Import Configuration
You need first to select the code page (encoding) to match that of the subtitle file. You can also import native Unicode UTF-8 and UTF-16 text files.
There’s a warning message displayed if you’re working in a non-Unicode mode and trying to import a Unicode text file. Here is a list of commonly used code pages:
1250 |
ANSI Eastern European: Central European and Eastern European languages that use Latin script, such as Polish, Czech, Slovak, Hungarian, Slovene, Croatian, Serbian (Latin script), Romanian, Albanian, etc. |
1251 |
ANSI Cyrillic |
1252 |
ANSI US - Western European languages (English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, etc.) |

932 |

Unicode UTF-16. Not bounded to any language. Combines characters in any of the world's writing systems |

Unicode UTF-8. Not bounded to any language. Combines characters in any of the world's writing systems |
It is recommended to switch the Include Italics on. The program will interpret the special italic start/stop tags and import the corresponding text as italicized.
If the file you wished to import comes in some non Latin language like Greek, Arabic, even some European language, it will most probably contain the TAB symbol as the default attributes delimited. Check the Tab Delimited option to read the file correctly.
Please note that effects such as outline or box are not supported by this format.
