English subtitles

While A Clear Midsummer Night was originally released in Mandarin Chinese without an official English version, fans of the show have created their own fan subtitles in English.

SD subtitles
For the SD version of the show, the show's community on the international video website Viki created subtitles for all episodes. Originally it was possible to watch the show together with the subtitles via Viki, but due to a copyright claim the videos themselves were taken down. The SD subtitles themselves still exist though.

HD subtitles
For various reasons, Clear Midsummer Night Wiki considers the HD version of the show to be canon, rather than the SD version.

The HD version does not currently have full subtitles. There is an ongoing effort by Clear Midsummer Night Wiki to create these, based on the work of the Viki community, by resynchronizing the timings and adding new translations for scenes added in the HD version which were not present in the SD version. However this effort is in an early stage and currently only one episode has been completed, and not yet fully released. For more information, contact Kidburla who is working on this.

Hard versus soft subtitles
As with many Chinese shows, A Clear Midsummer Night was distributed with hard subtitles in Chinese. The fan subtitles are soft subtitles. This effectively means there is no way to show the English subtitles instead of the Chinese ones - they must both be displayed at the same time when watching the show.
