Western Sydney U students in the masters of interpreting and translation are subtitling The Handmaids Tale in Mandarin, as part of their course. Their work is now screening on SBS In Demand, with series two of the series ready to run with subtitles from its April 26 launch.
A series about an authoritarian regime which tells women what they can do with their own bodies – it won’t take many subtitles for a Mandarin audience to work that out.
