Viewing the Videos
If you have a fast Internet connection, you can view and play all of the videos at the following link: TRAINING FOR TRANSLATORS VIDEOS (to enter the Showcase, please use the password: translation). This will take you to a page like the image at right with all of the videos. However, if your connection is not fast, or if you will be using the videos in a workshop setting, we STRONGLY recommend downloading them in advance. The best way to do that is to use the individual download links below.
Info about downloading
RESOLUTION: When you click the Download links below, it will give you a choice of resolutions with different file sizes. We do not recommend any of the options below 720p, as the points presented in the PowerPoint might become fuzzy and more difficult to read. If you have a good Internet connection, 1080p is best.
MULTIPLE FILES: If you need to download a number of videos at once (or all of them), you will need to open each link below and click on the Download icon for each video. You CAN have multiple videos downloading at the same time, and you can leave your machine on overnight to get in as many as possible. If you download overnight, make sure to temporarily set the Power & Sleep settings in Windows to “Never” so the computer will not go off during the download time.
PLAN IN ADVANCE: Video files are large, so make sure you plan enough time to download them in advance of a workshop!
If Vimeo is blocked
If you are working in a country where Vimeo is blocked, you can also access the videos on YouTube through the following link: Training Videos on YouTube.
Note: for those working with the deaf, the videos on YouTube contain subtitled captions.
