Subtitles in letters you can already read (Latin transliteration)

On the board and up for a vote. Every vote moves it up the list.

Learning Russian, Arabic, Greek or Bangla, with Reelang set to a language written in the Latin alphabet, like English? The subtitles come up in a script you can't read yet, so they don't help much. With transliteration on, every line also shows in Latin letters. You can follow what is being said, connect the sounds to the words, and let the original script become familiar at your own pace, one line at a time.

This one comes from a heritage learner. She grew up hearing Bangla at home and understands everyday conversation just fine, but she never learned to read it. Learning the script is a goal for later. Until then, subtitles in Bangla are of no use to her, and a transliteration would bridge that gap: it lets her lean on what she already has, her ear, while the letters slowly start to make sense.

Votes are how this climbs the list, and we read every one.
