This paper is related to the TADS (Translation of Audio Description Scripts) project, designed by a team of French and German researchers from Universität Hildesheim and Sorbonne Université. It focuses on the purpose and the features of the French-German TVseriesAD corpus. In our presentation, we outline the role this corpus is supposed to play for the development of a technology-assisted translation method for audio description scripts. With the help of one of our pilot datasets, the Buettenwarder subcorpus, we will demonstrate the way our complete data set will be tagged, and we will explain what sort of items can be searched in the corpus.
