Call for Translators: Unrest!

Dear Translators!

Many, many years ago I was a volunteer author and later, Francophonia editor at GV. It was a wonderful, wonderful experience. I later went to graduate school, where I became severely ill and started making a documentary about my experience, Unrest.

To make Unrest available to as many people as possible, we will be releasing international DVDs and Blu-rays with a wide range of foreign language subtitles. Physical disks are important for people who don't have access to Netflix or other digital platforms, and for community screenings and educational outreach. I would be so grateful if you could donate your time to this effort — or if you know someone that might be interested.

Our goal is to release the international discs by this spring, which includes a March 31 deadline for translations and a quality control [QC] review. We are using the Amara platform to facilitate subtitling.

We have volunteers for other languages [full list below], but we are still seeking volunteers for several languages. We want to ensure all of these languages are included on our international discs, but we cannot do so without a thorough quality control process. Please help us finish the following languages:

  • Brazilian Portuguese [QC only]
  • Chinese – Simplified [Translate, QC + convert to Traditional Chinese]
  • Czech [QC only]
  • European Portuguese [QC only]
  • Hebrew [QC only]
  • Latin American Spanish [QC only]
  • Norwegian [QC only]
  • Polish [QC only]
  • Romanian [QC only]
  • Russian [QC only]
  • Turkish [QC only]

Languages already covered by volunteers:

  • Castilian Spanish
  • Croatian
  • Danish
  • Dutch
  • Finnish
  • French
  • German
  • Greek
  • Italian
  • Japanese
  • Swedish

Thank you in advance!
