Okay, the Hindi dubs are now as done as I’ll be able to get them without access to better sources.
This whole project has been like a cautionary tale about why we should always start with good-quality sources, but I hope that even in their current incomplete state, they can serve some function:
- They are mostly complete, so for someone who needs a Hindi dub and doesn’t mind a few lines in untranslated English, they should work.
- They may serve as a big “Help Wanted” sign, that we are interested in making Star Wars available in Hindi, but need help. That could be in the form of people with access to better audio sources, or willing to transcribe the dubs into subtitles–Hindi or Urdu.
- You should have heard what they sounded like before. They’ll be the best Hindi dubs available on the Internet, regardless.
The same story will apply to the Tamil dubs (for Empire and Jedi only), which are nearing completion.
