Subtitles can be produced in same language with text only. However, this is a more common practice for closed captioning for the deaf or hard of hearing. Standard subtitles do not contain information vital for viewers who are deaf or hard of hearing to fully enjoy and understand the content of a video – unless they are subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing. Subtitles are often translated to allow viewers who do not speak the source language to enjoy the content of a video. This also applies to television program or feature film. The video is then suitable for worldwide distribution.
