Q: How do I make the imported TXT file display the correct language characters in DVD Workshop 2? There are many questions marks after I imported the new text.
A: Sorry for the inconvenience. DVD Workshop 2.2 or later versions support Unicode for subtitles, so it’s necessary to input the correct CS ID in the subtitle attribute to display other translated languages correctly after they have been imported. You may refer to the procedure below:
- Export the TXT file after you finish one language subtitle in DVD Workshop 2.
- Open the exported TXT file and paste the translated characters to replace the original ones.
- Locate the last section with the #Subtitle text attribute begin and #Subtitle text attribute end.
- Between the #Subtitle text attribute begin and end, there are three settings which you will need to be aware of:
(1) /FN: means font name. Please check the font type list in DVD Workshop 2 and fill out the font name you need. For example, Arial.
(2) /CS: means character set. Please enter the appropriate code in the ID (CS) field which stands for different languages from the following table. For example, to create Hebrew subtitles, you need to change the CS ID to 177.
(3) /FS: means font size. This defines the font size you need. For example, 30.
- After you replace the translated characters and change the proper settings for FN, CS and FS, save as the TXT file to the other file name.
- Import the saved as file to DVD Workshop 2 to complete other language subtitle editing.
