QUESTION: From the perspective of a non-Thai speaker/viewer, how will you measure the
accuracy of the sub-title?

- As a non-Thai speaker/viewer, Google translate helped me understand the English

subtitles but it didn’t give me very accurate results. The translator was able to give me the
correct terms for simple words, but when it came to translating full sentences, some of
the wordings in the original text are slightly different from the subtitles.
