Here is a new article from me on usability and subtitling. I hope it's interesting to both researchers and practitioners, and if anyone is interested, I'd love to test the concepts in practice one day!

A very important reminder!
To any translator facing existential dread right now: your choices are valid. You are a professionnal.
A handful of strangers not liking 3 or 4 words from your translation doesn't make it bad. Keep going. You got this.

Twitter ana sayfanızdaki “sana özel, takip ediliyor” kısmını Bluesky’da tamamen özelleştirebiliyorsunuz. Örneğin bir bölümde tamamen kedi paylaşımları görmek istiyorsunuz. Beslemeler’e girin, cats diye arama yapın. Sağ tarafındaki artı işaretine tıklayın. Ana sayfanıza Cats bölümü gelir.
