TED Translators

TED Translators are members of TED Community, just like you, who also spread the ideas by making them available in their local languages. This guide is meant for TEDx organizers who would like to appreciate TED translators and assist them in their mission to promote ideas cross-culturally and across languages.

What you can do with your team only?

You can do a lot!

Before the event:

  1. Offer a few tickets to TED translators from your local community, you can find them here: (by how active they were in the project)

and here: (geotagged)

During the event:

  1. Show the What is TEDx? video with subtitles - TED Translators created them so that even people who don't speak English so well can understand the meaning, and so that you make the distinction between TED and TEDx clear to everyone. This video is available here:
  2. When you show TED talks (which is part of the license agreeement) show them with your local language subtitles. (They are avialable for almost every TED talk)
  3. Show the "Why I translate TED talks" video available here and explain from the stage that the subtitles they saw were created by TED Translators - a community anyone can join.

After the event:

  1. Post a link on your Facebook or Twitter wall to the "How to sign up" video

What you can do with the help of an active TED translator?
