I am a sub translator, who creates hungarian subtitles either by hearing or by translating english/german subtitles.
There is this "Request a subtitle" part of OpenSubtitles, where people can make requests for movies being subtitled in a particular language, right?
Now I as a translator can see the list of people, who asked for a movie, but that's it.
If I decide to do the work, I can not signal those users that I am willing to work on it and they can expect it in a few days.
I just start to work.
Now when I'm finished and I uploaded my work, those people will never know, if they don't search for it every now and then.
(I assume, there is no email sent or something to those users, when a subtitle is available to their requests)
So, what I would like to see is:
A button labeled "In Progress" which I as a sub translator can push to signal the users that somebody started to work on it.
Then those users would get some notification, so they know, that it is being worked on.
When I uploaded the subtitle, I could push a button there labeled "Subtitle uploaded" or something like that and that would again notify the users, that they can look for the requested subtitle.
I think, this would add a very beloved feature to the site and would actually give a sense to those requests.
What do you think, OpenSubtitle coding guys?
