The Subtitle as Translation—Beyond Language Subtitling is often framed as translation between languages; but even English-to-English subtitling is translation: spoken cadence into line-broken text; overlapping dialogue pruned into sequential lines; laughter and studio applause rendered as [laughs] or left implicit. Choices betray ideology: which cultural references are annotated, which jokes are preserved, which are simplified for clarity. In Friends S1, this means deciding whether to explain a 1994 cultural reference or leave it to the viewer’s cultural competence.
