Error Code:

TimedText-LambdaCapInvalidRubyPosition

Error Message:

Invalid Ruby orientation for this text line

Example: First line in screen number 573 has an invalid combination of placement HorizontalBottom and ruby positioning RubyBelow​

Definition:

The Ruby orientation is invalid and needs to be fixed.

Solution:

  • For single line subtitle with horizontal alignment – position ruby above character.
  • For single line subtitle with vertical alignment – position ruby on right side of character.
  • If ruby is present on second line of a two-line horizontal subtitle – position ruby below ruby base.
  • If ruby is present on second line of a two-line vertical subtitle – position ruby on left side of ruby base.
  • Ruby on second line of three-line subtitle is not allowed.
  • Rubies used as furigana for kanji should be age appropriate. E.g. children’s content should use rubies as furigana for Kanji which is not commonly known for that age group.
