Si necesitáis un descanso entre comilonas o esconderos del cuñao de turno, los #EstrenosATRAE de hoy vienen al rescate gracias a @quicorb.bsky.social @javipalarcon.bsky.social @estefaniagcasset.bsky.social @littlevoces.bsky.social @soletchemendy.bsky.social @raquelnasverzas.bsky.social… ¡Buen finde!

A veces hay que decir basta. Desde ATRAE, nos plantamos ante la precarización de nuestro sector, agravada con el auge de la IA generativa. Echa un vistazo a los vídeos de la campaña, firma nuestro manifiesto por una traducción humana y, sobre todo, ¡haz que corra la voz! www.traduccionhumana.com ✊📣

1/2 Aclaro que los subtítulos de La bestia en mí son de la gran @aulet.es. Entre eso, el reparto impresionante, una banda sonora maravillosa y una escena de baile que podría llegar a ser emblemática, creo que es digna de verse. Run, don't walk.

Sobering news for a lot of top Democrats, tonight, as they realize people would prefer they actually fucking do something.

Read the editorial piece. It's a good summary of how we got to the point where AV translators are giving up on the profession (today I started the day with the soul-crushing news of yet another dear colleague doing it), while audiences are being conned out of their money for crappy localization.

Happy #InternationalTranslationDay! 🪶 To every translator fighting for credits, legitimacy or against AI right now: remember 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘀𝘁. Caring for the words of others while making sure everyone can enjoy & understand them fully is art, and it's beautiful. Your craft is beautiful 🤍

Merry Cannella, Max Deryagin, and Rachel Jones talked to The Guardian about what AI is doing to our profession and to audiences. We all deserve better. #AVT #SDH #accessibility

Mi ritual de equinoccios desde hace 25 años: releer el capítulo "Beatriz (Las estaciones)" de Primavera con una esquina rota. No falla nunca, me río y se me hace un nudo en la garganta. Gracias, Don Mario.

I'm a broken record, I know, but sharing a project with a QCer who has my back and with whom I can chat about everything translation and plot-related while working on each episode is DA BEST. #NameYourSubtitler #NameYourQCer #QuiénSubtitula #QuiénRevisa

Graham Greene was one of those actors whose presence was absolutely, 100% guaranteed to make whatever movie or TV show he was in better. He added instant gravitas and authority, reliable stealthy humor and depth beyond whatever was on the page. Should've been Emmy nominated for "Reservation Dogs."

I'm preparing to publish the next installment of AI Killed My Job. This time, the focus will be on translators. If you or someone you know has had a translation job (including translator, interpreter, game localizer, etc) impacted by AI, and you'd like to share, please do: [email protected]

Just now in front of my neighbor's house. Video by Maite Blankenship.

Y sí, aquí estoy, añadiendo poco a poco todas las revisiones de accesibilidad que he hecho a lo largo de los años. Y cómo me ha costado elegir avatar -¡grande, Manuela López!-. Gracias por el apoyo y por el currazo, @atrae.bsky.social y @bdpatrae.bsky.social basededatos.atrae.org/perfil-pub/2...

Zoo Digital Group PLC is still not paying their freelancers.

Delighted to be in such good company for this week's release! #NameYourQCer

looked up the clip just because sometimes people change his words for captions that end up innocently reshared, but upon finding it decided to share the video because hearing him say it makes it 1000% more definitely true and everyone will listen/believe more than reading it written out

Again: Viewers, critics, cinephiles, BE LOUD!! Demand quality! Yours is probably the only voice that matters to those corporations (besides their shareholders'...) #HumanNotMachines

A new release with subtitles by yours truly and invaluable QC contributions by @estefaniagcasset.bsky.social. Dream team!

Atención, traductoras literarias, este premio es para ustedes/vosotras.

Translation isn't expensive. In fact, it's frequently the biggest return on investment: For the top 100 grossing movies of all time, 50% of their profits were made outside of English, and they spent less than 1% of their budget on localization.

De la manera que sea, guardaos este hilo de @marinaborras.es como oro en paño y enviádselo a todo el mundo. Ninguna plataforma te regala sus servicios, como clientes podemos exigir calidad. #SiPagasExigeCalidad

I've spoken with executives in the loc industry who have admitted straight to me that they're intentionally publishing sub-par translations because audiences "are okay with them". Read: will still pay for a service even if the translation is bad. We need to prove to them that we won't.

