Event

In this talk I will share my experience as a fansubber in China’s biggest fansub group—YYeTs and introduce the working rules and procedures within YYeTs. Then I will share some interesting examples I have found in doing the subtitle translation. Specifically, I will present one case study—the translation project of Bohemian Rhapsody, and show how the work is distributed, coordinated and completed within the project group. During the talk, the audience will also get to know a few inside stories about China’s popular fansub groups.
