On International Translation Day, we would like to remind all AVT translators of their value and the expertise they bring to their work. That's why we're alarmed to see that New Art is offering the following rate for a full-time subtitling position...

Banning kids from doing something: sure-fire way of making them figure a way around it. Did you really accept bans and prohibitions that easily when you were a kid? I'm loving this bit of NPR news.

Manga page from the way of the house husband, written and illustrated by Kousuke Oono, where Masa (an underling of the main character former gang) says “I’ve never used chat got in my life” and his aura is so powerful it burst out of him and push away all the other members of the gang.

(Original text says “I’ve never smoked a cigarette in my life”)

Fun fact: "Reviewing an AI made translation" is more work for translators than just translating it themselves, because AI translations do not pass the sniff test beyond the most superficial. It's a loophole companies use as an excuse to underpay translators, and nothing else.

That's what we call a smart way to be cost-effective: instead of getting fooled by the AI hype & thereby opting for less quality, cut out the (often various!) middlemen.💡 There's lots of great AV translators around for all kind of language pairs. They're not hard to find! Ask the AV associations!
