“…These norms prescribe a higher pace of subtitles, with more subtitles per minute, higher reading speeds and less condensation. Georgakopoulou (2010) and Sokoli (2009) have shown that there is more omission and reading speeds are lower in Greek DVD subtitles than in Spanish ones, which illustrates this point. In many ways, this is at odds with the best interests of the viewers, as viewers in dubbing countries are less used to reading subtitles, and presumably need more time to do so.…”

Like other translation norms, interlingual subtitling norms for television evolve over time, influenced by technology, mediascape development and other trends. Originating in cinema subtitling norms, TV subtitling norms began to develop at national public service broadcasters. Later, norms became international with the rise of the DVD and the proliferation of commercial TV in Europe. These days, the most influential force driving subtitling norms is arguably the global video on demand (VOD) providers. This paper investigates the subtitling guidelines of VOD giant Netflix, in search of the question: How local are interlingual subtitling norms for streamed television? The results show that there is little variation in the initial guidelines, but that they are continually becoming more varied, as they are localized using input from users.

After years of rejection and criticism blaming on their entertaining nature as a source of distraction within the classroom, in recent decades audiovisual translation has been accepted as a tool for language learning. Real-life needs have shown that watching subtitled audiovisual materials enhances language acquisition and foster varied skills, so that it has gained a place in the classroom. Recently, one step forward has been taken in the use of this resource, moving from passive subtitles to active subtitling, in order to turn the target receiver —the foreign-language student— into a subtitler. The present article reviews the didactic possibilities of both activities, analyses the benefits of active subtitling, and presents some subtitling programmes whose features make them feasible for use as a teaching tool.

“…When SDH is needed for people who suffer from hearing impairment to be successfully integrated into the information society, a number of operational criteria come into play: -Semiotics of subtitling: the interrelation between dialogue, image, sound and subtitles, and the influence of filmic conventions on SDH (Ivarsson 1992;De Linde & Kay 1999;Chaume 2004;Neves 2005;Díaz Cintas & Remael 2007;Sokoli 2009). -Adaptation of subtitles: the much debated question of the appropriated level of adaptation as opposed to requests for more verbatim subtitles (Jensema 1998;De Linde & Kay 1999;Liso et al 2002;Neves 2005;Ofcom 2005;Schilperoord et al 2005;Di Silvio 2006).…”

The aim of this article is to present the results of a questionnaire-based study carried out as part of the author' s Master' s Degree dissertation about Subtitles for the Deaf and Hard-of-hearing (SDH). In particular, the need to gather specific information regarding audience design will be highlighted in the paper, since this research field has long been neglected in Italy.The questions were aimed at shedding light on the needs, cultural environment and world-view of Italian SDH users, by eliciting personal data as well as subtitlerelated information. Moreover, the 232 respondents were asked to suggest improvements to SDH services in Italy.Although these first results cannot allow definite conclusions because of the limited number of respondents to the survey, they might prove to be helpful for professional translators and subtitlers to better know their intended recipients. ResumenEl objetivo del presente trabajo es dar a conocer los resultados de una investigación sobre subtítulos para sordos (SpS) llevada a cabo por la autora en el ámbito de su tesis de máster. En particular, se hace hincapié en la necesidad de disponer de la debida información acerca de las personas con discapacidad auditiva, un tema bastante descuidado en Italia hasta ahora.Para ello ha sido elaborado un cuestionario que arroja luz sobre las necesidades, el entorno cultural y la visión del mundo de los usuarios de SpS en Italia. Aunque no se puedan sacar conclusiones generales de estos primeros resultados, dado el número limitado de encuestados, éstas podrán ser utiles para los traductores y subtituladores, puesto que muy raramente poseen información sobre el perfil de los usuarios de SpS.
