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.
Das ist beeindruckend genug :)
tl.: That’s impressive enough :)
No English, Spanish or Chinese? Hmm
Too bad Hindi isn’t listed. I’ve found many a “Hearing Impaired” subtitle stream listed as such.
Just learn Macedonian
That’s your answer to everything!
Еј, што не е во ред со македонскиот?
It’s so weird how it’s almost intelligible to Russian lol
…maybe? 🤷
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 🤷
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.
I’d believe the biggest (excluding English) DLC unlocks are:
Chinese (dunno which dialect/version of it. Mandarin?)
Japanese
Portuguese
Spanish
And maybe some other overarching language that have commonalities with other language like a slavic language (afaik polish shares some words with russian or croatian?)
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.
It could be worse. You could speak a minority language. Then this shit stops being “mildly infuriating” to become “frankly depressing”.
True.
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…

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.
If the audio is English, you can expect the English text stream to be called “closed captions”
For anyone who wants to know the difference between these terms:
- subtitles - just includes the dialogue
- captions - also includes description of other sounds
- closed - text is stored separately from the video, and can turn on and off while watching
- open - text is part of the video image itself
You can include this one too:
- forced - only includes subtitles for speech not in the main language (e.g. Vulcan speech is subtitled but English is not in Star Trek)
