For the first time since its inception, I'm happy to report that ALL nominees of #TheGameAwards include #TranslatorsInTheCredits! We've come a long way since the dark days of credit withholding, and none of this would've been possible without your support!

Text on a grey background above the SUBTLE logo. The text reads: Over the past few days, posts about delayed invoice payments from Blu Digital Group have been rightfully circulating on social media. We highly discourage freelancers from working with Blu Digital Group group and stand with those whose payments have been delayed. We commend freelancers for bravely speaking out. However, they should not have to go to such lengths simply to get paid for their work.

Text on a grey background above the SUBTLE logo. The text reads: Blu Digital Group’s requests that posts be deleted following payment is a pitiful attempt to control their image by censoring freelancers. We will not be silenced and will continue to fight until our rights are respected and our work is valued. We ask that Blu Digital Group's high-profile clients, such as Amazon, Netflix, HBO and Disney, reconsider working with the group and investigate the unethical practices in their value chain.

#TranslatorsInTheCredits

Por favor, no difundáis cosas como que no hay traductores suficientes para subtitular todos los vídeos que se suben a internet. Lo que no hay es ganas de pagar el trabajo. Somos decenas de miles de personas o más y otras tantas pagando pastizales para formarse profesionalmente para hacerlo.

Netflix - please stop minimising the end credits of movies to suggest something else. Let viewers enjoy the soundtrack and see the cast and crew that worked on the film. We'll exit it ourselves when ready to.

Al traducir literatura, el texto no solo nos pasa por la mente. Nos pasa por el cuerpo, por el alma, por lo que sabemos de nosotros y por lo que ni sospechamos. El texto nos atraviesa y sale transformado, aunque quieran hacer de cuenta que es el mismo y que quien tradujo nunca estuvo ahí.

Me! 🙋‍♀️✨ Thank you for this initiative!

#SubtitlersInTheCredits are an author's right, but also an audience right: they deserve to know when the content they enjoy is crafted by humans.

Out of thousands of minutes and words translated and QCed for streaming platforms, video games, and webcomics platforms, these are the only titles I can mention (so far) due to NDAs and lack of crediting. We have to keep voicing this issue until we see change! 💪

As translators, we are often overlooked and not properly credited for our work. So let's celebrate and commend those who acknowledge and give our work the recognition it deserves. 👏

The lack of #TranslatorsInTheCredits, particularly in the video game and webcomic industry, is an issue that needs to be voiced until we see change. Our work helps content reach wider audiences and deserves recognition.

Out of thousands of minutes and words translated and QCed for streaming platforms, video games, and webcomic platforms, these are the only titles I can mention (so far) due to NDAs and lack of crediting.

It's #PortfolioDay again! ✨

Is #PortfolioDay a thing here as well?
Hi! I'm an English into LATAM Spanish video game translator, and these are 4 games that I worked on and came out this year.
Feels good to replace the "Under NDA" cards with the actual games, all thanks to the #TranslatorsInTheCredits movement!

Why Machine Translating Japanese Media is a BAD Idea Machine translating Japanese Media is a very, very bad idea and I wouldn't trust companies that push MT on their translators.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, machine translation should not be used for creative work.

"It drives down the quality of localization as people cut more and more corners to save money. Which means the buyer spend full price on lower quality products."
