Re: Subtitle language: country codes

I don't quite understand your question. You have nl_NL and nl_BE? No problem, that's the purpose. You have language="Dutch" and country="NL" or country="BE" or country="AW" (Aruba, near the coast of Venezuela). Then maybe I misunderstood you. As for actual da...

Re: guidelines for subs

Who am I, but okay, my personal answers and ideas... So, with or without BOM I see advantages in having a BOM and in not having it. Answer: do as you like. Just make sure the BOM is not present atthe start of every line, as happened in one upload a couple of days ago. DIfficult to detect, almost or ...

Re: Subtitle language: country codes

My point is: the "Spanish" of many subtitles sounds very weird to me. It's okay to have these but I'd just like to know in advance. My other point is that I could provide that information. I know my subtitles are es_ES (Spain) but now I can't store it anywhere. So, do I understand well, m...

Re: Subtitle language: country codes

Hector, from the examples you give, I think differences are big enough to maybe do something with it. I don't know about the differences between pt-pt and pt-br, but it may be similar. Same for NL Dutch versus Flamish - mostly no problem to understand, but clearly made by a Dutch or Belgium person. ...

Re: Ik kom hier ook eens kijken...

Even serieus... ik mag hier dus niet vragen of er voor een bepaalde serie een sub in de maak is? Het is toch een forum over subtitles? (...) Kan ik hier misschien een 'normaal' antwoord krijgen? Dit is inderdaad een forum over ondertitels, maar een normaal antwoord (zij het niet precies wat jij ver...

Re: Subtitle language: country codes

A few more languages also have different 'versions'. England/USA, Netherlands/Belgium, Germany/Switzerland, Portugal/Brazil and I am sure a bunch more. Differences vary from minor to completely different words and/or grammar. On OpenSubtitles.org only Portuguese is split (Brazil and Portugal). I don...

Re: SUBTITLE REQUEST - READ FIRST!

I understand - it's not a normal request, but basically for missing parts (another language in your example). We (or rather, the coder) would have to think about how to implement such a thing in the request page. Meanwhile, I think it's not a good idea to have a forum topic dedicated to such cases, ...

Re: How trustworty are the subs on opensubtitles.org?

So, aren't those OCR errors enough reason to mark a subtitle as bad? I think the "bad" mark should be used similar to the decision of an admin to delete or not delete. Different admins have different criteria, but this is how I see it: For OCR errors, it depends on the kind and numbers. T...

Re: How trustworty are the subs on opensubtitles.org?

I don't speak nor write Chinese.
Okay, 3,332,344 subtitles minus 45,991 chinese subs equals 3,286,343 subs to go.

Re: Why can't I add smilies?

Mysterious. I can't find any reason why it occurs only in that section/thread, and only with you. Maybe the forum software is smarter than we think - and it knows there is no reason to smile about kind-of-duplicates and OCR errors :lol: It reminds me of the "Serenity Prayer" of Reinhold Ni...

Re: Why can't I add smilies?

Smilies are enabled all over the forum: board-wide settings, settings of posts, you can even have a smilie in your signature. I see some smilies in your post, I mean as images. So the only thing I can think of, is that it's on your side. Check this setting: User Control Panel > TAB Board Preferences...

Re: How trustworty are the subs on opensubtitles.org?

But give me a well-defined interface. Now, every time I download a file, the first thing for me to do is to detect the encoding and convert. There is a point in for example adding an input field with "encoding", but once again, most people don't know about the concept. So what will happen...
