Subtitling is the process of displaying text on a screen to translate or transcribe spoken dialogue in films, television shows, or videos. This text appears at the bottom of the screen, allowing viewers to understand the content in their preferred language or to follow along with the dialogue. Subtitles can also provide information about sound effects or music, enhancing the viewing experience. Subtitling is different from closed captioning, which includes additional information for the hearing impaired, such as speaker identification and sound descriptions. Subtitles are often created by professional translators or subtitlers who ensure that the text is accurate and synchronized with the audio.