Leed todo este hilo. Please and thank you.

Para discursitos que no cuelan, los que tenemos que oír a diario en nuestro gremio. Nos subimos al carro de "Propaganda We're Not Falling For" inspirades por la publicación de les compis de @subtleuk.bsky.social ¿Se os ocurren más?

I keep hearing how Étoile reminds people of Bunheads, with its ASP DNA and all that. And yes, sure, but what I keep thinking of is Slings & Arrows, and not just because of the Luke Kirby connection; there are setup and plot elements that echo S&A.

Este curso de @atrae.bsky.social es un pantallazo de todo el proceso de subtitulado. Si se le puede decir "pantallazo" a 18 horas de clase impartidas por un experto… que además revisa tus ejercicios y responde a tus preguntas con toda la afabilidad del mundo como @pfmoriano.bsky.social

Read the latest column by Nota Mouzaki—a love letter to resilient subtitlers (are there any other kind?). Link in our bio!

We are aware that many translators are facing issues receiving payment from Zoo Digital. Here's what we have to say.

When they include a subtitling category but the professionals doing the actual work remain unacknowledged...

¡Todavía quedan algunas plazas para descubrir todos los entresijos de la traducción de cómic y novela gráfica! Últimas horas para apuntarse. ⏰

Cry me a river. Really, the company which wouldn't exist without theft is now complaining that another company is inappropriately using their work? That's rich. www.bbc.com/news/article...

At least 15 Indigenous people in Arizona and New Mexico have reported being stopped at their homes and workplaces, questioned or detained by federal law enforcement and asked to produce proof of citizenship during immigration raids since Wednesday, according to Navajo Nation officials.

Sin querer queriendo he hecho double feature: How It Ends y My Old Ass. Nada mal.

Marielle Heller's Nightbitch is finally out on Disney+ today! It was one of my favorite subtitle QC projects last year. Talk about a film that resonated with me… I'm sure many moms will see themselves in one scene or another. If you watch it, come and howl, I mean, talk to me. #AVT #SubtitleQC

Riveted by Say Nothing.

Esto tiene una pintaza... Luego un revisionado de 12 Angry Men, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Good Wife, A Few Good Men, etc. y las 300 temporadas de Law & Order (original recipe and other flavors). Programa hecho, you're welcome.

My fave January film-related tradition is almost here! And this year's fundraiser is already live.

Como socia de @damautor.bsky.social, ni me han informado ni estoy de acuerdo con esto. Llevamos años luchando por defender nuestros derechos como para que nos parezca bien lo que propone este Real Decreto.

And I can't build myself a throne of skulls if I'm not allowed to commit murder and/or grave robbing. We all live with disappointment, you aren't special

Put this technology where it might actually do some good, and think hard if even there it is worth the environmental cost. I'll tell ya for nothing: not in the news, where serious reporting is harder to find than ever, and far from any creative job. Please and thank you.

El gobierno de España pionero en mandar a los autores al matadero y poner el último clavo en nuestro féretro. Ahora buscan legitimar una tecnología parasitaria como la IA generativa con el nuevo kiosquito: LICENCIAS, para terminar de expoliarnos a cambio de migajas ⚠️ ES MOMENTO DE ALZAR LA VOZ!

Out today, one of the highlights of my professional year. From creator Joe Barton and with the always fabulous Keira Knightley, Ben Whishaw, and Sarah Lancashire. Spanish subtitles translated by @andreapeal.bsky.social and QCed by yours truly. #AVT #NameYourSubtitler #NameYourQCer

Hoy nos ha dejado una profesora de esas que dejan huella. La conocí con 18 años y hablé con ella por última vez hace menos de tres meses. Qué suerte he tenido de pasar por sus aulas y recibir sus empujones duros y cariñosos para cambiar de carrera. Vuela alto, Rosario.

Con un poco de pena por los que me oyen cantar con Florence + The Machine a grito pelado con los cascos puestos, pero no tanta como para dejar de cantar. Ande yo caliente y ríase la gente...
