+# English Subtitle Fallback
+
+English SRT files are intentionally optional for now.
+
+The dialogue runtime first tries the selected subtitle language, then falls back to French. Missing English files should therefore remain validation warnings, not blocking errors, until the English translation workflow is ready.
+
+Expected future files:
+
+- `narrateur.srt`
+- `fermier.srt`
+- `electricienne.srt`
