00:00:00.221 --> 00:00:01.884
Hi, my name is Darren Bridenbeck

00:00:02.057 --> 00:00:04.491
and I'm the Community
Development Manager at Amara

00:00:04.723 --> 00:00:08.652
and I am in beautiful, sunny
Portland, Oregon.

00:00:09.136 --> 00:00:11.714
And I'm Judit Piñol, 
from Catalonia in Spain.

00:00:12.104 --> 00:00:14.198
And we're hoping 
you're going to be joining us


00:00:14.198 --> 00:00:16.057
between the 26th and 30th of September 


00:00:16.057 --> 00:00:18.517
to celebrate International Translation Day

00:00:18.747 --> 00:00:20.881
At Amara, we think subtitles are important


00:00:20.881 --> 00:00:23.201
because we believe
information should live free,

00:00:23.201 --> 00:00:25.159
and that by improving access to videos 
we are building a more rich

00:00:25.159 --> 00:00:27.799
informed and equitable world.

00:00:27.799 --> 00:00:31.105
Whether is helping students get access 
to lectures in their languages

00:00:31.105 --> 00:00:33.061
or a deaf and hard of hearing user

00:00:33.061 --> 00:00:35.821
the ability to experience
a video for the first time

00:00:35.821 --> 00:00:38.554
or even just sharing a silly video
with a friend of yours

00:00:38.584 --> 00:00:42.186
we know that video accessibility 
is a huge cultural issue

00:00:42.286 --> 00:00:44.157
that we need to face together.

00:00:44.190 --> 00:00:47.349
We're hoping to meet that challenge 
by taking a step forward

00:00:47.349 --> 00:00:48.869
together with all of you.

00:00:48.869 --> 00:00:51.674
With that, there's three 
different ways you can celebrate

00:00:51.674 --> 00:00:54.014
International Translation Day 2016:

00:00:54.014 --> 00:00:56.922
First, share your story about 
how subtitles have impacted

00:00:56.922 --> 00:00:58.902
your life and those around you.

00:00:58.902 --> 00:01:01.974
Share your story with the hashtag #ITD2016

00:01:02.197 --> 00:01:07.991
or email it to us at judit@amara.org 
for a chance to be featured on the Amara blog

00:01:07.991 --> 00:01:10.761
and our Social Media outlets 
throughout the week.

00:01:10.761 --> 00:01:12.625
Video submissions are also welcome!

00:01:12.625 --> 00:01:14.967
Next, you can actually help 
subtitle a video

00:01:14.967 --> 00:01:18.109
We've been collecting stories 
from users from all over the globe,

00:01:18.109 --> 00:01:20.909
sharing their experiences with 
how subtitles have impacted

00:01:20.909 --> 00:01:23.922
them and their daily lives,
and they need your translation help.

00:01:23.948 --> 00:01:27.001
Check out the link in the 
video description to learn more.

00:01:27.241 --> 00:01:28.822
Finally, you can join us 
on September 30th,
International Translation Day itself,

00:01:28.822 --> 00:01:33.922
International Translation Day itself,
for the Amara Community Summit.

00:01:34.226 --> 00:01:36.869
This is where we'll be discussing 
some best practices

00:01:36.869 --> 00:01:38.769
on building vibrant subtitling communities

00:01:38.769 --> 00:01:41.334
and the benefits that subtitles bring per culture as a whole

00:01:41.763 --> 00:01:44.347
If you want to learn more about international Translation Day 2016,

00:01:47.147 --> 00:01:48.985
and we'd love to see you participate!

Thank you, and we're looking forward 
to celebrate ITD with you!

00:01:53.113 --> 00:01:56.635
That's it, thanks for contributing 
and Happy Internatonal Translation Day!
