Just tried the multiple file translator. But am not really satisfied. The translation really slows down after 1st or 2nd file, and then also some of the lines are not translated anymore, and stays in the original language. It seems as if the target language is forgotten somehow. Translating a file per time is a lot quicker and correcter.
I do also see the need for combining lines for a correct translation.
Thanks for the feedback. Can you please check if the files you are trying to translate in the batch are large ones i.e. size is more than 200KB each? Google translator has a limit of characters you can translate in a fixed duration. So if the batch files are large, it will get slow as it reaches near the limit.
For large files, I would recommend trying with 2-3 files at a time, and see what kind of performance you get.
Just tried this and seems to be working for me. Can you please try this again, and if the problem persists, please try using the latest version of Chrome or Firefox browsers. If still no luck, please let me know what browser you are using and any more details on how to best reproduce the issue.
Akbar, great work. Keep in mind: you should maybe join entries, if you want to get them translated by google. (Parts of sentences without context can loose the meaning)
Example:
Try to translate these as 3 parts
1: “I want to introduce the chairman of”
2: “the NYC 2028 Olympic Commission,”
3: “Michael Prince.”
Thanks for the feedback Sandor, and I totally see your point. This has been long due in my to-do list but is complicated because we have to ideally split the sentence in the correct position in the translated language to keep the timings in sync. But then this requires an understanding of the target language by parser/splitter to make it perfect. I will see if I can build some fuzzy and quick logic that brings this to some reasonable level.
Hi:
Very useful and good program. I tell you that when I use Firefox to translate an SRT, when I click on save, it tells me that I am trying to leave the page, in circumstances that I have not downloaded the file. Any solution? This happened to me with Win 7 and now with the 10. Very grateful.
Hi, is this using the desktop version, or on the mobile one? I just tried this on my machine, and can’t seem to reproduce the problem. May be if you keep running into issues, you can try any other browser (like Chrome)?
Maybe this is due to some specific format of a particular SRT file. If you can provide me with a sample SRT file that has this problem, I can investigate what’s causing this to skip that first line.
Do you mean these don’t appear correctly when running in the video player? If yes, what video player you are using? Can you try with the VLC player and see if that works?
Is this when doing Google translation? If yes, are you using the “Translate” button to translate the file? If possible, try other translator options, and see if you can avoid this issue.
Nice tool, really easy to use. Sometimes the New-translation button results in a slower translation of the next file. But an F5 works every time. What would really be handy to add is to set a default target language. Maybe you can write that in a cookie or something, so as long as the browser is open, the tool will the set target language.
Obviously, it should not slow down as it processes more files. I will see if I can isolate and fix that slowness issue. You suggestion to auto select target language is also a nice suggestion. I will try to incorporate that soon too.
Sometimes a subtitle file (extracted from the video itself) fails as a valid subtitle file. It would be helpful to tell what your tool fails on with the file used.
IN what line is th error? Sometime, I noticed there’s a blank line, removing these blank lines often does the trick.

Can’t save the translating file at the moment, thanks Akbar.

or as whole sentence. 😉

hi, great website. Only problem is the first line of my SRT file is always cut off and does not show up. Is there any way around this? Thanks

The Hebrew subtitles do not work in the film
Do you mean these don’t appear correctly when running in the video player? If yes, what video player you are using? Can you try with the VLC player and see if that works?

Translation many times is not fulfilled.From 3000 subtitles last 800 hundred not translated.It happens often.What can i do.
Is this when doing Google translation? If yes, are you using the “Translate” button to translate the file? If possible, try other translator options, and see if you can avoid this issue.

Would you consider preparing a translation module for the book, please?
Interesting idea, but probably quite out of scope of what I plan to do in the near future.

Sure, nice suggestion. I have now changed this to show the failing line number so that you know what could be tripping the subtitles parser.
Regards, Akbar
Really, really good, so helpful to find where the file fails.
Admirable work, really well done. Good luck.
