Hi,
Anybody has up-to-date information on Netflix false narratives for Castilian Spanish in particular. Last time I checked, all FNs were in all caps, regardless of how the text appears onscreen. Is this still the case?

Thank you! Dec 22, 2020

Great, thanks, Francisco. I do have the link but sometimes Netflix make changes and don't update the Guide for a while.
This may be off-topic but, have you ever translated silent film intertitles? I am leaving the text boxes as they appear onscreen, what do you think?
Thanks!

Sorry Dec 22, 2020

I have never translated silent film intertitles, so my opinion could be very wrong, but I would personally also leave the text boxes as they appear on-screen.
