Translating Chitrangada into different languages
In my previous post, I included the English trailer for Chitrangada. Here is the Spanish version of it:
And here is the French version:
For Shyama, the first film we made in what has become the Tagore dance film trilogy, various friends helped to translate our English subtitles into French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish and, more recently, Arabic. These different translations are currently only available on the DVD. However, we will gradually make the complete versions of Shyama in these languages available through Distrify.
For Chitrangada, we have published this 36-second trailer on the dotsub.com platform with a transcript of the English captions. We’ve also added the French and Spanish captions. Anyone can now add translations in other languages.
If you register or login on dotsub.com and choose a language to ‘Translate into’, you will see that there are 11 short captions in the trailer. So if you know a language for which the captions haven’t already been translated, it would help us to spread the word about Chitrangada and Tagore if you could insert the translations of the captions into that language. We’d be happy to give you a credit in the film if you do so.
This would also show us which language versions of Chitrangada you think we should try to create before the global premiere on 23/24 September.
