Guidance for Translator

Closed Captioning your files with CaptionSync allows you to submit guidance for the translators. This article shows how.

Sending Guidance for the Translator:

Use the Guidance for Translator feature to send notes and specific instructions for the translators, like the translation of special/technical terminology, and unusual words, etc.

• On the Translation page, add your notes to the Guidance for Translator field:

• We do not accept attachments on the Guidance for Translator field. So if you have a file and wish to send it to the translator (for example, a glossary of translated terms), you can make it available online, using services like Google Drive, Dropbox, Hightail, etc. Publish the file as "public" and/or "unlisted". Then paste the URL to your file in the Guidance field, and explain what it pertains to.

Important Notes:

• For translation purposes, speaker IDs are always in the >> Speech or >> Pat: Speech format.
