The linked Netflix support article introduces a new distinction:
English (CC) is described as separate from English; and then, a sentence or two later, they use the phrase “CC/SDH”.
So, Netflix is changing their definition of the word “subtitles” to represent dialogue-only captions, as a distinct thing from CC/SDH “captions” — even though the S in CC/SDH stands for subtitles.
It might be interesting to look to the .SRT file communities and see whether user-produced contributions contain sfx/bgm subtitles or merely dialogue subtitles, as that could reveal a similar shift in definition/usage prior to Netflix’s press release about their own.
- danielbln 2y agoI don't think I've ever seen user supplies SRTs that contains the CC m-style music and sound cues (though they make up for that by including some NordVPN ad at the beginning or end...)
- solardev 2y agoYes... but that isn't new. It's been around for years.
- altairprime 2y agoCorrect. (?)
