Come on where is your sense of adventure!? Go for Hungarian, you might learn something.
Yes, a new way to be distracted, frustrated, and utterly mystified.
If I wanted that, I’d just watch the news in my own native language or English 🤷
No? Hmmm Norwegian (Bokmål) then?
Would understand what everyone’s saying just fine, but would still be distracted by every minor mistranslation lol
I dipped my toe into learning a bit of Polish which is considered damn hard but still not as hard as Hungarian. I noped out after a few weeks, even though I would still love to be able to speak it. I can’t even imagine how much of a pain it could be learning the top5-10 hardest languages like Hungarian.
And, as the LanguageSimp puts it: there’s not much DLC that you can unlock with it.
And still never once did you stop and ask whether it’s you who speaks the wrong language.
I read 3 of the available languages fluently, that’s not the issue.
The issue is that I’m not fluent in not missing things and having the exact spoken words to read as I hear them helps my ADHD-riddled mind immensely.
Damn, that’s impressive! What languages do you know, if it’s not too invasive?
It’s less impressive than it sounds, since it’s the Scandinavian ones (Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish) , which are very similar to each other lol.
Other than that, im fluent in English, understand a good deal German (especially written, when given ample time), and remember a little bit of Spanish from school heh.
It could be worse. You could speak a minority language. Then this shit stops being “mildly infuriating” to become “frankly depressing”.
True.
What service are you using that doesn’t offer English subtitles?
Max. They have some truly great content (along with a lot of bad, but whatevs), but they’re REALLY bad at every other part of the whole streaming service thing:
Their player sucks, their selection of sub languages seems more or less random at times, their CC subs are so badly formatted and synced that they’re literally worse than useless, and they keep recommending I watch the Bill Maher excrement every time I finish watching the latest episode of the excellent Last Week Tonight, with no option to block his smug face from my UI in any way.
I believe Bill Maher could suck the fun out of a bouncy castle by his mere presence.
I believe you’re absolutely right.
If the audio is English, you can expect the English text stream to be called “closed captions”
Usually not but sometimes yeah. Trouble is that, even IF English (CC) had been available, the format and sync alone of Max closed captioning is so bad that It’s literally worse than useless.
I’ll probably see if I can’t find the show with English subs on less official channels, once I’m not too busy complaining about Max sucking to watch lol
Have you tried opensubtitles.org? Or any torrent tracker?
Yeah, when downloading or streaming unofficially, I always look for the torrent or streaming site that has subs when possible.
Just pretty damn annoying that a supposedly professional streaming site that charges a subscription fee won’t even provide same-language subs for some of the shows!
And don’t even get me started about how often the hypersmug face of Bill Maher shows up in their recommendations with no “don’t show again” option🤦
Don’t 👏 give 👏 them 👏 your 👏 money 👏 then

No English, Spanish or Chinese? Hmm

I have ADHD and need the subtitles to not miss anything and if they’re not in the same language as the show, I get distracted by imprecise translations.
And yeah, I can read 3 of them fluently too (Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish).
I’m not some monolingual American or whatever you seem to have imagined.

Calling a language useless just because you don’t understand it has to be the most retarded take I’ve ever heard.
! Защо си направи труда да преведеш това, нали беше безполезен? !<
If you don’t understand it, isn’t it useless to you???
Also. Welcome to the fucking internet where not everything needs to be 100% serious.
Having watched the Muppets, swedish isn’t too far off, right?
Speaking as someone culturally obligated to make fun of Sweden and Swedes? Sure!
Speaking in any other capacity, though? Not quite 😄
Are you looking for English or Spanish?
English. I have ADHD and reading the same words that I’m hearing helps me not get distracted and miss stuff, whereas even small mistranslations into another language I understand is itself a distraction…
Yeah i get that reading the subs really helps with focus. It’s even the meta in shorts now to retain attention.
My wife also has ADHD and says that watching stuff at 1.5x or 2x helps.
Ha you moved, gottem!
Yeah i get that reading the subs really helps with focus. It’s even the meta in shorts now to retain attention.
Somebody help me with a joke about a Czech mark
Isn’t it enough that you swindle the people of Czechia, you have to individually mock them? 😉
I find Macedonian is close enough to English that I can get by /s
Do you need subtitles because that person on the couch is playing Wonderwall?
That’s a pirate on the deck of a ship but yeah, if someone on Our Flag Means Death starts playing everyone’s favorite party song, I’m gonna want subs for that too 😄
