Why do English subtitles feel simplified or different from real speech?

[ibodi]

I watch subtitles on video that is very easy actually

but it seems to hide something in it

why dont they describe it directly? ot there are no these words actully?

[AI Opinion]

Subtitles are usually simplified on purpose 😊

Spoken English is full of fillers, half-sentences, and slang that would look messy and be hard to read. Subtitles must be short so viewers can read them quickly while watching the scene. Translators also adapt expressions that don’t translate literally. So they keep the meaning, but remove extra words or change phrases to be clearer and faster to read. 🎬📺

Well, they probably don’t have words in English too translate it to. I need to simplify it also since in other languages one word sounds like a full sentence, but for us would only be one word to explain it all

The English and Americans are separated by a common language.
