HOW TO DO WITH SUBTITLING?

WHAT ARE SUBTITLES?

Subtitles are derived from either a transcript or screenplay of the dialog or commentary in films, television programs, video games, and the like, usually displayed at the bottom of the screen. They can either be a form of written translation of a dialog in a foreign language, or a written rendering of the dialog in the same language.

Subtitles are also used for description of the audio content for the deaf and the hard of hearing, beyond the dialogues, e.g. the background noises, musical content, etc.
