Hey Catherine,
So many interesting topics to read… (so little time!)
Once again, thanks a lot for taking the time to compile this list — and for including our post!
I’m also glad to see “Video game subtitles: what movies can teach us”, which is based on the first article my business partner and I wrote for the ATA Chronicle.
Have a great week!
Bianca
