TED Translators

40 TED Talks dubbed in 11 languages are now live on TED.com. Some of our most powerful and widely viewed ideas can now be experienced more fully in another language, helping the message land with greater authenticity and connection. Huge shoutout to our incredible AI Dubbing Specialists who helped make this possible. Explore the dubbed talks and experience them in your language: https://lnkd.in/e-sjE55r https://lnkd.in/et5fVdit

Happy New Year! 🐎 Wishing our global community abundance, courage, and good luck in the Year of the Fire Horse. May your ideas travel far and your words carry meaning across every language. #yearofthehorse #firehorse #happynewyear #globalcommunity #multilingual #tedtranslators

#tbt: Ten years ago at TED2016, translators left their footprints on the steps of the iconic Vancouver Convention Centre. 👣 Now we’re returning for TED2026! What kind of mark will we make when we gather again? #tedtranslators #ted #translate #subtitles #volunteers #volunteering #translation #community #countdown #tedconference

A new month, and a fresh shout-out to community members who go above and beyond. We’re spotlighting some of the translators on our localization team who are supporting the TED app. Their work helps keep its multilingual experience strong, so international audiences can watch, explore, and engage with TED ideas across languages. So grateful for everything you do to make TED more accessible, everywhere. #ted #tedtranslators #volunteer #community #translation #translator #ideasworthspreading #communityfirst #monthlyhighlights

New feature alert! We’re excited to officially roll out Language Profiles on CaptionHub, a new feature designed to help our community create better subtitles, tuned for each language. In the past, each language had its own subtitling conventions that translators intuitively followed, but there wasn’t a way to enforce those differences in the subtitle editor. While the default settings worked well for many European languages, we knew a one-size-fits-all approach wasn’t ideal. With language profile now in place, translators can create captions that feel more natural and consistent for local audiences. A huge thank you to the language supervisors who helped shape these guidelines, and to the TEDNext2025 Translator Delegates who shared insights on better subtitling practices with us. Go check it out!✨ #ted #tedtranslators #volunteer #community #translation #translator #language 

We closed out last year with one final review-a-thon, bringing the community together for a collective push to tackle the review backlogs. In just one week in December, reviewers and Language Supervisors from different language communities showed up, supported their peers, and worked side by side to move talks and subtitles forward. Take a look at what they achieved together! Gifts will be on their way to the top contributors! #ted #tedtranslators #volunteer #community #translation #translator #reviewathon #reviewer #teamwork
