On the other hand, if you upload your own animated GIF, Bluesky will convert it to a video file. I don't know why (possibly something about compression techniques?), but it will.
In that situation, Bluesky will still tell you that you can add "alt text", but it's not actually going to be alt text.

Short, commonly known phrases like that usually are subtitled, and are deliberately left untranslated. Your example does not apply to the argument made in the original post, which states that all dialog in any language should be translated into the subtitle language.

A core principle of subtitling is to ensure the subtitles give the viewer enough time to look at the screen, instead looking down the entire time. Transcribing text most viewers wouldn’t understand goes against that. I’ll reiterate, rarely would there be important information in untranslated dialog.

Then why wouldn’t the creator subtitle it onscreen? Who would make something with important dialog spoken in another language and not translate it?

I never understand this complaint. If there’s foreign dialog in a film or TV show that the creator consciously decided not to translate, there’s no practical reason to include a translation in the subtitles other than, “It would be cool to know what that guy said.”
