MINDFUL TRANSLATIONS Services
Translation
& subtitling
Translators deal with the written word. They translate written text from one language to another.
Translators provide accurate renditions of the source text in the target language. Accurate is defined for this purpose as optimal and complete, without distortion or omission and preserving the content and intent of the source message or text. Translators are able to provide an accurate and complete rendition of the source message using the skills and understanding they have acquired through their training and education. (AUSIT, Code of Ethics, 5.1)
Subtitlers deal with the written word and, in addition, need to respect what can be seen in the video that is accompanied by the subtitles. They translate the script from one language to another and at the same time attempt to express the full meaning as efficiently as possible to allow the audience to read the subtitles and also watch the visuals.
Subtitlers need to respect existing constraints of character per line and reading speed conventions.
