think we’re missing a practical reason here: The editor seems
to be avoiding putting too much English text on the screen to
make it easier for the viewer to read the subtitle at a glance.
If you put all of a very long sentence on the screen, you’ll
have to use a smaller font to squeeze it all in and still be
able to see the action (not to mention appreciate the make-up
and special effects). IOW nice bite-sized chunks of text for
the non-Klingonist audience which unfortunately for us don’t
correspond well between a SVO and OVS languages as De’vID
pointed out.</span></blockquote>
<p>That's what I mentioned other movies for. They're content to use
smaller fonts, to break lines according to concepts as they occur
in the native language. Heck, even the <i>Star Trek</i> movies
did just fine in that regard. "Captain Klaa, we have a target in
sight. A probe of ancient origin." One subtitle. No problems
whatsoever, and no one ever complained, as they do with <i>Discovery,</i>
that the subtitles go by too fast or that the Klingon is too slow.<br>
