Subtitle-Translate

Script for translating Subtitle (.srt) files with google translate.

Installation

pip install git+https://github.com/CoolCat467/Localization-Translation-Utility.git

Usage

If you don't already have a separate subtitle file, you can extract subtitles from your video file with something like this:

ffmpeg -i Movie.mkv -map 0:s:0 subtitles.srt

You might need to change the last 0 if there is more than one subtitle track in your file. Please note that this will absolutely not work at all if your video file does have a baked-in subtitle track!

> subtitle_translate
usage: subtitle_translate [-h] [--version] [--source-lang SOURCE_LANG] [--dest-lang DEST_LANG] [--dest-file DEST_FILE] source_file

Translate subtitles from one language to another.

positional arguments:
  source_file       The source subtitle file to translate.

  --version         Show the program version and exit.
  --source-lang SOURCE_LANG
                    The language of the source subtitles (default: 'auto'). Must be a ISO 639-1:2002 language code or 'auto' to
                    guess.
  --dest-lang DEST_LANG
                    The language to translate the subtitles to (default: 'en'). Must be a ISO 639-1:2002 language code.
  --dest-file DEST_FILE
                    The destination subtitle file (default: '<source-file>.<source-lang>.<source-file ext>').

When run with any valid source file, program save translated results in in the current working directory.

General code layout:

main.py is the command line interface handler.

subtitle_parser.py handles reading, parsing, and writing subtitle files.

translate.py handles talking to Google Translate.

extricate.py (name means taking apart and putting back together) is used by the translation module to split dictionaries into a keys list and a values list so it can translate all the values and then rebuild the dictionary by re-combining the keys list and the new translated values list.

agents.py from https://github.com/Animenosekai/useragents/blob/main/pyuseragents/data/list.py is by Anime no Sekai and has a ton of random user agents to use so Google Translate doesn't get suspicious of us sending tens of thousands of requests without an API key
