This post is an edited version of the subs that were meant to go with the Sabelma release, which is a Swedish language DVD rip. These subs also go with the unhelpfully labelled 2 disc "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2009) DVDRIP, Eng. Sub" release (which I suspect may have been taken and relabelled from the Sabelma release).

The subs I worked with - which were the best I could find that were timed correctly - claimed to be edited and checked by the original poster, but they still had many distracting, and occasionally confusing, mistakes. Some of the errors included typos, misplaced words, the use of quotation marks ("") in place of where an ellipses should go (...), or writing "Lt" instead the word "It", or missing periods at the end of sentences (this was FREQUENT), or failing to separate exchanges between two or more characters into two separate lines (example below).

I checked the CD1 and CD2 SRT subs line by line and used the movie and the NODLABS 720p BluRay.x264 subs (which were excellent) as a reference. Aside from that, the subs were not modified in any way because the sync timing was perfect.

Here are few examples of some of the changes. (Please note, that these examples represent only a small portion of the total edits.)

Original text: "Till this things blown oven"
My Edit: "Till this thing blows over."

Original text: "You like you think you
smell just took a shower?"
My Edit: "You think you smell
like you just took a shower?"

Original text: "He found this Elm
and had the photo blown up."
My Edit: "He found this film
and had the photo blown up."

Original text: "No. So I went to his house
to see if I could End anything."
My Edit: "No. So I went to his house
to see if I could find anything."

Long story short, all these edits should make it easier for viewers to enjoy this great movie.
