Deep Subtitles was created to easily translate text in subtitle (srt format) from one language to another.
The translation of subtitles is based on DeepL which offers machine learning translation. And from my
experience, DeepL translation has been far better than its competitors like Google Translate.
Subtitles are pure dialog. DeepL is better at adjusting translation according to the context so that the dialog
will be translated smoothly and understandable.
DeepL offers 500.000 characters free for translation every month, which is more than plenty for users who need
to translate subtitles occasionally. See schema below for how many characters the subtitles contain in each
movie.
Subtitle meta-data like linenumber and timestamps is not sent to DeepL, so it won't count in your DeepL account.
To use Deep Subtitles, you need an api-key from DeepL (e.g. signing up for a free account): https://www.deepl.com/pro-api. When you have an
account, the api-key can be found on the account page
You can get a character count here for a subtitle file before sending it to DeepL for translation:
Here is a subtitle cleaning tool to exclude lines you don't need for better viewing experience. It can be texts
that are not dialog, like [LOUD NOISE] for hearing impaired that not everyone needs.
It can also be translation of on-screen texts like an SMS message.
Some of them can be distracting for viewers, so this tool can help clean your subtitles.
