Are you using sub title on your TV?

Post by Guest »

I have been using it for 15 years and I don’t really know how it works but it’s insane the way it can translate sometimes and the worst translator is from our national TV.
I’ll try to show you some of it but it’s in French.

the only times that i use Subs is when i am watching something that is in another lang.. and its usually a DVD or a AVI with the Subs hardcoded in.

I have a habbit of sticking subtitles on, so I can be lazy / have the volume low.

The reason Scandinavian and Dutch people generally speak English very well is that foreign shows always are subtitled instead of dubbed here.

I cant watch TV or DVD without subs on anymore, it just feels odd, i need them on. Its like i'm missing a part of the film if i dont have them on for some reason.

most stuff shown on dutchee teevee has subs (since dutch programs suck :) ).
when i watch a movie i usually turn english subs on.. like it better that way, just in case theres a loud noise while something important is being said or whatever.
i want my subs to be litterally though, not paraphrased. i hate that

I remember watching that Jesus Christ movie and trying to put it to english.
There was no fucking way I was going to watch a movie while having to read WTF they were saying.

I pretty much always have subtitles on, just because it is easier to follow the dialog at low volumes.

i usually leave them on cause of low volume, but I like reading sometimes cause I'm retarded and when it comes to some words (usually names) it's nice to have them in writing,

the exact same reason I have them on at all times :)

Same here. If I'm watching something and I can't hear the dialog I turn the fucking volume up...if it's late enough that loud noises would annoy the neighbors then I watch it another time.

And how does reading subtitles make you lazy? Does it take that much effort for you to hear things?

I watch all my movies in french if I can, and sub title them in english, since my soon to be wife is french.

Now that would be a good reason to use them. :icon14:

I have it setup the same as Tormentius when the tv is in mute subtitles are turned on. However I have little to no use for subtitles, unless I'm watching a foreign film.

Clever and nice move of you for your soon to be wife. Now, you should try to post in a french forum. Challenging, hey! Well if I can make it here you can make it too....Well, I am still struggling after more than 16 months but I am sure taht I will make it.

The only downside to keeping subs on all the time is they can occasionally obscure boobies :(

I find them distracting. I'll be reading them instead of paying attention to what's going on on the screen.
