Follow the collaborative process that transformed a sensitive 3-hour Portuguese audio into an impactful Tagalog translation.
The journey began with an inquiry from a prospective client (details anonymized for confidentiality) seeking translation services for a podcast.
To understand the project's scope, the client shared the source material – a ~3-hour live Portuguese podcast episode featuring sensitive testimonies from ex-members of MCGI in Brazil ("Por que saí do MIDI" - Ep. 324).
We discussed the specifics: only the Portuguese segments needed translation, and timestamps would be included for clarity. Given the length and my existing commitments, an estimated timeframe of 1-2 weeks was proposed. A project-based fee (equivalent to approx. 1000 PHP) was agreed upon, with a 50% downpayment to initiate the work.
The core of the project involved careful listening to capture the precise meaning, emotional tone, and cultural nuances. This was followed by accurate transcription of the Portuguese segments and then a culturally-aware Tagalog translation. The work was done progressively, with an update shared with the client part-way through.
