Hello again, in the next video 
Katharina Wiesmannn from ZDF digital. 

3
00:00:16,705 --> 00:00:21,605
She is a live subtitler
and will provide us a deeper explanation

4
00:00:21,605 --> 00:00:24,873
on how terminology 
is managed and implemented

5
00:00:24,873 --> 00:00:29,315
in the specific context 
of TV broadcasting.

6
00:00:29,315 --> 00:00:31,264
I hope you will enjoy it!

00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:37,159
Hi i'm Katharina Wiessermann ,
I work for ZDF digital as a live subtitler.

8
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:42,351
My main working context is News, 
live broadcasting, TV shows,

9
00:00:42,351 --> 00:00:45,120
sport events and morning shows.

10
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,867
When you receive a real-time 
intralingual subtitling work

11
00:00:48,867 --> 00:00:51,711
when do you start 
preparing the terminology?

12
00:00:51,711 --> 00:00:56,865
It's at least one hour of preparation 
but it always depends on the subject.

13
00:00:56,865 --> 00:01:00,527
If it's a new subject we have to find out 
everything about the terminology

14
00:01:00,527 --> 00:01:01,865
that could appear,

15
00:01:01,865 --> 00:01:05,925
we've to predict challenges 
that could come up like unknown names

16
00:01:05,925 --> 00:01:07,424
or technical terms.

17
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,746
From your experience 
which are the main challenges

18
00:01:10,746 --> 00:01:13,054
when preparing and managing 
the terminology

19
00:01:13,054 --> 00:01:14,513
for your working context?

20
00:01:14,513 --> 00:01:17,630
and are there any specific areas

21
00:01:17,630 --> 00:01:21,196
that demand a higher terminology preparation and management?

22
00:01:21,196 --> 00:01:25,605
It's difficult to know in which direction the show will develop.

23
00:01:25,605 --> 00:01:29,332
it happens that people 
change the subject

24
00:01:29,332 --> 00:01:31,684
and talk about something different whatever is on their mind.

25
00:01:31,684 --> 00:01:34,811
if it's a political talk you must know 
the background of people

26
00:01:34,811 --> 00:01:36,554
who are going to be interviewed.

27
00:01:36,554 --> 00:01:40,345
Terminology could change 
any minute,  any moment

28
00:01:40,345 --> 00:01:42,989
and ideally you know everything 
about the topic

29
00:01:42,989 --> 00:01:45,200
or you know at least how to write it.

30
00:01:45,472 --> 00:01:48,342
Always expect the unexpected.

31
00:01:48,342 --> 00:01:52,218
Which information or documentation related to terminology

32
00:01:52,218 --> 00:01:55,430
do you receive or request 
from your customer?

33
00:01:55,430 --> 00:01:58,166
we need information about the topic

34
00:01:58,166 --> 00:02:00,977
we also have to know 
who's going to be interviewed,

35
00:02:00,977 --> 00:02:02,585
who is going to be on the show.

36
00:02:02,585 --> 00:02:07,416
we've to know if it's a sport event, 
what kind of event it's going to be,

37
00:02:07,416 --> 00:02:09,519
who are the athletics, 
who are the experts,

38
00:02:09,519 --> 00:02:12,292
who is the coach of the team, 
the whole package,

39
00:02:12,292 --> 00:02:15,000
we have to know everything 
if it's possible.

40
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:20,000
Which sources and tools do you use 
to prepare and manage terminology?  

41
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:25,398
Some information is provided to us 
by the customer liked scripts

42
00:02:25,398 --> 00:02:29,300
and furthermore we have access 
to certain editorial software

43
00:02:29,300 --> 00:02:32,400
which can contain 
extra information about the show

44
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,248
like any special terminology

45
00:02:35,248 --> 00:02:38,502
and if more information is needed 
we use databases

46
00:02:38,502 --> 00:02:40,724
like Google or Channel home pages,

47
00:02:40,724 --> 00:02:44,572
and we create a list of new words 
with these informations

48
00:02:44,572 --> 00:02:47,727
and add the list 
to our respeaking software

49
00:02:47,807 --> 00:02:51,688
From your experience 
which are the most difficult terms

50
00:02:51,688 --> 00:02:55,059
to manage 
in real-time intralingual subtitling?

51
00:02:55,059 --> 00:02:58,821
we noticed that numbers 
are main problem of the software

52
00:02:58,821 --> 00:03:06,446
if you say 2015 the program writes 
three words "2000 and 15".

53
00:03:06,446 --> 00:03:08,680
And not 2015.

54
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,776
So you have to dictate precisely 
what you really mean

55
00:03:11,776 --> 00:03:14,564
also names are a main problem.

56
00:03:14,564 --> 00:03:16,912
They can be difficult to pronounce

57
00:03:16,912 --> 00:03:20,394
and they are names 
like Biden the US president

58
00:03:20,394 --> 00:03:23,786
and "beiden" which is german for "both".

59
00:03:23,786 --> 00:03:26,100
And they are spelled differently.

60
00:03:26,100 --> 00:03:29,053
therefore you have to train 
the we speaking software

61
00:03:29,053 --> 00:03:32,277
in which case to use which term.

62
00:03:32,277 --> 00:03:35,371
Once the work is finished 
do you update your terminology

63
00:03:35,371 --> 00:03:37,120
before the next work?

64
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,932
Normally we update the list 
before the work,

65
00:03:39,932 --> 00:03:42,693
so there will be no surprises.

66
00:03:42,693 --> 00:03:47,647
The program ideally already knows 
all the new terminology

67
00:03:47,647 --> 00:03:49,673
when the live show starts.

68
00:03:49,917 --> 00:03:52,447
If we notice during the show
that there are terms  

69
00:03:52,447 --> 00:03:55,168
that the program doesn't know yet 
we add them to the list.

70
00:03:55,168 --> 00:03:58,799
So afterwards we don't have much to do with the terminology

71
00:03:58,799 --> 00:04:00,368
or the list of terminology.

72
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:04,800
But in our office all the respeakers 
share the same list.  

73
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,358
So it's very important that the list 
is always updated

74
00:04:08,358 --> 00:04:10,935
always filled with new material

75
00:04:10,935 --> 00:04:13,540
so normally we do it before the show

76
00:04:13,540 --> 00:04:17,371
if anything new comes up 
we still update the list afterwards.
