Article Lost in Translation: Drama Titles That Steer You in the Wrong Direction
as someone who is planning to study linguistics in the future + is currently working as a subtitler/trainee translator…
Viki translations are much better than Netflix translations. I find the Viki translators will often give background information on certain cultural aspects of a scene that international audiences may not fully understand. Netflix translations are short and not always fully on point. I assumed Netflix tries to keep it's translations short for the USA audiences since most of them don't like to read subtitles. So, a shoutout to you Viki translators, you go above and beyond, and you are all volunteers to boot! 😍
