The state of the linguist supply chain: a CSA report on translators and interpreters in 2020


In the second half of 2019, ProZ.com, Translators without Borders, and other organizations collaborated with Common Sense Advisory (CSA) on a survey directed at professional translators and interpreters. The information gathered in this survey, which was completed by over 7,000 professionals (most of them freelancers), was then used by CSA to build a report which covers a variety of areas, including demographics, behaviors, interaction with clients, income, technology, and trends and challenges being faced by today's freelance language professional. The ProZ.com team is happy to be able to help distribute this report to those who may be interested.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Paths to an Accessible World : APTRAD's 1st International Audiovisual Translation Conference


April 03 and 04, Porto, Portugal


Audiovisual translation is much more than subtitling. It also encompasses dubbing and accessibility modalities, in particular subtitling for the deaf and hard of hearing, and audio description.


The aim of this International Conference is to discuss all the paths of audiovisual translation that shape this reality. Join us in Porto, Portugal, to break new ground in audiovisual translation, in what will be an historic event for AVT and its professionals!
