Challenges of Subtitling and Dubbing
Watching content in a foreign language presents challenges, primarily with subtitles and traditional dubbing. Subtitles can take attention away from the visual action, causing viewers to miss crucial plot points, while dubbing often suffers from inaccurate translations and poor lip-syncing. The traditional dubbing approach can distort the original emotional impact of a film, making it feel disconnected from the intended performance. These issues highlight the need for innovative solutions to ensure that global audiences can enjoy films authentically.
