.br/video101.html :
Subtitling It's the most economical way. No need to describe it, its key shortcomings are:
- ...
- Audiences that have limited or no fast reading ability (small children, illiterate people, visually impaired people, foreigners) will have limited or no access to the content.
- ...
Children will still be learning the language (vocabulary) visually from the world they see, video included, and will still be learning to read every time faster. This process will only taper off during adolescence.
Sorry to disappoint you, but I see little value in subtitling videos for children, both in practical and educational terms. DUBBING is the answer!
While we are on the subject, to reinforce my argument from an educational pont of view, let's take for granted that Disney maintains the highest standards in video translation worldwide. This is true!
My daughter is now 8 years old. Since the day she was able to turn on her TV, she always left it on the Disney Channel while she played with something else. If anything more interesting came up there, she'd watch. Anyway, those languagewise perfect dubbed scripts involuntarily got through her ears, and soaked her brain with an intuitive, unusually correct, grammar and pronunciation in Portuguese for her (or any other) age. Of course now she watches many other channels too, but the Disney speaking perfection painlessly became second nature to her.
So I think that video subtitling for children may entail deliberately discarding a good chance to effortlessly educate our children to speak well. Please bear in mind that I'm not advocating for dubbing, as I translate video for both dubbing and subtitling at exacty the same $$$ rate. You may find additional material about video translation on my web site, especially in the "articles" section, by navigating from the link above via the menu there.

Hello Iris,
I had the same idea as you in mind and enrolled to a short course in Trágora Traducciones (Spanish Agency). If you can follow the online course in Spanish (I am not sure if they provide this course in English), it is a good value for money to start with.

Is this the same book...?
"This book, a collection of articles written by leading experts in the field of audiovisual translation, introduces the reader to some of the main linguistic and cultural challenges that translators encounter when dealing with films and other audiovisual productions. The volume raises awareness of current issues and debates in the study of dubbing and subtitling and offers new insights on these complex and vibrant areas of the translation discipline."
