Course Description
This unit describes the skills required to translate audio and audiovisual source language tapes and scripts into another language so that they may be narrated or re voiced in a target language, or be used as subtitles or captioning to a video source text. The unit requires a high level of comprehension of the audio visual source language, the ability to work between two different languages in spoken and written form, and the ability to reflect the register of the source in the target language. The translation assignment may also be for entertainment and dramatic material, where adaptation to audience may take precedence over fidelity to source. This unit will be delivered in a cluster as follows:
