How to make a Subtitles request

Mon Jan 31, 2011 11:00 am

Hello there. Can anyone tell me how I request a subtitle for a TV EPISODE? When I try to complete the request form search does not find an IMDB number (whih seems to be a key requirement for any request). Hope you can explain.

Why don't you go and check number from imdb? I think that's easiest way to solve the problem.

Hi many thanks. When I first searched IMDB I could not see the IMDB ID for the episode. I tried the "ttxxxxxx" number of the URL page and bingo - the request system used it. I must say it is not very obvious ( to a first time usesr) where the IMDB number is!
As I am new to Opensubtitles, how likely is my request being successful? Here in the UK, the BBC only showed a couple of episodes (Il Commissario Montalbano) but that was enough to get me hooked. I can download most of the episodes but unfortunately they do not come wioth subtitles.
Thanks again for your response which got me searching in the right direction.
