Hello colleagues,

I have a new enquiry for direct translation from audio.
Maybe it's a silly question but can someone explain what exactly "direct translation" means and what is expected from the translator.
Thank you in advance :) [/quote]

It's a reasonable question. "Direct translation" is translation directly from the soundtrack of a video or audio file — that is, without a transcript or a dialogue list. [/quote]

Thank you for answering, Max.
Now the enquiry makes sense :)
