Rules

  1. Keep existing files as they are. If you need to create a new one make a duplicate 
  2. Use Chromachecker account only for CC videos
  3. If you are not sure - ask - write an e-mail 

 

The point is to make the division into successive lines of text easy to read. If there is such a need to form text in lines, using soft-enter instead of hard-enter forces you to go to the next line without creating a new paragraph. The number of characters in the line can also be selected so that the text can be read better. It is a kind of mistake to leave a single word - it's better to break the text first. A good rule of thumb is text breaking which goes hand in hand with punctuation.

 
I also have a request to use the names of primary files - the ones that appear on our website before translation - we will attach subtitles to them - uniform names make it easier to manage - - please only add the language code and possibly the version - I know from my own experience that there are usually several of them - I correct it many times before I am satisfied with the result
 
 
Take into account that 90 characters per line are a practical limit!
I prefer a 2-line layout - trying to keep a similar number of characters in both. It is possible to display 3 lines - but it's hard to read and I avoid it
