My review of @abolgaresc.bsky.social's book published by JoSTrans is out. A must-read monograph you shouldn't miss. Practices, Education and Technology in Audiovisual Translation. www.jostrans.org/article/view...

Do you watch foreign-language content with English subtitles? A survey explores how English-speaking viewers engage with subtitles and whether optional on-screen explanations could help improve understanding. It takes about 15-20 minutes to complete: forms.office.com/e/6Hd0DtYJsx.

Readers have to work harder to understand a badly translated text: an eye-tracking study into the effects of translation errors Texts are translated to be read and provide access to otherwise inaccessible information or experiences. Scant empirical interest in how translations are read and received by readers is surprising ...

And here's another reason to hire professional translators!
Recent research shows that low-quality translations, those with errors, lead to longer reading times (i.e., waste readers’ time) compared to high-quality translations. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
