Hi, I am trying to add chinese subtitles to a dvd movie. I started by downloading a chinese translation SRT file, and importing it. As i open the file it is on default, but not in chinese. As i change the font to a chinese font (big5) the text changes to chinese characters.
But as i save the file to an ass file, and then burn it with handbrake into a new file, the subtitels are in the "default", and not in chinese.
What am i doing wrong?
thx, for the info. could not find the programs (my bad) but your comments together with the good old internet came across a workaround that seems to work. Using libreoffice calc to change the code and then wordpad to write a txt and then jubler to make the subtitles
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Perhaps you do not need Unicode:
Click on settings --> settings --> general -> charsets -> change original charset to "GB2312", and reload subtitle. Saving also should be Ok then.

Hi, Luc.
Subtitle Workshop, as far as I know, don't work with UNICODE characters.
Bedazzle, Spiridonov or Kameleon may clarify that better.
Your files seems to be 00936 ANSI/OEM Simplified Chinese encoding.
