Tips for better Japanese to English translation

• Japanese often leaves out the subject ("I", "you", "they"). Because translation runs on full sentences, the English adds the subject that fits the context.
• Keep the Japanese transcript visible: it helps with names, product terms and numbers, which you can verify against the original.
• For streams with background music, lower the music or use a direct audio route so speech is clear.
