Come on where is your sense of adventure!? Go for Hungarian, you might learn something.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yes, a new way to be distracted, frustrated, and utterly mystified.

If I wanted that, I'd just watch the news in my own native language or English 🀷

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No? Hmmm Norwegian (BokmΓ₯l) then?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

Would understand what everyone's saying just fine, but would still be distracted by every minor mistranslation lol

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I dipped my toe into learning a bit of Polish which is considered damn hard but still not as hard as Hungarian. I noped out after a few weeks, even though I would still love to be able to speak it. I can't even imagine how much of a pain it could be learning the top5-10 hardest languages like Hungarian.

And, as the LanguageSimp puts it: there's not much DLC that you can unlock with it.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I'd believe the biggest (excluding English) DLC unlocks are:
Chinese (dunno which dialect/version of it. Mandarin?)
Japanese
Portuguese
Spanish
And maybe some other overarching language that have commonalities with other language like a slavic language (afaik polish shares some words with russian or croatian?)

And still never once did you stop and ask whether it's you who speaks the wrong language.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I read 3 of the available languages fluently, that's not the issue.

The issue is that I'm not fluent in not missing things and having the exact spoken words to read as I hear them helps my ADHD-riddled mind immensely.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Damn, that's impressive! What languages do you know, if it's not too invasive?

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's less impressive than it sounds, since it's the Scandinavian ones (Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish) , which are very similar to each other lol.

Other than that, im fluent in English, understand a good deal German (especially written, when given ample time), and remember a little bit of Spanish from school heh.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Das ist beeindruckend genug :)

tl.: That's impressive enough :)

...maybe? 🀷

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

It's so weird how it's almost intelligible to Russian lol

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It could be worse. You could speak a minority language. Then this shit stops being "mildly infuriating" to become "frankly depressing".

What service are you using that doesn't offer English subtitles?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Max. They have some truly great content (along with a lot of bad, but whatevs), but they're REALLY bad at every other part of the whole streaming service thing:

Their player sucks, their selection of sub languages seems more or less random at times, their CC subs are so badly formatted and synced that they're literally worse than useless, and they keep recommending I watch the Bill Maher excrement every time I finish watching the latest episode of the excellent Last Week Tonight, with no option to block his smug face from my UI in any way.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I believe Bill Maher could suck the fun out of a bouncy castle by his mere presence.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

I believe you're absolutely right.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago (2 children)

If the audio is English, you can expect the English text stream to be called "closed captions"

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (3 children)

For anyone who wants to know the difference between these terms:

  • subtitles - just includes the dialogue
  • captions - also includes description of other sounds
  • closed - text is stored separately from the video, and can turn on and off while watching
  • open - text is part of the video image itself
[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

You can include this one too:

  • forced - only includes subtitles for speech not in the main language (e.g. Vulcan speech is subtitled but English is not in Star Trek)
[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Aint "Open" actually burned-in?

Btw: For linebreaks you need to spaces after the Enter

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

That's what burned in means.

I added an extra line break, but it already looked fine in the default webview and in Jerboa. Normally lists don't need line breaks around them.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

What do you call DVD subtitles, which are in some ways closed (can be toggled) but in some ways like open (stored as bitmaps)?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I think that's still closed, just poorly done in a way that isn't very accessible.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Usually not but sometimes yeah. Trouble is that, even IF English (CC) had been available, the format and sync alone of Max closed captioning is so bad that It's literally worse than useless.

I'll probably see if I can't find the show with English subs on less official channels, once I'm not too busy complaining about Max sucking to watch lol

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Have you tried opensubtitles.org? Or any torrent tracker?

Are you looking for English or Spanish?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (4 children)

English. I have ADHD and reading the same words that I'm hearing helps me not get distracted and miss stuff, whereas even small mistranslations into another language I understand is itself a distraction..

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Yeah i get that reading the subs really helps with focus. It's even the meta in shorts now to retain attention.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

My wife also has ADHD and says that watching stuff at 1.5x or 2x helps.

No English, Spanish or Chinese? Hmm

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Having watched the Muppets, swedish isn't too far off, right?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Speaking as someone culturally obligated to make fun of Sweden and Swedes? Sure!

Speaking in any other capacity, though? Not quite πŸ˜„

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Somebody help me with a joke about a Czech mark

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Isn't it enough that you swindle the people of Czechia, you have to individually mock them? πŸ˜‰

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Too bad Hindi isn't listed. I've found many a "Hearing Impaired" subtitle stream listed as such.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That's an actor in the show, not me πŸ˜„
