UNIACC University in Santiago, Chile started the collaboration with ZOOsubs at the beginning of the year. Since 2014, Translation and Interpreting students at the university have been subtitling real audiovisual content thanks to the generosity of independent directors who -by working on a budget- would never have the chance of having their films translated to another language. This synergy has given the students the chance to get closer to real work in a professional environment.
The addition of a platform like ZOOsubs (courtesy of ZOO Academy) has made this experience even more fulfilling. Although we're still at the initial stage of the implementation of the platform, the reaction, interest, excitement, and commitment of the students can only be described as unprecedented. We expect a long and lasting collaboration with ZOO Digital, and more than anything, we expect to have some of our students working as professional subtitlers at ZOO in the near future.
