What is subbed?

Subbed typically refers to a video or audio file that has been subtitled with translations of the dialogue or text into a different language. This is commonly seen in media imported from other countries, such as anime or foreign films, which may not have an English language track available. Subbing can be done by individuals or by official distribution companies, and can be found on various platforms including streaming sites, DVDs, and Blu-rays. Some viewers prefer subbed content to dubbed, as it allows them to hear the original voice acting while also understanding the dialogue in their own language.
