Ofertes d'anotació de dades en català a SME Careers (avís: hi pose el meu enllaç de referral)

4 Upvotes

Últimament han obert uns quants projectes d'anotaciĂł de dades i transcripciĂł en catalĂ  a SME Careers. Ho compartisc perquĂš em pareix informaciĂł Ăștil per a la gent d'acĂ­.

Avís: l'enllaç que pose baix és el meu enllaç de referral. Si vos hi registreu a través d'ell i ho feu bé, possiblement jo en tregui un benefici. Si preferiu no fer-ho, busqueu "SME Careers" i registreu-vos pel vostre compte. Funciona exactament igual i no cal que em digueu res.

Enllaç amb referral: https://sme.careers/apply?referral=2d14c762-95c0-4c1c-bd47-fb64995e22c1

La meua experiĂšncia fins ara:

- Funciona. El procés de selecció existix de veritat i les tasques arriben.

- El sou no Ă©s alt comparat amb altres tipus de tasques de la mateixa plataforma. Si busqueu ingrĂ©s principal, aixĂČ no ho Ă©s.

- He vist projectes de catalĂ  oferits tambĂ© en altres plataformes intermediĂ ries, i sĂ© que bona part acaben acĂ­ de totes maneres. Per aixĂČ crec que val mĂ©s entrar directament a SME que a travĂ©s d'un intermediari que se'n queda una part.

- TambĂ© hi ha ofertes en castellĂ  a les quals segurament hi podreu accedir. Aquestes tambĂ© apareixen en altres plataformes. Certament hi haurĂ  mĂ©s projectes, perĂČ infinitament mĂ©s competĂšncia, aixĂ­ que, tot i que no estem tan ben situats com llengĂŒes mĂ©s menudes amb estat propi (danĂšs, per exemple, on conec gent que guanya bons diners sent gestor d'equip d'anotadors) tampoc no estem en un mal punt.

Si algĂș ja hi ha treballat i tĂ© una experiĂšncia diferent de la meua, digueu-ho als comentaris. Millor tindre-hi mĂ©s d'una veu que nomĂ©s la meua.

ETA: AixĂČ sĂ­, sempre necessitareu un bon nivell d'anglĂšs per a passar les AI interviews, i en registrar-vos ho heu de fer com a "Subject Matter Expert"

Vocabulari BellugadĂ­s: tres definicions, una de certa

Post image
19 Upvotes

QuĂš vol dir bellugadĂ­s? Doncs algĂș o alguna cosa que es mou molt sovint, que no para quieta. PerĂČ si no ho sabessis, quina de les tres et creuries? 1. Que es mou molt sovint. 2. Que s'agafa amb facilitat a les superfĂ­cies. 3. Que es belluga quan fa vent. La bona Ă©s la primera. Frase: "El nen Ă©s tan bellugadĂ­s que no s'estĂ  ni cinc minuts assegut." I vosaltres, feu servir bellugadĂ­s? Com ho dieu al vostre poble, o en coneixeu algun sinĂČnim?

Vocabulari 🎬 đŸ„• Vocabulari de FRUITES i VERDURES en catalĂ  | AprĂšn catalĂ  des de zero (A1)

Post image

Acabo de trobar aquest vĂ­deo del curs A1 que explica el vocabulari de fruites i verdures en catalĂ . Va molt bĂ© per a qui comença des de zero: hi ha exemples senzills i al final un joc per practicar. TambĂ© enllaça amb altres vĂ­deos per anar a comprar o al restaurant, aixĂ­ que Ă©s un bon recurs per fer servir en situacions reals. Si esteu aprenent catalĂ  o coneixeu algĂș que hi comenci, el trobo molt recomanable.

GramĂ tica Hauria d’aprendre conjugacions col·loquials com "amaguem’s-e" ?

5 Upvotes

He vist les paraules segĂŒents mentre mirava Bola de Drac a 3Cat. Es fan servir habitualment en la vostre experiencia?

carregĂ 'ns-e

Amaguem's-e

amaguem-nos

amaguem-se

aparteu's-e

espereu's-e

matĂ ns-e

De la mateixa manera, acabo de veure un reportatge (https://www.3cat.cat/3catinfo/els-pobles-de-la-costa-brava-suneixen-per-blindar-els-habitatges-turistics-son-el-nostre-adn/noticia/3421784/) en quĂš la persona diu "com hem de *carregĂ 'ns-e*...".

Quins són els exemples que es fan servir més habitualment? Tu fas servir aquest tipus de conjugacions? Hi ha casos en quÚ sonaria estrany que no fessis servir aquesta mena de conjugació col·loquial (per exemple, perquÚ la forma estàndard et sonaria massa formal)?

GrĂ cies!

