It’s a longshot, but I’m going to take it. Anyone here know Burmese, or know someone who does? If so, send me a PM.

The reason is, we’re going to have Burmese subtitles in the next version… but the fansubber who created them left out the translation for ROTJ’s crawl. Normally I don’t even bother with fansubs that don’t translate the crawl (this is actually fairly common, and one of the reasons that, at least so far, we don’t have Urdu subtitles). But I finished the first two movies in Burmese before I hit Jedi and realized this film’s translation was different.

So either (more likely) Burmese will be a one-off language which is incomplete for one film, or (less likely) we find someone to fill the gap, and we get Burmese subtitles that are on par with other languages.

Upon reflection, if anyone knows Urdu and is willing to translate three crawls, they can send me a PM too. Our Hindi dubs would likely make the translation a pretty easy job.

EDIT: Actually for Urdu, we’d likely need translations for the whole films. I don’t think I can get the existing fansubs synced without the involvement of someone who knows the language, and I suspect the translations used by the Hindi dub may be a better starting point anyway.
