Helloo...[br]my name is Riccardo.

0:00:06.222,0:00:13.322
And I just received an email[br]about the "International Translation Day"...

0:00:13.494,0:00:19.513
and I do want to support it,[br]as kindly requested:

0:00:21.243,0:00:25.433
"raise awareness about their importance"[br](subtitles)

0:00:25.873,0:00:32.254
The importance of subtitles,[br]and with it...

0:00:32.254,0:00:37.764
for a wider global public...

0:00:37.764,0:00:45.235
well, important documentaries[br]or messages (knowledge, wisdom...)

0:00:45.235,0:00:49.546
to make them available.

0:00:49.815,0:00:52.347
I do think that is very important.

0:00:52.347,0:00:55.147
And when I saw that videos were suggested[br]as an option, I thought:

0:00:56.627,0:01:04.567
"What better than a video in Dutch[br]and then subtitle it in English..."

0:01:04.657,0:01:07.427
[instead of always the other way around ;)]

0:01:07.567,0:01:13.379
because I think that, amongst other,

0:01:13.779,0:01:20.459
the distribution of languages [br]should be supported as much as possible!

0:01:21.699,0:01:30.933
And that everybody should, actually,[br]always start in their original language....

0:01:31.701,0:01:34.511
and then, if necessary, subtitle it.

0:01:35.461,0:01:38.363
My personal story...

0:01:38.363,0:01:45.337
I was born in Italy, in Milan.[br]My father is Italian.

0:01:46.397,0:01:50.283
But I grew up in Holland,[br]from my fourth year on.

0:01:50.283,0:01:54.644
My mother is Dutch,[br]although she was born in Indonesia.

0:01:54.644,0:01:57.204
And so, from my youngest years,

0:01:57.204,0:02:01.284
I have had the priviledge,[br]to manage more than one langauge.

0:02:01.284,0:02:05.384
It is enriching! You grow from it.[br]Other languages... other cultures.

0:02:06.624,0:02:11.606
With, additionally, what we have here in Holland,[br]the fact that at school...[br]

0:02:13.706,0:02:21.835
you also learn the other 'great' languages[br]that surround us: German, French and English...

0:02:22.165,0:02:26.277
with another advantage on top of that,[br]yet another priviledge...

0:02:26.277,0:02:31.360
that here in Holland, just like in [br]Scandinavia or Portugal,

0:02:31.600,0:02:35.769
everything on tv or movie...

0:02:35.769,0:02:39.560
is SUB-TI-TLED

0:02:39.560,0:02:41.750
so you can HEAR the other language!

0:02:42.030,0:02:45.639
Not like other countries [br]where they are being <i>dubbed</i>

0:02:45.639,0:02:49.961
and which makes you loose the richness[br]of the original language.

0:02:49.961,0:02:56.192
Just by hearing the other language[br]you get to know the other culture...

0:02:56.192,0:03:00.432
at least in a certain way.[br][and thus, understand it better]

0:03:00.432,0:03:03.960
And you loose that by dubbing.

0:03:03.960,0:03:07.423
THERE is where I see[br]an important role of subtitling.