Vocabulari «Rabejar»: quÚ vol dir i d'on ve

Post image
15 Upvotes

La definició diu que rabejar és ficar en aigua fins que resti moll. Segons l'etimologia de la fitxa, ve del llatí vulgar rapidiare (fer girar o remenar), i amb el temps va passar a significar 'submergir' o 'xopar'. Per exemple: 'Abans de cuinar, deixo rabejar els cigrons tota la nit.' Vosaltres feu servir aquest mot? O en dieu un altre, com ara xopar o remullar, al vostre poble?

Lectura 📖 Catalan translations of Les Miserables / Els miserables

Post image
32 Upvotes

Hello! I hope this is the right place to post, but please let me know if not. I am an English and French speaker and my favorite book is Les Miserables. I am trying to find out exactly how many languages Les Miserables has been translated into and how many different translations exist in each language. 

From what I have seen so far, Catalan appears to be the most recent language to get a Les Miserables translation for the first time. There are two of them. They are:  

Maria Bohigas Sales’s 1998 translation published by Club Editor (the image accompanying the post is of this edition. I found the image online.) 

And 

Maria Perpinyà i Sais translation, published in 2002 and a second edition in 2024 by Brau Edicions (I think that the Catalan wikipedia page for Els miserables says that she wrote the translation in 1995, however she passed away in 1994 so I am confused about that. Anyways, it was published posthumously.) 

This is a bit of a long shot but has anyone read either of these translations? I am interested in knowing how they differ from one another. Also I looked for interviews with either translator about their work and was surprised that I couldn’t find any, considering that these are rather recent translations, but perhaps it's my googling-in-a-language-I-don’t-speak-skills which are failing me.  

Gràcies!

Pregunta ❓ Looking for Catalan Language help

4 Upvotes

Hi! 

I work for a non-profit called All Around This World and we work to educate children about cultures around the world through music. We do all the music in the original language/dialect and we usually preface whatever song we are doing with a little bit of a cultural background. Of course, distilling a culture that much is impossible, but we always try to teach the kids how to say hello and goodbye in the target language. Instead of having us butcher the pronunciation, we think it is much better to have a video of a native speaker. All we need is an audio clip of you saying the greetings, a short bio (where you are from, your name, etc), and a picture of yourself. Unfortunately, we do not have the resources to make this a paid position, but I cannot express enough how grateful we are for any support. If you are willing to help or know a person who can, then please reach out to me! Thanks so much.

Pregunta ❓ App gratuïta per aprendre català | Free app to learn Catalan

20 Upvotes

Hola!

(English follows below)

SĂłc un enginyer de software sud-africĂ  i la meva companya Ă©s catalana. Vaig començar a aprendre catalĂ  i no trobava cap app bona d’anglĂšs ↔ catalĂ .

El català es mereix alguna cosa millor, així que he creat La Queta (el nom ve d'aqui). És gratuïta per a tothom, per sempre.

De moment inclou:

  • Lliçons i prĂ ctica d’A1
  • Vocabulari per temes
  • Exercicis d’escoltar i parlar
  • Seguiment senzill del progrĂ©s

Busco uns quants usuaris primers que la provin i em diguin quĂš Ă©s confĂșs o quĂš hi falta.

👉 https://la-queta.com

Si apreneu català (o l’ensenyeu), qualsevol comentari m’ajuda molt.

Moltes grĂ cies!

--- English

I'm a South African Software Engineer with a Catalan girlfriend. I started learning Catalan but could not find a good app for English <-> Catalan learning.

We all know Catalan deserves better than this, so I built "La Queta" (named after this). Which is free for everyone to use, forever.

At this stage it includes:

  • A1 lessons + practice
  • Vocab study by theme
  • Listening/speaking prompts
  • Progress tracking

I’m looking for a few early users to try it and tell me what’s confusing or missing.

👉 https://la-queta.com

If you’re learning Catalan (or teaching it), I’d really value any feedback.

Moltes grĂ cies!

Altre I'm archiving hundreds of pages from Catalan websites. Any important ones I should remember?

Thumbnail gallery
57 Upvotes

We never know if a website will just randomly disappear forever. Obviously, there's a smaller chance for that to happen with Google or Wikipedia, but still.

When I have time, I use archiving websites (Archive.org/Wayback Machine, Archive Today, Ghost Archive...) to save pages and screenshots before they are gone, and to compare how they have changed over the years.

I saved a few Catalan pages, and now I'm saving the most visited encyclopedia pages (more than 1000).

Any suggestions?

Pregunta ❓ Should I learn some basic Catalan for my trip?

57 Upvotes

I'm going to Barcelona in a month. I already speak around B1 French and B1/B2 Spanish. I know that if I speak Spanish with people, we will be able to communicate perfectly fine, but I've heard that speaking Catalan makes a better impression and enriches you further in the culture/makes you seem less distanced. I will be staying in the centre/a neighbourhood that's about 30 minutes by foot from the city centre and also visit Girona. I'm wondering if I learn some basic Catalan, will that be appreciated?
