I've uploaded a clip from the movie Kadhal Kadhai, containing a flashback sequence where Prabakaran plays Periyar. I cannot be sure about the exact definition of a few of the words that were used in the clip, especially by the priest. Can someone else please transcribe this into English?



Edit: After adding English subtitles we could upload this on the Nirmuktavideos channel.

Great idea Ajita. I can't wait to see the whole film!

I just loaded the video to http://dotsub.com where we can crowdsource the translation. This one is somewhat easy for me, so I've done my best subtitling it here: http://dotsub.com/view/632fda72-60a8-43e...db665e54a9 All the dialogues are covered. Would someone like to improve or give suggestions to improve the subtitles? Please post your suggestions here.

EDIT: It would be especially good, if someone who knows little Tamil looks at it and comments on the quality of subtitles.

Nice job, donatello! I've replaced the literal translations in a couple of spots with interpretations that sound better and come off as more accurate in English. We can post it on the Nirmuktavideos channel. What do you think?

I've uploaded the subtitles from here: http://dotsub.com/transcribe/632fda72-60...db665e54a9

OK, can you do this? Also, feel free to give yourself credit at the end for translation!
