#Subtitling is like working with dough. I let my subtitles rest for a day or two before refining them with a thorough review and simulation. #subtitlingmetaphors #translationmetaphors

Every time a attend one of @jossmo.bsky.social Joss Morken's speeches, apart from admiring the depth of insight, I love how he uses photos to accompany references. I think we should all do that in conferences. Emphasizes the real people behind quotations, and also shows how many women there are.

#AIdubbing is not for all kinds of content. Definitely not when the quality is like this. Would this film be dubbed in Brazilian Portuguese if it wasn't for AI? No idea. Does the film attract more viewers now? Maybe. Is Prime Video's reputation taking a hit? No doubt.

Interesante comparación entre DeepSeek y ChatGPT por R. Beninato. Translate "Four simple words... You are not alone" in Spanish. @xosecastro.bsky.social, una pregunta: En el original, la puntuación estaba así? Sin comillas en "You are not alone" ¿Sin dos puntos antes?

Το #λογοπαίγνιο της ημέρας: Yo no tengo las palabras apropiadas como Clarita, ni tan claras. Valga la redundancia. Εγώ δεν τα λέω ωραία σαν την Κλάρα, μόνο για το κλαρί κάνω. Χάλια λογοπαίγνιο. #pun with the name Clara and "clear" words.

Today's #subtitling challenge includes a misquotation of one of Carl Jung's quotes. I wonder if it is intentional and I should follow this new meaning in my subtitles or if it's an error by the creators/producers and we should all correct it. Let's ask and see what happens. #Medusa

Όταν υποτιτλίζω μου αρέσει να συλλέγω λέξεις. Οι σημερινές είναι επονείδιστος, απεχθής, αποτροπιαστικός. Τελικά χρησιμοποίησα το αναίσχυντος. #Gattopardo
