Also the Malay subtitles were INCREDIBLE. it just sucks that we still don't really preserve them in any home releases (I believe Netflix/otherwise Malay translations are handled by their own contracts. I'd check with this one down the line if not for the fact I'd have to pay for d+). The 80s/90s era of horrible subs because the contracts used to come out of Hong Kong is definitively over.

“Classically it would be a visualisation, where people see subtitles in their mind’s eye, but there is a lot of variation in how this appears”

Taking a _slight*_ detour from C-drama to watch the Apothecary Diaries, and this is exactly how you should subtitle a moping brat. (Lord Jinshi)

(*The manga/anime is set in ~Ming China, which from my perspective is like if I'd put a story in the exotic 17thC Oslo, Norway. Still enjoyable enough for me to revive my Crunchyroll subscription.)

The thing is, the literal translation of "pence", the plural of "penny", is "penises".

So don't do it! 😅 Just keep it as is.

➡ Jeremy Clarkson and his buddies are a handful.

➡ I learned a great deal of farming terminology.

➡ I need to allow myself time to grieve when I watch something that saddens me.

Do you allow yourself to feel sad when working on a heavy-subject translation?

Oh, Dexter subtitler, you disappoint me so. If it had been a pop song, you would have noted the name of the song and the artist, But Miles Davis’s “So What”— one of the most important songs in all of jazz? One of the great opening tunes on any record, period? It is reduced to “Light jazz music playing.” *sigh*

I get that not everyone's musical backgrounds are as wide my own, but jeez, have a little curiosity... It is your job, after all.

Someone seriously needs to sit #Instagram and #TikTok creators down and teach them how to make proper #subtitles.

Yes, I’m sure your “rapidly flash one word at a time” style of #subtitling feels very hip, fast-paced and dynamic, but it’s also practically unreadable and immensely distracting from your actual #video.

You may not find my name attached to any specific brand or product, but that doesn't bother me since I don't rely on name-dropping.

I'm one of several service providers who work behind the scenes, thanks to non-disclosure agreements — and I'm actually okay with that: antonimaroto.com/post/messenge

So recently, I fired one of my #subtitling customers, a major US #streaming platform (that must remain unnamed because NDA). Why? A fatally flawed style guide, a QA process purely based on metrics, and a 100% top-down organisation with *zero* processes in place for #KnowledgeSharing or supplying feedback.

If that's how you're running a business in a creative industry, don't be surprised if you're having a hard time finding or retaining skilled workers. I'm just saying.

@KittenInACave @BongoMcnulty that's because #subtitles are more traditional in the #USA - in fact the US doesn't have #Teletext because that bandwith was allocated for the mandatory #subtitling feature courtesy of the ADA...

Today I am #subtitling officially the worst film I have seen in my career to date. The writing is horrible, the characters are unlikable and the plot makes no sense. It's not even funny-bad, it's just bad.

Today is going to be a very long day. Send help and/or vibes. :-|
