How Internet Improved Movie Translations
November 27th, 2008, Roman MironovInterestingly, among other innovations, the Internet has dramatically improved translation quality. Let’s look e.g. at the movie translation. Until the Internet, the translators could only watch the movie again and again in pursuit of correct understanding of the source speech. This resulted in lower quality for the end users. On the contrary, today’s translators enjoy working with easy-to-use film scripts and therefore produce better translation with less effort. Ultimately, the end users benefit from greater quality. Importantly, the translators themselves also benefit from being able to access the written scripts instead of deciphering oral speech, which means great time savings that can be used directly for improving quality.
