"A six panel meme: 1) The Red Ranger from Power Rangers punches into the sky. Text says ""Flawless dialogue lists with cultural context"" 2) The Blue Ranger from Power Ranges holds both arms to the side with clenched fists. Text says ""Perfect Sync"" 3) The Black Ranger from Power Ranges punches into the sky. Text says ""Pro Eng template"" 4) The Yellow Ranger from Power Ranges reaches upwards. Text says ""Finely-crafted translation"" 5) The Pink Ranger holds her arm in a Karate chop. Text says ""Meticulous QC"" 6) A blast of light shines on Alpha 5 from the Power Rangers, a robot.

#MyFavouriteProjectManager
Earlier this month, we shared the list of our AVT Heroes of the Year 2025 with the winner of the My Favourite Project Manager survey, Katarína Zubková. But our members also voted for many other PMs they love to work with...
Subtle is all about building bridges within the AVT industry and appreciating different roles in the localisation process...
While subtitling "Parasite" into your language, how would you treat these inserts? Would you keep English visible as English, translate everything, or signal code-switching typographically or otherwise?
Let us know!
Take the following scene, for example, where a rich woman introduces her husband to their son's art therapist in English ("Jessica, this is Dong-Ik.")
It's time for another #SUBTLEpuzzle!
In "Parasite" (2019), a famous social satire/black comedy by Bong Joon Ho, Korean dialogue is mixed with performative English phrases, usually to signal status, education or aspiration.

"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."
