A very good year in Audiovisual Translation / Um bom ano em Tradução Audiovisual
Aliás, ano e meio, 18 meses de tradução e legendagem. Muitos programas traduzidos e legendados com template para a Netflix, por interposta agência, que não tive o prazer de ver e fotografar porque não tenho a plataforma disponível em Portugal, e as legendas em Português raramente são disponibilizadas quando a origem é outra. Alguns dos meus programas que tive tempo de ver passar para tirar a foto da vaidade :) Para a RTP, que mostra sempre a autoria e que reproduz conteúdos na plataforma RTP Play: Para os canais FOX / Disney, incluindo episódios da série Serviço de Urgência / E.R., porventura dos conteúdos mais difíceis de legendar.

White fish would be fried in a thin coat of flour ready for the Sabbath and when the potato became popular in the 1800’s, they made the perfect accompaniment… Now you know where “fish and chip Friday” comes from! It’s starting to feel like Portugal doesn’t quite get the credit it deserves when it comes to “native” food…While many foods have been taken from India and ad...
