Have you ever had a problem finding a download of a movie that you have been waiting for weeks or even months to watch? Many people have, and I?m here to help. I regularly review premium streaming sites so that you can find the movie that you want without spending too much money.
If you are unable to understand or read the dialogue in a foreign movie because you don't know the language, there are several websites that can help. These websites specialize in providing high quality subtitles for movies in other languages, so you won't have to suffer through them in silence.
Many subtitle sites are more like online communities of film enthusiasts and amateur translators who are passionate about the subject. Furthermore, these communities have a goal of making film more globally accepted.
Every film should be accessible in every language. It is truly a noble thing that these people go through the trouble of translating subtitles into numerous different languages. Often, too, people do this tedious work for no pay. These heroes and heroines deserve all the applause in the world, utilizing their free time to ensure that films can be enjoyed by all. Cheers to you!
There are many subtitle sites out there, but not all of them are created equal. In addition to the design of the site itself (how user-friendly, intuitive, organized, and responsive it is), other factors to consider include the quality of the subtitle database, the ease of finding subtitles for specific films and TV shows, and customer service.
One of the biggest problems with subtitles is the fact that they can often be terrible. There are a lot of sites that generate their own subs, which usually means that they use an audio to text converter to create them. These subs tend to be pretty bad because they are usually created using a machine instead of someone who understands how to caption accurately. Plus, you can just turn on the subtitles on YouTube and see how often they are wrong - it's not uncommon at all!
To find a good subtitle site, it's important to look for sites with strong community features. These sites typically have forums, blogs, and chatrooms where users can communicate and share subtitles. If you're interested in quality subtitles, then it's important to find a site with a engaged community.
We are evaluating Sub DivX, a Spanish subtitles site that is very forum-forward. The community is certainly not lacking a component here, but does a strong and active community always result in a large number of high-quality subtitles? Let's dive in and take a look!
Design
My first impression of Sub DivX is not positive. Okay, if I can be franker? this site looks just a little bit better than garbage. Have I seen worse website designs? I have, sure, but, good god, Sub DivX needs a total overhaul.
When you land on the home page, you will see a plain white, gray, and blue theme. Instead of finding convenient ways to browse subtitles or a sleek-looking archive of recent uploads, for some reason, you will land on a forum page first. And what's more, this forum is just awkwardly placed in a box just off-center with a few options for browsing posts: Home, New, Most Commented, Most Voted, and Most Read. Below these options, you'll find a large selection of cryptic looking icons. Hover your cursor over them to learn that they represent the various forums available on this site.
To the right is a box which includes Best Comments and another box below it marked "Improve Thread." Keep scrolling down to find a word cloud of the site's most wanted subtitles. Then, access the latest subtitles and, finally, find a list of the site's users who have donated (and how much money they have donated).
There is a weirdly chunky and stout search bar at the top of the page, with a dropdown menu next to it that lets you search by subs, forums, or processes (whatever this means). You'll also find the main site menu bar below this, offering a clumsy and ineffective way to navigate the site. There is no decent browsing mechanisms insight on this page.
Content and Features
SubDivX has many forums and each one is separated by topic. You can engage in any conversation you want on any of the following forums: News, Politics, Troubleshoot (problems), About, General, Bizarro, Adult, Recommended Movies, Film Reviews, Other Sites, Soccer, PC Games, Software, and Subtitle Request. However, it seems as if SubDivX's powers as a subtitle site have been traded in for its diversity.
Sub DivX offers subtitles in numerous languages for both film and TV (which is something that not every subtitle site can say for itself). And it does have a fairly large community: over 770,000 registered users. As far as actual subtitles are concerned, this site could definitely use some improvement. Sub DivX has an archive of 582,876 subtitles to choose from. That is not a small feat, but it would be much better if the site had a better way to browse this impressive archive.
Mobile and Desktop Experience
Regarding the mobile experience of this site, I have good news and bad news. The good news is that Sub DivX will load on your smartphone and tablet. The bad news is that the site is not fully optimized for mobile devices. It is awkwardly sized, and you will have to do a ton of side-scrolling in order to even read full forum titles or subtitle names. To say that this is not the most mobile-friendly site would be an understatement. However, it is doable if necessary.
Suggestions that I have for subdivx
I would strongly advise that SubdivX take some of the money they receive from users and hire a good web designer to just rebuild their entire site. This is important, as their loyal community has the potential to be one of the best subtitle sites on the web.
