Plugin to add subtitles in Basque to Netflix movies

  • ZerNonIkusi has published on Netflix the Basque version of a plugin developed in Catalonia in movies that do not have subtitles in Basque by themselves, in order to add subtitles in some cases. You need a paid Netflix account, which serves for inspection on your computer via Chrome or Firefox browsers.

Zarata mediatikoz beteriko garai nahasiotan, merkatu logiketatik urrun eta irakurleengandik gertu dagoen kazetaritza beharrezkoa dela uste baduzu, ARGIA bultzatzera animatu nahi zaitugu. Geroz eta gehiago gara, jarrai dezagun txikitik eragiten.

It can be added as a plugin or additional extension for the following browsers:

  • Chrome
  • FireFox

To use it, IMPORTANT: not enter Netflix and search there for the movie, but open the plugin itself and see that it has a menu extension that opens:

From this list you have to click on the available films and that is how that film will start in Basque. The example of the top image is Baby Driver. This film is not included in the Netflix catalog with Basque subtitles, but the plugin integrates the visual experience with the subtitles available on the website of the Basque Government Open Data Euskadi.

What movies are currently available with this option? A few dozen, here are listed.

Error/vacuum on Netflix

We have also discovered that the essential information on content in Basque has disappeared in the Netflix web interface.

When searching for subtitles, the Basque Country appears as an option https://netflix.com/browse/subtitles

But in searches by folding original audio or audio there is no possibility of searching for Basque:

And it's a pity, because there's a lot of dual content, possibilities for children and -- and there's original Basque works like Errementari and Handia in the catalog. In short, instead of this incorrect search for Netflix catalogues, you can check the same Zer Non Ikusi to discover the different contents in Basque on this platform:

Video clips: face or cross
Their job is to create and play music. But just that? Image and promotion are becoming more and more important in most areas, and musicians are not apart from that swirl either. A video clip is the (almost) essential support for publishing a song or a record. Yes, at least when... [+]
