A current recommendation to get started with SRT subtitle translations

loninapleton · 19th February 2020, 19:23

In the experience of Doom9 users and others, what is the best method using free software to make SRT subtitle translations?

I am able to do the extraction procedure from various programs.

But I resist using an online translator due to privacy issues. If that cannot be avoided, what is the best method? I have little experience with so- called cloud computing of any kind.

My sample is a 30 minute interview extracted from an MKV.

thanks for any guidance

Making subtitles from scratch : VisualSubSync Enhanced
Anything else : Subtitle Edit

Thanks for answering. I received no email notification on this reply.
What I've seen but have no real guide for is using Subtitle Edit _with_ whatever Google cloud product is needed.

And what about cyrilics for Russian or Polish, and Chinese etc?

I've experimented a bit with Subtitle Edit to do translations.

A Google Translate API key is needed for a fee.

But Subtitle Edit will try to do the translation-- in my case to Polish --in standard alpha text. It actually did a completion that way in the free version but I do not speak Polish or anything other than English so I can't proof it.

But the question follows: Does anyone here or in the subtitle community vouch for some accuracy on the free version?

I also thought some anime site might help with that.

You can try https://subtitle.one

I am the creator of this website and I guarantee none of your subtitle files will be uploaded to our servers for translation or adjustment. You can check your browser Network tools to see where the traffic goes. The translation is performed directly in your browser, i.e. your browser will invoke Google Translate directly and create the translated file in the browser without sending any portion of the subtitle file to any other servers other than Google's servers, of course.
