The TED Translators program [br]is about teamwork,

0:00:06.190,0:00:08.370
and reviewers play a crucial role.

0:00:08.930,0:00:13.116
Reviewers collaborate with volunteers [br]to improve the quality of subtitles,

0:00:13.116,0:00:16.464
so TED viewers can connect with [br]speakers’ ideas.

0:00:17.292,0:00:19.942
Here are five tips for reviewers:

0:00:20.587,0:00:22.157
1 . Be qualified!

0:00:22.399,0:00:26.399
You need five sets of published subtitles[br]before you can review.

0:00:26.399,0:00:28.389
This ensures you’re familiar with

0:00:28.389,0:00:31.619
and can advise others on[br]subtitling best practices.

0:00:32.569,0:00:35.099
2. Watch the talk first!

0:00:35.649,0:00:36.957
Before making changes,

0:00:36.957,0:00:41.529
watch the entire talk with subtitles [br]to identify areas where you should focus.

0:00:43.176,0:00:45.184
Look out for common mistakes,

0:00:45.184,0:00:47.424
like overly-literal translations,

0:00:48.100,0:00:49.424
grammatical errors,

0:00:49.634,0:00:51.194
and timing issues.

0:00:52.981,0:00:55.541
3. Give useful feedback!

0:00:56.305,0:00:59.382
Good feedback is constructive [br]and actionable.

0:00:59.572,0:01:03.920
It includes specific examples [br]of what you should change and why.

0:01:03.920,0:01:06.112
Link to resources so volunteers can learn

0:01:06.112,0:01:08.852
to avoid similar mistakes in the future.

0:01:09.157,0:01:12.467
To motivate volunteers, [br]highlight what they did well.

0:01:13.087,0:01:15.278
4. Send it back!

0:01:15.557,0:01:17.607
If you notice too many mistakes,

0:01:17.607,0:01:20.467
send the subtitles back [br]to the original volunteer.

0:01:20.697,0:01:23.516
Reviewers don’t need [br]to correct every error.

0:01:23.516,0:01:27.516
Instead, point out recurring issues [br]and offer an example correction.

0:01:29.321,0:01:31.541
5. Work as a team!

0:01:31.941,0:01:36.561
TED Translators are volunteers united [br]by the mission to spread great ideas.

0:01:37.052,0:01:38.920
Always be respectful,

0:01:38.920,0:01:41.756
and think of reviewing [br]as a conversation with a teammate

0:01:41.756,0:01:45.416
about how to best communicate [br]the speaker’s idea in your language.

0:01:45.806,0:01:48.840
Remember these five tips [br]when you review subtitles

0:01:48.840,0:01:54.406
and work with fellow volunteers [br]to make big ideas globally accessible.
