TVB Digital Channels Introduces Chinese and English Subtitles

Beginning with this year's anniversary series, "No Regrets" and "Gun Metal Grey", TVB HD channel will provide subtitles in both Chinese and English. Hong Kong viewers will have the opportunity to select which subtitles to watch with.


Personal Note: If TVB is going to provide English subtitles to the HK viewers, then TVB should really hire better translators, as some of the English subtitles for the overseas DVDs are poorly translated. 囧!

  2. Totally agree! Their English translations suck -- not only on the subtitles, but also on their plot summaries on the back of their DVDs.

    The sad thing is that their Chinese subtitles are bad as well -- sometimes I watch the DVDs with the Chinese subtitles just for the heck of it -- all I can say is 'horrible' is an understatement.

    I actually don't know what's worse -- their Chinese subtitles or their English ones. You know, when they fired / laid off all those people last year, they should have fired all the translators!!!

    Thanks for visiting!

    To llwy12:

    I don't have a problem with the Chinese subtitles. It is the English subtitles that are translated poorly.
