RE: We Laugh...

Yes, most of the time we are at the mercy of the translators. It can create some misunderstanding for certain things. Like how I sometimes watch dramas on mute. The person greeted her mother-in-law as 'auntie' or 'mrs' in the subtitle when she in fact said 'mother' in her own launguage. So, the dynamic of their relationship seems shifted because of the inaccurate translation. If I didn't rewind and turn on the sound, I would assume that she was being disrespectful or something

Sort:  

There’s a limit on the number of words in subtitles. It’s more of a general summary, and the automatic subtitles generated by bots are absolutely dreadful. YouTube is really bad. Often, not a single word of what’s being said is correct. This makes learning languages increasingly difficult.

This BOOMING vote is yours and well deserved!

Yes, the CC function in Youtube is just so awful. They don't make sense at all and it's so frustrating. I'm supposed to watch anime there to wind down, but it stressed me out because of that. LOL

Even the subtitle team in my country more than 30 years ago were better than that.
