linguaholic Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 Did you ever heard about TED Talks? If yes, what is your opinion about it?I recently had to hold a presentation about the TED Open Translation Project. It's quite interesting.

takibari Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 I've heard of TED Talks before. I used to watch some of their videos. They have very interesting topics and speakers there. However, it's my first time to hear about OTP Project. Did you say you made a presentation for TED Talks? Wow! That's truly great. TED Talks speakers are shakers in their field. So, yeah congratulations for being one of the speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lushlala Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 No, I've never heard about the TED OTP project before. I just had a quick read via your link, and I'm very impressed by the initiative, I think it's brilliant! Wow, 300 translations in 40 languages is amazing. Kudos to you also for being one of the presenters. You guys are doing a great job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neftom Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 I have made it a habit to listen to one TED talk a day (sometimes the most recent, sometimes an older one). Nice to have on my phone while exercising or cooking - few of them show graphics so I barely miss a thing. The majority are in English which I don't mind at all.That makes it sound like TED talks are mere background noise like any random podcast but no, I've found almost every single one I listened to fascinating. Educational. Makes me sit and think.It's still great to have translators doing the OTP because occasionally I really want to show my relatives or friends a presentation and not all of them are able to speak/understand fluent English. Being able to share talks this way is great!I'm curious... did your presentation cover something interesting that's not immediately obvious from the site?

Trellum Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 To be honest I had no idea this project even existed. Thanks a lot for sharing this with us!!! I'm currently studying Dutch and will be having a very important exam soon, those subtitled talk will surely help me greatly! I only wished they made the subtitles even bigger and easier to read. That is the only complaint I have regarding to this project, other than that... AMAZING job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anna3101 Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 This is such a great initiative! I listen to TED talks from time to time, and I often wish I could share some of my favourites with those friends who don't speak English.
