How Vocnu writes Lithuanian
Translations follow the way Lithuanian media write, not English word for word.
- Foreign people's names get Lithuanian spelling and endings and are declined: Gary becomes Geris, Ichigo becomes Ičigas.
- Places use their established Lithuanian form, such as Mičigano ežeras for Lake Michigan; others are written by their sound, the way Lithuanian news write them. Companies, brands and ships keep their original spelling.
- When someone is called, the name takes the vocative: Ičigai, palauk!
- Participles and adjectives keep each character's own gender (buvau pavargęs, buvau pavargusi), whoever reads the line.
- Everyday spoken Lithuanian, without bookish words or word-for-word calques.

Measured on the live service with a feature film made into a Lithuanian voice-over video, from the start of processing (uploading not included). A short clip of a documentary narrated from start to finish takes about twice the time shown, a whole 44-minute documentary took 16 minutes, and times vary with how busy the service is.
