text of speech on screen
Words at the bottom of a movie or video that show what people say, often in another language.
Pola penggunaan:
to watch [something] with [language] subtitles
Kesalahan umum:
Learners sometimes confuse 'subtitles' with 'dubbing'. 'Subtitles' are written words on the screen, while 'dubbing' is replacing the original speech with a different recorded voice in another language.
Sinonim
captions (Often used for same-language onscreen text, especially for accessibility; in some regions it overlaps with 'subtitles'.)
|
closed captions (More technical; usually refers to subtitles that include sound effects and are made for deaf or hard-of-hearing viewers.)

to add subtitles to video
To put the spoken words of a movie or video on the screen as text, usually in another language.
Pola penggunaan:
to subtitle [a film / video] (in [language])
Kesalahan umum:
Learners sometimes say *'translate subtitles a film'* instead of 'subtitle a film'. The verb 'subtitle' already includes the idea of translating and adding text, so say 'subtitle a film', not 'translate subtitles a film'.
Sinonim
caption (In video production contexts, 'caption' can mean to provide onscreen text, but it is more associated with accessibility features.)
|
translate (Focuses on changing the language; does not specifically mean adding text to a screen.)

secondary, explanatory title line
Extra words under the main title of a book, film, or article that give more information about it.
Pola penggunaan:
the subtitle '[phrase]' of [a book / film]
Kesalahan umum:

Sinonim
tagline (Often more promotional or catchy, especially for movies and advertising, rather than purely descriptive.)
|
strapline (Mainly British English; similar to 'tagline' and sometimes used like a subtitle in marketing contexts.)
