Subtitles Guide For Sinhala π±π°
This tutorial video was created quite a long time ago, so please only take what's useful to you and feel free to ignore the rest.
π± VLC Android App
π¦ ADL Drama Folder
π’ Notice
Most of the Sinhala subtitles we provide are generated using Google Translate. Because of that, there may be some errors or inaccuracies in the translation. However, having a translated subtitle β even if imperfect β is still better than watching without understanding anything at all. Please kindly keep this in mind. π
