Gain a solid understanding of the different Audiovisual Translation (AVT) modes available for media localisation, and the main issues to consider, in this workshop with Sara Ramos Pinto, a leading researcher and trainer in the field. You will come away with the knowledge you need to decide whether to expand into this field.

There will also be a discussion of examples and how to tackle their translation
This workshop is aimed at any professional in T&I with an interest in AVT or who wants to pursue AVT as a possible area of work but has little or no knowledge of what it is about or where to start. It will also be of interest to those who wish to expand their practice into localisation (including websites, tourist brochures or video games) as the principles on how to approach these products are very similar.
