Joker Out hosted two co-creators of the group that translates their content into different languages.

During the conversation, the two of them also mentioned how much work goes into the project and the challenges of translating slang.

For the 9th episode of their podcast, Joker Out invited fans Anja and Breda. They are part of the Joker Out Subs community, where fans of the band translate the group's songs, interviews and video content into different languages on social media.

In 2023, Anja posted the first Joker Out video with English subtitles on TikTok. Today, Joker Out Subs consists of more than 60 fans from around the world who regularly translate their songs, interviews and video content into different languages. They already have 20,000 followers on social media and have provided translations for several hundred different Joker Out-related videos. "This is the coolest project we know of that has emerged in recent years. It's incredible how many people you've enabled to enjoy our content," said frontman Bojan Cvjetićanin.

"For me, it all started when you went to Eurovision. I had heard of you before then, but I hardly knew any of your songs. After Mission Liverpool, I listened to a few of them and liked them, especially 'Tokio'. That's when I started following you," admitted Anja, who noticed how rapidly their fanbase grew during the music competition. "I've been part of fan communities before, but I'd never seen anything like this happen for a Slovenian public figure," said the Slovenian.

She decided to post a translation on TikTok of part of their concert at Cvetličarna, in which the singer explained how the song 'Ne govoriva več o tem' was created. Within two days, the video had gained half a million views, and several international commenters expressed a desire to learn more about the band. She and a friend, whom she had met online through their shared enthusiasm for Joker Out, then decided to try translating the entire Cvetličarna performance. As this was a considerable undertaking, they invited Slovenians they had found in the comments to join the project.

"I've never seen this much interest in learning Slovenian, especially because of a band. I found it incredible," she shared. She added that the Joker Out Subs project then began to expand, and Breda also became part of the group. "She sent me a message asking if I wanted to join. She said the work would take five minutes a week, which is the biggest lie in the world," Breda admitted with a laugh, adding that they invest a great deal of effort into translation work.

"I thought it would be like it was during my studies, but it wasn't. A lot of slang and dialect words have to be translated into English, which can be very difficult at times," she explained, adding that discussions often take place among the members about how to translate a Slovenian expression into English.
