Whilst this is good, as long as it is an option and the user still has the choice to have the original language with subtitles then great. Many enjoy films in other languages they don't fully understand for many reasons, learning the language, nuance of the language and tonality, many things. After all, a Shakespeare love scene in Klingon is just not going to cut the ambience like many other languages.
But one thing that bugs me, why is it that even today - we have to have programs with a hard-overlay of sign language interpreter in a you have it if you want it or not and the selection is limited. For those who depend upon such sign language, wouldn't it be great if they could watch anything and some AI would do the sign language for them. You would of thought that such a task would be easy, and the market is there but yet, it seems to elude us.
So my hope is that whilst this is useful, it may well open up avenues like the above in which these tools can be leveraged in more practical ways for a group of users who in effect have what they can and can not enjoy, somewhat overly limited as they are at the mercy and whims of the broadcasters who in many instances, only do them to quota tick some regulation put in place to at least not totally shut out a group of people who can't hear at all.
