chinese subtitles

jimstamos · 08-14-2012, 08:14 AM

im doing a short film competition and i need to put chinese subtitles under someone talking. since i dont have those in vistitle , how would i load them in. this is a spoof , so i just need to show the chinese words while they are talking, no need to be matching word wise at all.

I would find out first which chinese? cantonese etc?

then I would load the appropriate language pack and then it will be there in vistitle, after all it is made in China

where do you get the language and how do you load it

antonsvideo · 08-15-2012, 04:01 AM

in my case, with Win7 Ultimate, I can simply go to windows update, optional updates and choose any or all of 34 languages including traditional or simplified chinese

but all jokes aside, vistitle already has several chinese fonts included

do you have the text in chinese characters? is so, simply choose a font in vistitle like FangSong or DFKai-SB or KaiTi etc

you need to paste it and not type it, or do you know how to type in chinese?

if you copy chinese text and paste into textbox that is set to FangSong it should work

how is the customer providing you with the chinese text?

noone is providing, i need to get it and load it . seems if there is a font there, when you higlight it, that text would show up, like symbol which is greek.
where and how do i load the chinese dialect?i dont have windows 7 ultimate, i have premium

can you paste the following text into vistitle, if yes, then all is well, you just need someone to provide you with the text unless you know the chinese language and you know how to type in chinese

or were you thinking you can type in English and it will be automatically typed in chinese? you also need a chinese keyboard
