There is nothing more frustrating for the linguistically-challenged than watching a film without subtitles.  At the same time, there is really nothing quite like hearing actors speak their parts in one’s native language.

But one organization has come up a creative solution.

Mozilla is sponsoring a new program, Universal Subtitles, which makes it easy for anyone, anyplace to create and view subtitles and request translations of videos:

Recognizing the power of film in fostering global community and intercultural communication, we wholeheartedly endorse this initiative.
