Comic​ ​Con​ ​Portugal​ ​is​ ​the​ ​main​ ​and​ ​most​ ​famous​ ​Pop​ ​culture​ ​event​ ​in​ ​Portugal.​ ​It took​ ​place​ ​during​ ​late​ ​December​ ​of​ ​2016​ ​for​ ​four​ ​days.​ ​And​ ​the​ ​report​ ​we​ ​are​ ​presenting​ ​you​ ​is one​ ​done​ ​by​ ​RTP​ ​Arena,​ ​in​ ​which​ ​various​ ​visitors​ ​were​ ​interviewed​ ​during​ ​the​ ​event commenting​ ​about​ ​their​ ​current​ ​opinions​ ​of​ ​the​ ​newest​ ​edition,​ ​particularly​ ​on​ ​cosplays.

Translating​ ​this​ ​report,​ ​we​ ​noticed​ ​that​ ​our​ ​main​ ​difficulty​ ​laid​ ​in​ ​understanding​ ​each​ ​word pronounced,​ ​most​ ​frequently,​ ​by​ ​the​ ​visitors​ ​and​ ​more​ ​specifically​ ​when​ ​they​ ​said​ ​a​ ​character names,​ ​which​ ​demanded​ ​some​ ​research​ ​or​ ​when​ ​they​ ​talked​ ​too​ ​fast​ ​or​ ​in​ ​a​ ​low​ ​key,​ ​which made​ ​the​ ​transcription​ ​a​ ​more​ ​challenging​ ​task.​ ​However,​ ​this​ ​was​ ​not​ ​the​ ​only​ ​challenge​ ​we faced​ ​while​ ​translating,​ ​the​ ​opinions​ ​given​ ​and​ ​the​ ​statements​ ​made​ ​were​ ​sometimes​ ​very vague​ ​and​ ​,given​ ​that​ ​it​ ​was​ ​in​ ​a​ ​context​ ​of​ ​an​ ​interview,​ ​there​ ​were​ ​some​ ​grammatical/speech errors​ ​which​ ​made​ ​the​ ​translated​ ​material​ ​sound​ ​ludicrous.

Overall,​ ​given​ ​the​ ​simplistic​ ​vocabulary​ ​and​ ​the​ ​short​ ​length​ ​of​ ​the​ ​report,​ ​it​ ​wasn’t​ ​the​ ​most challenging​ ​of​ ​tasks​ ​and​ ​made​ ​us​ ​improve​ ​as​ ​translators​ ​in​ ​the​ ​sense​ ​that​ ​we​ ​were​ ​faced​ ​with the​ ​challenges​ ​of​ ​subtitling​ ​a​ ​video​ ​and​ ​making​ ​its​ ​transcription.
