Subtitling Training for Translators from Concept to European Extension

Describes the origin and development of a new training programme for subtitling in translation, launched in September 1990, as a collaborative scheme between University of Wales, Lampeter and the Welsh‐Medium Broadcasting Authority Sianel Pedwar Cymru, Cardiff, in response to a shortage of trained subtitlers in TV Production Companies. Traces the programme from first recognition of training need through collaborative development of the programme and reports on an extension to other European Linguistic contexts.
