Virtual Service: TED Translator

Step #1

Visit TED's website to learn more about this service opportunity.

TED Translators are a global community of volunteers who subtitle TED Talks, and enable the inspiring ideas in them to crisscross languages and borders.

Step #2

Submit a Translator & Transcriber Application.

Things to Keep in Mind:

Volunteer translators are expected to be fluent in both source and target languages. Volunteer transcribers should be fluent in the transcription language.

Step #3

Get prepared!

While you wait for a response from the TED Team, begin reading though the guidelines & watching the TED subtitling tutorials on the TED website.
