Translators signature (credits) missing in subtitle

[1976marmar]

Question for administration of this site:
Hi. I am new to this site. Someone uploaded my subtitles (Croatian language) from [URL removed by SmallBrother], TV Show: Sirens 2014, on this page and erased all my signatures. Is this normal policy of this page to erase translators signature or someone did this before upload?

I doubt that your subtitle was taken from the URL you gave but never mind.

Is this normal policy of this page to erase translators signature or someone did this before upload?

This is definitely not normal policy of OpenSubtitles.org - on the contrary, general policy is that credits should always remain.

For this case: You can report the subtitles with missing credits. How to do this, see viewtopic.php?f=1&t=2595
For the future: Upload your subtitles including credits to OpenSubtitles.org by yourself, before someone else does it.

I have some questions concerning credits.

First of all, is there a preferred/recommended way to write them? Beginning/end, duration, etc.?

Sometimes I forget to write them. what then?

What if I get somebody else's work and make some changes? Could I remove the original author if they are very big?

Well, I'll give my opinion.

It does not matter much that is at the beginning or end, as long the credits are in the subtitle..
There are translators who only write the credits at the end.
There are others that write in the beginning and at the end.

Duration, It depends on each translator.
For example in the translations that i do, the duration of the line of the credits It is 5 seconds.

No matter that many are the changes you have made in the subtitle.
I think the original credits should always be kept.

Keep the original credits and add your credits.

Agreed with what Funchalense wrote. In addition, credits should always remain untouched, and this applies to credits for translation, but also for editing or anything else that is inside the subs.

What do you mean "forget to write"? The idea is not to DELETE or CHANGE credits, but if they are not present in the subs in the first place, then what can you do, how can you know?

It is a little hard to explain. In short that's because now I almost never write the SRT directly. I write some
XML and then generate the SRT and sometimes strange things happen in this conversion process :-)
Perhaps I should check.
