Today I wanted to talk about my experiences teaching Introduction to Subtitling as part of the Professional Certificate in Translation offered by the University of California San Diego Extension. After teaching this class for the past 18 months, I can now comfortably paint a good picture of what it’s been like assisting students who already are experienced translators and interpreters as they pivot into subtitling and adapt their current language skills.

In Season 1, Episode 18, I talked about some terms in English that were borrowed by Brazilian Portuguese and took a whole new meaning. In "Misaligned Languages - Part 2," I'll share some of the feedback I got from listeners and other terms that changed once they were adopted by speakers of another language.

Last week, I talked about some words I don’t quite like in my languages because I associate them with other things that have nothing to do with their meaning, or maybe because of how they sound, how they look, or how they don’t quite fit grammatically, at least in my mind. Today I wanted to flip the coin and talk about the other side, the words I actually do like and, spoiler alert: I don’t have a real reason for why I like them―I just do.

When you work with two or more languages, you can’t help but make connections between them. Most of the time, these connections are great because they will help you bring a message from one language into another in a more natural way. Other times, it may turn you off to some words you may look at negatively because you’re being influenced by your other languages. Or maybe you grow fond of a word or expression because of a good memory you’ve attached to it.

I’m not really talking about false friends here―that is, when words look similar in two languages and have completely different meanings. No, I’m talking about the emotional charge you may apply to a word or expression that either makes you want to use it or avoid it.

Today’s episode is coming out on International Translation Day, and I’ve been saving this subject for this special occasion. Today’s theme is “The Language of Affection.” I’ve always been curious about bilingual or multilingual households and how people LIVE and EXIST in different languages. I'll be sharing some anecdotes of my own, as well as some interesting and funny things some translation friends shared with me for this special episode. Do you have some similar stories to tell involving your languages and your interactions with your friends and family? Feel free to record your message on my Anchor voice mail: https://bit.ly/tc-msg

Today we’ll be talking about languages, translation, and interpretation from a different perspective. Let’s explore the language of emojis. Have you ever stopped to think about how something we use every day to communicate with others could be completely misinterpreted? And, as language professionals, did you know that there’s no international dictionary to indicate what each emoji means?

In order to further explore this fascinating subject, I sat down with Holly Silvestri, an experienced translator, interpreter, and founding member of the American Association of Interpreters and Translators in Education. She is also a Tool and Technology in Translation alumna, since she took my class at the University of California San Diego Extension while pursuing her English & Spanish Translation & Interpretation Professional Certificate.

Let's talk about the differences between translation, localization, and transcreation. I'll also read an article written by my dear friend, journalist, translator, and interpreter Denise Bobadilha, who lists some more examples. You can find her original article here: https://bit.ly/2MKg0U4. Keep in mind I had to transcreate her article for this audiovisual medium.
