Promotional graphic with a quote comparing machine translation to an eager but confused golden retriever asked to perform neurosurgery. Text invites readers to a Subtle blog column “Not-AI’s notes: subtly about subtitling” by Nota Mouzaki, with her photo and the Subtle logo.

In her latest column, Nota Mouzaki writes about producing fast, cheap subtitles versus treating them as an art form. Is there still any hope for the latter? Have a read here: subtle-subtitlers.org.uk/not-ais-note...

"We're pleased to see that in this year's EGA Hermes Award nominations, some vendors have named the linguists who made the series and films such a success. We're even more delighted to see that many of our members feature among these talented audiovisual translators, SDH and AD authors and dubbing adaptors! 

While it's a huge step in the right direction, it's a shame that not all vendors have shared this information. We hope that the remaining vendors take this step to give these linguists the recognition they deserve."
