1c7/Translate-Subtitle-File

What it solves

It simplifies the process of translating subtitle files (.srt, .vtt, .ass) into other languages, allowing users to create bilingual subtitles (e.g., English-Chinese) or translated-only versions without paying middleman markups.

How it works

The software acts as a graphical interface that connects directly to various translation service providers via API keys. Users configure their own API keys from a provider, upload their subtitle files, select the source and target languages, and the tool handles the translation process using the provider's API.

Who it’s for

• Individuals: People watching video tutorials or foreign content who need a rough translation to understand the majority of the content.
• Subtitle Groups: Teams that use machine translation for initial "rough" processing of subtitles before manually refining them for higher quality.

Highlights

• Direct API Integration: Users provide their own API keys, allowing them to utilize free tiers from service providers and avoid third-party fees.
• Multi-format Support: Compatible with .srt, .ass, and .vtt subtitle formats.
• Broad Language Support: Supports any language offered by the connected translation service provider.
• Flexible Output: Options to output either bilingual subtitles or translated text only.
