How It Works
This workflow begins by receiving an SRT file and your desired translation language via a web form. It then extracts the text content from the SRT file, intelligently splitting it into individual subtitle entries while preserving timing information. Each text segment is translated using Google Translate. Post-translation, the workflow cleans up common translation artifacts and re-formats the text to ensure it fits standard subtitle display conventions. Finally, all translated segments are reassembled, converted back into a new SRT file, and delivered directly to you, ready for use.
