Join us for International Translation Day 2016!

Hi, my name is Darren Bridenbeck

and I'm the Community
Development Manager at Amara

and I am in beautiful, sunny
Portland, Oregon.

And I'm Judit Piñol,
from Catalonia in Spain.

And we're hoping
you're going to be joining us

between the 26th and 30th of September

to celebrate International Translation Day

At Amara, we think subtitles are important

because we believe
information should live free,

and that by improving access to videos

we are building a more rich,
informed and equitable world.

Whether is helping students get access
to lectures in their languages

or a deaf and hard of hearing user

the ability to experience
a video for the first time

or even just sharing a silly video
with a friend of yours

we know that video accessibility
is a huge cultural issue

that we need to face together.

We're hoping to meet that challenge
by taking a step forward

together with all of you.

With that, there's three
different ways you can celebrate

International Translation Day 2016:

First, share your story about
how subtitles have impacted

your life and those around you.

Share your story with the hashtag #ITD2016

or email it to us at [e-mail]
for a chance to be featured on the Amara blog

and our Social Media outlets
throughout the week.

Video submissions are also welcome!

Next, you can actually help
subtitle a video

We've been collecting stories
from users from all over the globe

sharing their experiences with
how subtitles have impacted

them and their daily lives,
and they need your translation help.

Check out the link in the
video description to learn more.

Finally, you can join us
on September 30th,

International Translation Day itself,
for the Amara Community Summit.

This is where we'll be discussing
some best practices

on building vibrant
subtitling communities

and the benefits that subtitles bring
to our culture as a whole

and Happy Internatonal Translation Day!
