To wrap our #EyeTracking & #Subtitling Symposium, we have a roundtable to discuss the present challenges and future opportunities of the field. Brilliant lineup of speakers: Valentina Ragni, Agnieszka Szarkowska, Jan-Louis Kruger and Xiaochun Zhang 张晓春, brilliantly shared by Dr Susana Valdez.

Around 200 people attended the "Literary Translators and Technology" event that took place last Friday. I wrote about it on my blog, where you can also watch a recording of my presentation: bohtranslations.com/blog/dual-t-en… Main takeaway: we need more of these conversations! 📚💻

🎉 Exciting news! Our replication paper, "The impact of video and subtitle speed on subtitle reading: an eye-tracking replication study," is now published in JAT Journal! Kudos to JAT for being open-minded enough to embrace a replication study.

Does MT ever influence your translations? Take the verb ‘to strengthen’, often translated literally into Croatian as 'ojačati' or 'osnažiti'. Alternatively, you could use expressions like 'povećati kapacitete' or 'poboljšati'. Can you think of similar examples? Let us know! 👇
