I noticed your reblog of @tortibomb's post on the subtitle team at Viki for Until We Meet Again. I've watched Until We Meet Again on WabiSabi's YouTube channel twice. If I were to watch it again would it make sense to watch Viki's version so I get their subtitles? Would there be any advantage to get a different subtitle team's perspective?
For clarification, I use English subtitles, and I see it's still available on YouTube.
Yes! Definitely watch both versions!
Viki's subs using full teams (most of the time), because they are done by committee these tend to be slightly more correct and consistent (but not as elegant or poetical as a single translators POV). They are interesting because they come from a group think perspective. Even if they can be kind of... formal.
It's like the difference between accuracy and precision.
In house (like Wabi Sabi and GMMTV) and Gaga seem to be just one person (with maybe an editor or two).
With language (and linguistics) + translation there often is a lot of grey space to make judgement calls and no exact this = that, so it's really fun to see how a different voice or voices handles the same subject matter.
Also it'll give you a greater understanding of Thai, and perhaps the narrative, too. Or you'll learn your own biases about what you like translated and in what way. (Like I hate it when phi is translated as bro.)
I adore it when a Japanese and Taiwanese shows are airing on both Viki & Gaga in particular because the subs are so wildly varied. I like to watch both. Sometimes back to back.
I know I'm a monster.
But it's sooooo fascinating, especially considering the history of the relationship between the 2 countries, and the parent companies of the streaming platforms in play. (Gaga = Taiwan, Viki = Japan)
