Me informa mi señora madre que tras llover todo el día, en Paysandú acaba de salir el sol justo a tiempo para ponerse. Abro la puerta para comprobar qué tal por casa, y me encuentro con esto.
Las traducciones —las que os hacen soltar una carcajada, las que citáis toda la vida, las de diálogos que os dan un stendhalazo, las que os despiertan simpatía por una desconocida que os manda un achuchón— son obras derivadas. Las maltratan mientras os suben los precios 🔽 traduccionhumana.com

Bensonsenora @bensonsenora.bsky.social · 2d agoEspero que a la persona que tradujo “All Is Not Ok in Oklahoma” por “Poca broma en Oklahoma” le esté yendo genial en la vida. A veces pienso en tu traducción y me sigue dando la risilla. Gracias.

Hoy, en Minidramas triviales: No puedo poner la calefacción porque el ruido del aparato es incompatible con crear SPS. Me voy a hacer un mate, no porque me apetezca, sino para seguir metiéndome algo calentito en el cuerpo toda la mañana. ¿Que hay cosas peores? Obvs, pero estos son mis blues de hoy.
For something I wrote recently, I was asked to disclose if I used AI/LLM, and like an adult, I more or less replied LOL, also LMAO. And I linked to this www.moryan.com/an-open-lett...

¿Alguien sabe cómo enviar una queja por mala calidad de subtítulos a Paramount+? No he podido encontrar nada obvio ni desde la app ni abriéndolo en la web. Para muestra, un botón: "Don't you look smart!" -->"Sí que pareces inteligente." (la inteligencia: vestir un traje impecable)
Remember, Cape Verde is the only team to draw Spain this World Cup
No sé si este espectáculo se puede superar. He terminado el partido riéndome a carcajadas de incredulidad y pura diversión.
Rescatada, desempolvada y usada hoy: "¡Es la muerte en camiseta!" Me suena que la que lo decía en mis años formativos era mi madre.
To my subtitler colleagues out there, this is time-sensitive and critical to our survival. Think long term. Colegas de TAV, es imperioso que negociemos tarifas justas y sostenibles en este momento crucial. Pensemos en frío y a largo plazo. #StandTogether #HagamosPiña

I have been listening to the last ever episode of the Slate Culture Gabfest in short installments. I have still 2 minutes to go and change, and I will save them for later today in a futile attempt to postpone the end. ⤵️

That's what we call a smart way to be cost-effective: instead of getting fooled by the AI hype & thereby opting for less quality, cut out the (often various!) middlemen.💡 There's lots of great AV translators around for all kind of language pairs. They're not hard to find! Ask the AV associations!
