OpenSubtitles forum

I noticed there are for Chinese already Chinese simplified, Chinese Traditional and Chinese Bilingual available.
Recently I also acquired Cantonese subtitles (mainly used in Hong Kong), also traditional Chinese, but partly different symbols.
Language Codes:
Chinese Simplified: zh-Hans
Chinese Traditional (Taiwan): zh-Hant.
Chinese Traditional (Hong Kong): yue-Hant
Possible to add these also? So far I could contribute 2 subtitles for this, maybe there would be more in the future.

Cheers

Hi

if you have just 2 subtitles in my opinion is not worth it. Just upload it Under Traditional Chinese and add the info in description box.

I was just about to clarify my suggestion then I noticed, on the main-page, under advanced search, there is Cantonese as selection available.
But for uploading the language, there is no selection.for Cantonese.
So even I would upload for Chinese Traditional, it won't show up, when a user selects Cantonese.

Cheers

Hi

in advanced search, it is regarding MOVIE. So if in movie they speak Cantonese, it will be filtered, it have nothing to do with subtitles.
it is in "movie" section and it is called "Movie language:"

So it is not about subtitle language.

I second this - Yue (or Cantonese) is 86M speakers and their written language is similar to traditional but not identical (different pronunciation and different words and phrases).

I see HK often enough as distinctive sub tracks. And linguistic gems like this (tongue in cheek) totally justify the presence of yue/cantonese in the selection menu:

Joking aside, I really think it would suit OS to honour this language with its own checkbox.

ok I added it there, lets see if there will be some uploads

zhc, zc, Chinese (Cantonese)

Thank you <3

I will recheck my ups (and look for more: I think this is a perfect reason to sieve through my Shaw Brothers and other HK movies).

Happy weekend
