In the next video 
Enrico Pigliacampo

00:00:14,250 --> 00:00:17,200
who's a professional 
real-time intralingual subtitler

4
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:20,520
working in cultural contexts

5
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:25,110
will explain us how terminology 
is managed and implemented

6
00:00:25,110 --> 00:00:27,802
in this specific context.

7
00:00:27,802 --> 00:00:29,443
I hope you will enjoy it!

8
00:00:29,844 --> 00:00:33,850
The working context I work in
the most is cultural events

9
00:00:33,850 --> 00:00:36,218
specially Film Festivals

10
00:00:36,218 --> 00:00:40,536
and collateral events 
such as film markets, press conferences

11
00:00:40,536 --> 00:00:44,528
conferences addressed 
to the film industry and so on.

12
00:00:44,528 --> 00:00:49,427
When we receive a subtitling work 
the first steps we usually take

13
00:00:49,427 --> 00:00:55,465
are connected to the identification 
of participants and topic of the event.

14
00:00:55,465 --> 00:00:59,119
We do a general research 
on the topic and the life,

15
00:00:59,119 --> 00:01:02,346
specially professional life 
of the participants

16
00:01:02,347 --> 00:01:05,033
to have a general view 
of what the event is about.

17
00:01:05,033 --> 00:01:09,811
Then we asked for scripts, 
schedule and any available document.

18
00:01:09,811 --> 00:01:12,927
When we receive it 
we try to identify the terms

19
00:01:12,927 --> 00:01:15,765
which may cause problems 
during the subtitling

20
00:01:15,765 --> 00:01:19,200
names, titles of films, 
technical terms, and so on.

21
00:01:20,625 --> 00:01:24,567
For example for a press conference 
or an awards ceremony

22
00:01:24,567 --> 00:01:28,667
we make sure that we are able 
to transcribe names of speakers,

23
00:01:28,667 --> 00:01:34,934
titles of the film which at this stage 
are always still in the original language,

24
00:01:34,934 --> 00:01:39,000
and other related names
that could be potentially mentioned.

25
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:44,143
So we must be able to spell correctly 
the names of a Chinese director

26
00:01:44,143 --> 00:01:49,567
for example a Russian scriptwriter 
or a Korean actor

27
00:01:49,567 --> 00:01:53,840
who might be named 
during an award acceptance speech.

28
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:02,554
The most difficult part is to identify 
what people will talk about.  

29
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:07,658
It is not unusual that other topics 
come in during a cultural event

30
00:02:07,658 --> 00:02:11,810
which are completely different 
from the main field of the event.

31
00:02:11,810 --> 00:02:16,019
For example, politics 
or anecdotes from private life.

32
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:20,775
Identifying the names 
that may be mentioned is very difficult.  

33
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,959
This is very important 
because misspelling  of names

34
00:02:23,959 --> 00:02:26,193
may cause embarrassing moments.

35
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:31,819
When we work for awards ceremonies
for film festivals for example

36
00:02:31,819 --> 00:02:35,316
we discover who are the winners 
during the event.

37
00:02:35,316 --> 00:02:39,372
So, the preparation must cover 
all the films in competition.

38
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:44,065
Sometimes we are given the names 
few minutes before the ceremony starts

39
00:02:44,065 --> 00:02:48,330
and we have little time 
to add the names in the software.

40
00:02:50,110 --> 00:02:56,045
A higher terminology preparation 
is required when you work in a new project.

41
00:02:56,045 --> 00:03:02,020
I'll make an example, you always work
for Film Festivals and film industry

42
00:03:02,020 --> 00:03:06,000
but you're asked to work 
for a Literary Tour Festival

43
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:07,469
and you accept the work.

44
00:03:07,920 --> 00:03:12,381
You build your terminology 
thanks to your years of experience

45
00:03:12,381 --> 00:03:17,087
with the industry, but literature 
has a completely different terminology

46
00:03:17,087 --> 00:03:23,913
so if you only have to search for names
and specific terms for a Film Festival

47
00:03:23,913 --> 00:03:27,834
in the new field of literature 
you will have to make a research 

48
00:03:27,834 --> 00:03:32,086
also into the most used terms
of this specific field. 

49
00:03:32,627 --> 00:03:36,000
We usually request 
all available materials,

50
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:40,429
schedule, scripts, 
press material, leaflets and so on.

51
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:45,477
Some cultural events for example
ceremonies during Film Festivals

52
00:03:45,477 --> 00:03:48,859
follow a script 
because they are broadcasted on TV

53
00:03:48,859 --> 00:03:50,595
or streamed live.

54
00:03:50,595 --> 00:03:54,078
The script is very useful 
for two purposes

55
00:03:54,078 --> 00:03:57,421
First, because we can create 
semi live subtitles

56
00:03:57,421 --> 00:03:59,812
for the scripted parts of the ceremony

57
00:03:59,812 --> 00:04:04,165
and use real-time subtitling
for the parts which are not in the scripts.

58
00:04:04,165 --> 00:04:08,062
For example, acceptance speeches 
by awards winner.

59
00:04:08,062 --> 00:04:12,384
Secondly, we use the script 
to identify the participants

60
00:04:12,384 --> 00:04:15,579
and all the terms that will be used 
during the event

61
00:04:15,579 --> 00:04:20,812
and that may be repeated in the parts 
that require real-time subtitling

62
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,302
we don't have specific tools 
for terminology.

63
00:04:24,494 --> 00:04:26,923
We usually use search engines

64
00:04:26,923 --> 00:04:30,694
and create a list of terms 
with Microsoft excel.

65
00:04:30,815 --> 00:04:36,186
Film databases such as imdb.com 
are very useful too

66
00:04:36,186 --> 00:04:39,303
and of course the catalog of the event.

67
00:04:39,460 --> 00:04:44,544
The most difficult types of terms 
in cultural events are usually names.

68
00:04:44,544 --> 00:04:47,449
For example ceremonies 
in Film Festivals

69
00:04:47,449 --> 00:04:51,790
have a lot of names of actors, 
directors, but also associations, 

70
00:04:51,790 --> 00:04:53,815
companies, sponsors and so on.

71
00:04:54,199 --> 00:04:58,923
Usually they are not identified 
by speech recognition software

72
00:04:58,923 --> 00:05:01,947
and you lose a lot of time 
if you have to type them all.

73
00:05:01,948 --> 00:05:05,249
So it is important to build a terminology
with these terms

74
00:05:05,249 --> 00:05:09,579
and also create macros 
to go faster while they're speaking.

75
00:05:10,539 --> 00:05:14,836
We always keep updated 
our list of most useful terms

76
00:05:14,836 --> 00:05:17,502
and also the materials we receive.

77
00:05:17,502 --> 00:05:22,687
We also add terms which may come up
during the event which cause problems

78
00:05:22,687 --> 00:05:26,154
to avoid the same issues 
next time they are used.
