Hi, my name is Darren Bridenbeck

0:00:02.057,0:00:04.491
and I'm the Community[br]Development Manager at Amara

0:00:04.723,0:00:08.652
and I am in beautiful, sunny[br]Portland, Oregon.

0:00:09.136,0:00:11.714
And I'm Judit Piñol, [br]from Catalonia in Spain.

0:00:12.104,0:00:14.198
And we're hoping [br]you're going to be joining us[br]

0:00:14.198,0:00:16.057
between the 26th and 30th of September [br]

0:00:16.057,0:00:18.517
to celebrate International Translation Day

0:00:18.747,0:00:20.881
At Amara, we think subtitles are important[br]

0:00:20.881,0:00:23.201
because we believe[br]information should live free,

0:00:23.201,0:00:25.159
and that by improving access to videos [br]we are building a more rich

0:00:25.159,0:00:27.799
informed and equitable world.

0:00:27.799,0:00:31.105
Whether is helping students get access [br]to lectures in their languages

0:00:31.105,0:00:33.061
or a deaf and hard of hearing user

0:00:33.061,0:00:35.821
the ability to experience[br]a video for the first time

0:00:35.821,0:00:38.554
or even just sharing a silly video[br]with a friend of yours

0:00:38.584,0:00:42.186
we know that video accessibility [br]is a huge cultural issue

0:00:42.286,0:00:44.157
that we need to face together.

0:00:44.190,0:00:47.349
We're hoping to meet that challenge [br]by taking a step forward

0:00:47.349,0:00:48.869
together with all of you.

0:00:48.869,0:00:51.674
With that, there's three [br]different ways you can celebrate

0:00:51.674,0:00:54.014
International Translation Day 2016:

0:00:54.014,0:00:56.922
First, share your story about [br]how subtitles have impacted

0:00:56.922,0:00:58.902
your life and those around you.

0:00:58.902,0:01:01.974
Share your story with the hashtag #ITD2016

0:01:02.197,0:01:07.991
or email it to us at judit@amara.org [br]for a chance to be featured on the Amara blog

0:01:07.991,0:01:10.761
and our Social Media outlets [br]throughout the week.

0:01:10.761,0:01:12.625
Video submissions are also welcome!

0:01:12.625,0:01:14.967
Next, you can actually help [br]subtitle a video

0:01:14.967,0:01:18.109
We've been collecting stories [br]from users from all over the globe,

0:01:18.109,0:01:20.909
sharing their experiences with [br]how subtitles have impacted

0:01:20.909,0:01:23.922
them and their daily lives,[br]and they need your translation help.

0:01:23.948,0:01:27.001
Check out the link in the [br]video description to learn more.

0:01:27.241,0:01:28.822
Finally, you can join us [br]on September 30th,[br]International Translation Day itself,

0:01:28.822,0:01:33.922
International Translation Day itself,[br]for the Amara Community Summit.

0:01:34.226,0:01:36.869
This is where we'll be discussing [br]some best practices

0:01:36.869,0:01:38.769
on building vibrant subtitling communities

0:01:38.769,0:01:41.334
and the benefits that subtitles bring per culture as a whole
