1Where the two intakes part
Both tie the language of the text to the language of the result. Story.com says to write the script in the target language; StoryShort says the premise language becomes the dialogue language. StoryShort quotes an episode's credits before it starts and lets a scene be made again afterwards; Story.com describes no such step.
