00:00:00.221 --> 00:00:01.987
Hi, my name is Darren Bridenbeck

00:00:01.987 --> 00:00:04.623
and I'm the Community
Development Manager at Amara

00:00:04.623 --> 00:00:08.652
and I am in beautiful, sunny
Portland, Oregon.

00:00:09.136 --> 00:00:11.684
And I'm Judit Piñol, 
from Catalonia in Spain.

00:00:11.994 --> 00:00:14.188
And we're hoping 
you're going to be joining us

00:00:14.188 --> 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 --> 00:00:23.121
because we believe
information should live free,

00:00:23.121 --> 00:00:24.929
and that by improving access to videos

00:00:24.929 --> 00:00:27.799
we are building a more rich,
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 --> 00:00:38.564
or even just sharing a silly video
with a friend of yours

00:00:38.564 --> 00:00:42.276
we know that video accessibility 
is a huge cultural issue

00:00:42.276 --> 00:00:44.180
that we need to face together.

00:00:44.180 --> 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 --> 00:01:02.044
Share your story with the hashtag #ITD2016

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

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 --> 00:01:14.917
Next, you can actually help 
subtitle a video

00:01:14.917 --> 00:01:18.039
We've been collecting stories 
from users from all over the globe

00:01:18.039 --> 00:01:20.799
sharing their experiences with 
how subtitles have impacted

00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:23.928
them and their daily lives,
and they need your translation help.

00:01:23.928 --> 00:01:27.001
Check out the link in the 
video description to learn more.

00:01:27.241 --> 00:01:29.792
Finally, you can join us 
on September 30th,

00:01:29.792 --> 00:01:33.996
International Translation Day itself,
for the Amara Community Summit.

00:01:33.996 --> 00:01:36.499
This is where we'll be discussing 
some best practices

00:01:36.499 --> 00:01:38.769
on building vibrant 
subtitling communities

00:01:38.769 --> 00:01:41.774
and the benefits that subtitles bring 
to our culture as a whole

00:01:41.974 --> 00:01:45.337
If you want to learn more 
about international Translation Day 2016,

00:01:47.407 --> 00:01:49.185
and we'd love to see you participate!

00:01:49.564 --> 00:01:52.997
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!
