This is a quick guide on how to correct subtitles that have been uploaded with the wrong IMDb field, language or wrong release/file names etc.
THERE IS A FINNISH VERSION AVAILABLE HERE!
1. Click on the link “Correct subtitles”.
Or "Edit" on top of the picture below if it's your own subtitle.
2. Here you can change the subtitle language, if it is incorrect.
3. Here you can change the IMDb ID of the movie. Copy and paste URL from IMDb site for the correct movie/TV series episode. Example: This: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0030337/?ref_=tt_rec_tt
To this: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0040109/
4. Here you can add/change the release name of the subtitle: Arch.of.Triumph.1948.720p.BluRay.FLAC1.0.x264-DON
5. You can put comments here that all users will be able to see. Like a description of the file or “credit to the original author…” for example.
6. Here you can actually change the file name, or by clicking on “(update) :”, you can upload a corrected and improved version of the subtitle. So no need to delete the previous subtitle and re-upload as a new upload anymore. Note: “(update) :” feature only available if the subtitle is uploaded by you originally, or it can be done by an admin.
7. Correct the FPS (frames per second) of the file from here.
8. If you uploaded a file and weren't logged-in, then here is where your username goes.
9. Select this box if the subtitle is a hearing impaired version (HI).
10. Select this option if the subtitle is for a high definition movie, but this isn’t really necessary.
11. Select this box if the subtitles have been translated from another language using a translator, like google translate (machine translator). Not to be used for manual translations. As per our current rules, these kind of subtitles can also be requested for deletion. Read machine translation rules here.
11a. NOT available in the picture below, but you should see a tab that says: "[Foreign parts only]". Use this option to indicate that the subtitle isn't a full subtitle for the movie, but only contains subtitled parts for a different language to the main onscreen language of the movie. E.g. An English movie that has a few Russian spoken parts in the movie, and the subtitle only has parts for the Russian speech, then the "Foreign parts only" tab should be checked.
12. This box is for personal instructions to the admin. Comment in this box before submitting the report. Other users can't see this comment. Include what you did, why the changes have been requested or why the subtitle should be deleted. Please try to comment in English, as those reports can be dealt with by any admin. Other language comments can take longer for the right admin to come along and verify the changes for acceptance. Simple requests might not require a comment from you, like change in FPS, but a request for deletion will only be accepted if this box is filled. The admin will need to know why. Example: You can include links to the original and stolen files here so the admin can investigate.
13. Select this box if the subtitle should be deleted. Please make sure the “12.” comment box has been filled-in as to why it should be deleted.
14. Click “Report” to send the requested changes to the admin homepage where an admin will view it before accepting the changes. If you have made multiple mistakes on the report form, then click on “Reset” and start again.
Please use this function correctly as per guide above. Thank you.
