Audiovisuelles Übersetzen

The second, revised edition of this practical textbook offers an overview of methods, workflows, and technical possibilities in film translation. The established structure covering topics such as subtitling, synchronization, voice-over, audio description for the visually impaired, song translation, and film interpreting has been retained and supplemented with new working methods and processes. A brief introduction to game localization has been added. The chapters on subtitling and audio description have been significantly expanded, where new techniques, software products, and emerging tasks in translation play a particularly important role. The focus of the book is on practical exercises and information about the working world, while keeping the current state of research in view. The book is suitable for both self-study and classroom use.
