The challenge
The web series Vozes Locais (Local Voices), from GIZ's Local Protected Areas project, gives voice to representatives of municipalities in Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru to tell what they have done for nature conservation. To circulate in the four countries and at international forums, the videos needed versions in three languages.
What we did
What we delivered
- Translation into English and Spanish
- Subtitles in .srt files
- Videos with subtitles in all three languages
We handled the English and Spanish translation and the subtitling of the episode on Conceição do Mato Dentro (MG), which shows the municipal environmental fund financed by mining offsets and the deliberative councils of the municipal protected areas.
We delivered subtitles as .srt files and burned into the video, in all three languages, reviewed by the client.
“Only those who are inside it, the communities that live that territory, can have a better view of their own territory.”
