Thanks for the interesting video on metacafe website on people living in Hong Kong.

I truly wonder how important the Cantonese Chinese translation is ( excluding academic / grammatical study )

since, I have never met a Cantonese speaking Chinese who can read Chinese and who could not understand the Mandarin Chinese subtitles.

So, if this for Mandarin speaking Chinese who want to better understand Cantonese grammar ?

I would love to see the Cantonese Yale Romanization underneath the Cantonese subtitles.

Is their a way to export the Cantonese text information from the metacafe video ?

I believe people use something called SRS to get the subtitles ?

Is their a Cantonese Chinese transcript of the video ?

Once, you get the Cantonese Characters in a word document, how would you translate to Yale Romanization ?

Many Thanks, LA Guy

Hi LA Guy,

You asked: "Once, you get the Cantonese Characters in a word document, how would you translate to Yale Romanization ?"

I don't know about Yale, but you can get the Jyutping romanization by using the tool here:

Just select the input style, choose "Cantonese - Jyutping" for phonetic system, paste the chinese text and hit "Go"

Hope this helps.
