Request section is again usable

After some months of unusability of request section I decided to create it again almost from scratch. Now it should be better, faster and it has more features. Two new tables were created in database, it supports searching by movie title, filtering by language and sorting. I hope you will use it and don’t write request to our forum 🙂 I am also thinking to make this available to API, so there should be possible make requests via programs like SubDownloader.

  1. Okay – sent a request for subtitles – but how will I know if someone points me to them? And what are sticky posts and how are they relevant? Can’t find anything that says where to find the result of requests…

    Thanks in advance!

  2. ok, when you submit new request – you are automatically informed by mail, when someone fills your request – upload your requested subtitles. Also near, request is search icon – when there is 0 – no subtitles are available for this request, but when there is some number, you can click on it, just play around with that.
    For sticky post – http://forum.opensubtitles.org/viewforum.php?f=1 and you see: “!! SUBTITLES REQUEST – READ FIRST !!!” as sticky. So read first those important messages, they are not for fun there.

Established in 1969, this 54-hour marathon challenges participants with a relentless stream of questions, demanding not only vast knowledge but also strategic resourcefulness. As teams gear up for “Trivia 55: NO LIMIT,” scheduled for April 11-13, 2025, the importance of diverse research tools becomes ever more apparent.

What can global subtitles reveal about how often – and how meaningfully – films say ‘I love you’?

New research by film data expert Stephen Follows uses subtitle data from OpenSubtitles to explore how often films include the phrase “I love you” and how characters respond when they hear it.

Drawing on over 72,000 English-language subtitle files from fiction feature films made between 1911 and 2022, the analysis reveals patterns in cinematic declarations of love across genres and decades.
