  • Thanks a bunch, Christopher! This evening I got waylaid because there was Fellini's "La Strada" on Arte TV (appallingly subtitled unfortunately). Then when the movie was finished, I thought I'd go on with these subtitles and you had already finished them. What a great surprise!

  • Thank you you both Almansi and Christopher! Wonderful!

    Just ask for one more favor:) Is it possible to set the English subtitle as Original so that translations in other languages do not have to sync again? At the moment when I choose to create Vietnamese subtitle, it doesnt have the box Translated from..
