Decisions and troubleshooting.
Should subtitle translation preserve the original word order?
Preserve meaning and speaker intent while using natural target-language structure. Literal order can make a short cue difficult to read.
Why does the translated cue overflow its available space?
Shorten faithfully or flag it for timing review. Do not silently remove a qualification or change cue boundaries to make it fit.
