ElsaMarie DSilva - International Translation Day 2017
-
0:01 - 0:03Hi, my name is Elsa Marieds
-
0:03 - 0:06and I'm the founder and CEO
of Red Dot Foundation -
0:06 - 0:08also known as Safecity
-
0:09 - 0:13Safecity is a crowd map
for sexual violence in public spaces -
0:13 - 0:15and this is collected
as location based trends -
0:15 - 0:17visualised on a map, as hotspots
-
0:18 - 0:21As you know, sexual violence
is a global pandemic -
0:21 - 0:24we have received
a lot of international recognition -
0:24 - 0:29for our work in crowdsourcing data
and technology to address it -
0:30 - 0:35As a result, we've been invited
to speak across the world -
0:35 - 0:39and share our work with several audiences
-
0:39 - 0:43I speak in English, but my audiences
may not know English -
0:43 - 0:44as their primary language
-
0:45 - 0:49Therefore, translation is critical
because it helps share my message -
0:49 - 0:53in the true context and meaning
that I intend it to be -
0:54 - 0:57For example, I'm in Argentina right now
-
0:57 - 0:59and I've had several speaking assignments
-
0:59 - 1:02with over five hundred people
at each of these places -
1:03 - 1:06Without the help of translators,
these people -
1:06 - 1:08would not have understood
a word of what I said -
1:09 - 1:14yet, they have appreciated my work
and they've got the context and meaning -
1:14 - 1:16of what we are doing
-
1:16 - 1:19So in this International Translator's Day
-
1:19 - 1:22I would like to celebrate
translators and translations -
1:22 - 1:26And thank you very much
because language is so critical -
1:26 - 1:32we have to find the bridges
to share our experiences with each other -
1:33 - 1:34Thank you.
