Hi, my name is Darren Bridenbeck

2
00:00:02,057 --> 00:00:04,491
and I'm the Community
Development Manager at Amara

3
00:00:04,723 --> 00:00:08,652
and I am in beautiful, sunny
Portland, Oregon.

4
00:00:09,136 --> 00:00:11,684
And I'm Judit Piñol, 
from Catalonia in Spain.

5
00:00:11,994 --> 00:00:14,188
And we're hoping 
you're going to be joining us

6
00:00:14,188 --> 00:00:16,057
between the 26th and 30th of September 


7
00:00:16,057 --> 00:00:18,517
to celebrate International Translation Day

8
00:00:18,747 --> 00:00:20,881
At Amara, we think subtitles are important


9
00:00:20,881 --> 00:00:23,141
because we believe
information should live free,

10
00:00:23,141 --> 00:00:25,719
and that by improving access to videos 
we are building

11
00:00:25,719 --> 00:00:27,799
a more rich informed and equitable world.

12
00:00:27,799 --> 00:00:31,105
Whether is helping students get access 
to lectures in their languages

13
00:00:31,105 --> 00:00:33,061
or a deaf and hard of hearing user

14
00:00:33,061 --> 00:00:35,821
the ability to experience
a video for the first time

15
00:00:35,821 --> 00:00:38,554
or even just sharing a silly video
with a friend of yours

16
00:00:38,584 --> 00:00:42,276
we know that video accessibility 
is a huge cultural issue

17
00:00:42,276 --> 00:00:44,180
that we need to face together.

18
00:00:44,180 --> 00:00:47,349
We're hoping to meet that challenge 
by taking a step forward

19
00:00:47,349 --> 00:00:48,869
together with all of you.

20
00:00:48,869 --> 00:00:51,674
With that, there's three 
different ways you can celebrate

21
00:00:51,674 --> 00:00:54,014
International Translation Day 2016:

22
00:00:54,014 --> 00:00:56,922
First, share your story about 
how subtitles have impacted

23
00:00:56,922 --> 00:00:58,902
your life and those around you.

24
00:00:58,902 --> 00:01:02,044
Share your story with the hashtag #ITD2016

25
00:01:02,044 --> 00:01:07,991
or email it to us at judit@amara.org 
for a chance to be featured on the Amara blog

26
00:01:07,991 --> 00:01:10,761
and our Social Media outlets 
throughout the week.

27
00:01:10,761 --> 00:01:12,625
Video submissions are also welcome!

28
00:01:12,625 --> 00:01:14,917
Next, you can actually help 
subtitle a video

29
00:01:14,917 --> 00:01:18,039
We've been collecting stories 
from users from all over the globe

30
00:01:18,039 --> 00:01:20,799
sharing their experiences with 
how subtitles have impacted

31
00:01:20,799 --> 00:01:23,928
them and their daily lives,
and they need your translation help.

32
00:01:23,928 --> 00:01:27,001
Check out the link in the 
video description to learn more.

33
00:01:27,241 --> 00:01:29,792
Finally, you can join us 
on September 30th,

34
00:01:29,792 --> 00:01:33,922
International Translation Day itself,
for the Amara Community Summit.

35
00:01:33,926 --> 00:01:36,499
This is where we'll be discussing 
some best practices

36
00:01:36,499 --> 00:01:38,769
on building vibrant 
subtitling communities

37
00:01:38,769 --> 00:01:41,634
and the benefits that subtitles bring 
per culture as a whole

38
00:01:41,904 --> 00:01:45,137
If you want to learn more 
about international Translation Day 2016,

40
00:01:47,207 --> 00:01:48,985
and we'd love to see you participate!

41
00:01:49,564 --> 00:01:52,997
Thank you, and we're looking forward 
to celebrate ITD with you!

42
00:01:53,113 --> 00:01:56,635
That's it, thanks for contributing 
and Happy Internatonal Translation Day!
