JUST TYPE THE WORDS

Who do subtitlers think subtitles are even FOR? People who can hear what the characters are saying?

Spoilers for the Thing (1982) to play devil's advocate for a bitUhm, well, tbf, let's say you have the movie the 'Thing', where 2 armed Norwegians in Antarctica tries to warn Americans at their base that the dog, that they're chasing and hunting down, is a monster. If you were Norwegian, you would understand the message, however, for the sake of non-spoilers, some subtitlers don't translate his message.

Other than one thing, generally I agree.

True, but having the subtitles be what the character is saying but untranslated is different from just saying “[speaking norwegian]”

I concede my point, then.
