Sometimes when I’m watching a TV Show on any streaming platform, why do the the closed captions have dialogue between the character that isn’t actually spoken but makes sense in the context of the conversation?
Rule 7: previous posts ask about background noises that can’t be heard, but I’m wondering why there seem to just be parts of the script missing.

It’s for people from other parts of the world.
For example, I was watching an animated film from Japan, and subtitles read that the father told the children to take off their shoes before entering the house.
In Japan, that’s not necessary, because that’s just their culture. However, in other parts of the world it isn’t. Thus the subtitles provided the gap between shoed children and shoeless children.
