Subtitling has often been seen as a niche pursuit in the field of translation. But in our increasingly digitised world of video, sound and games, AV or multimedia translation is offering new professional opportunities for translators. Dr Miguel Bernal-Merino, lecturer in Audiovisual Translation at the University of Roehampton and an expert in games localisation, and Dr Jorge Díaz-Cintas, Director of the Centre for Translation Studies at UCL, offered an introduction to this growing area, examining

some of the theory and particular challenges of translation for the screen. This event was chaired by Samantha Schnee, Founding Editor and Chair of Words Without Borders.
