A good starting place for anyone interested in subtitling regardless of their interests in translation or for someone interested in having an informed perspective while evaluating foreign language films, regardless of their prior familiarity with the concepts. It provides detailed examples of best practices and pitfalls using accessibility and comprehension as a baseline of success. Readers will find the writing approachable and backed by linguistic research and walk away with the tools to start subtitling themselves or to understand foreign language film with new depth.
