But why are the original language subtitles not accurate ? and I am referring even to "simple" local TV series that didn't undergo several rounds of editing.
As part of my Swedish learning I watch a lot of Swedish shows with Swedish subtitles, there are always discrepancies
- elcomet 7y agoIsn't it because subtitles are typed in live? So they have to skip words in order to convey the meaning in time.
- diffeomorphism 7y agoIf there is a script for the movie subtitles will often be identical to the script even if the actors deviated from it. Much simpler and quicker to do than having somebody transcribe everything that was actually said and then having someone watch everything again to make sure it was transcribed correctly.
