Spanish – Captions/Subtitles

[remibetin]

Per Captions/Subtitles:

The terms “captions” and “subtitles” are used for the same thing in different regions of the world. This resource uses:

• Captions for the same language as the spoken audio.
• Subtitles for spoken audio translated into another language.
  Some regions use subtitles for both the same language as the audio and for the translation. Sometimes they are distinguished as intralingual subtitles (same language) and interlingual subtitles (different language).

Most Spanish translations of WAI resources:

• use "subtítulos" to translate "captions" (same language). For example, see Principios de accesibilidad
• use "subtítulos" to refer to translate "subtitles" (different language). For example, see [Vídeo de Introducción a la Accesibilidad Web y los Estándares del W3C – Traducciones].

The Candidate Authorized Translations of WCAG 2.0 uses "subtítulos" in success criteria, and "subtítulos (para sordos)" in the glossary.
