Saga Noren Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 (edited) Can someone subtitle the french show Kaboul Kitchen in English? I watched the first two episodes and really liked it and I really want to watch the rest of the show. http://www.addic7ed.com/show/2287 Edited March 29, 2015 by Saga Noren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taytoy Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 @Saga Noren, I'm afraid this will prove to be quite the challenge. French series seldom provide English subtitles, even on DVD. Those previous subs were made from scratch by the now defunct irc.otaku-irc.fr. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saga Noren Posted March 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 @taytoy Is there any other irc group like otaku which can make the subtitles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cafeine Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 On this part of the forum (in addic7ed, in fact), people translate subtitles from other languages (mostly English, but sometime Swedish or Danish ) to French, as they are native French speakers. As well as they may understand and translate English, translation from mother tongue into a target language is a whole different story, even more for spoken language. Translation from French to English would be easier for English native speakers. The first step would be to have French subtitles available. Kaboul Kitchen's DVDs have French subtitles for hearing impaired, but they are not available on Addic7ed so far... 1 « Caféine et nicotine sont les deux mamelles du sous-titrage. » Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taytoy Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 @Saga Noren If the website is still functioning, you could always ask them (but it was ages ago), or you could request that under the TV Show Requests subforum. But you would need the French subs first... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
