    I watched season 2 of Luke Cage with the closed captioning on & I got really annoyed that the vernacular of the Jamaican characters were given in regular English & not in the dialect spoken. Side-eyeing that choice hard.

        And the switch became very apparent as the episodes went on.

        The closed captioning was also off with the music as well - some scenes that relied heavily on music didn’t display the lyrics. It may be a small thing to some of you, but for folks who use captions, it’s a big damn deal when it’s not done correctly.

        I'm a captioner in the UK and I'm really interested in this because it's always something I worry about! Was it vocab or accent that wasn't being conveyed, do you remember? We don't do accents phonetically much for various reasons, but erasing vernaculars isn't good either.

        Vocabulary-changing the words spoken in original dialect to English. Also, changing “mi” to “my” & switching between the two throughout the series. Definitely not the same words when spoken by certain characters

        My sister captions in the US. The program she dictates into would never be able to understand Patois. She has to talk like a robot into it and it still glitches. The captioners (at her job) use a computer program, so it would need a multi-lingual program that included Patois.

        I watched the entire season with captions as well. I was confused about whether they thought they were translating for people unfamiliar with patois or if they were just reluctant to caption what was actually being said.
