srt-GPT-translator

En | 中文说明

This tool is designed to help users translate srt file into a different language using the OpenAI API (model="gpt-3.5-turbo"). Support bilingual subtitles output.

Features

• Each translation consists of multiple subtitle blocks, not exceeding 1024 characters, to maintain smooth context.
• Introduced a mechanism to check the OpenAI API translation results. If the format does not correspond to the original text, it will be re-translated. If the translation is still incorrect after three attempts, the original short text for that section will be returned.

Installation

To use this tool, you will need to have Python 3 installed on your system, as well as the following packages:

You can install these packages by running the following command:

pip install -r requirements.txt

git clone

git clone https://github.com/jesselau76/srt-gpt-translator.git

Update to new version

cd srt-gpt-translator
git pull
pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

To use this tool, you need rename settings.cfg.example to settings.cfg at first.

cd srt-gpt-translator
mv settings.cfg.example settings.cfg
nano settings.cfg

openai-apikey = sk-xxxxxxx

replace sk-xxxxxxx to your OpenAI api key. Change others options then press CTRL-X to save.

run the command:

python3 srt_translation.py [-h] [--test] filename

positional arguments:
  filename    Name of the input file

options:
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit
  --test      Only translate the first 3 short texts

Simply run the srt_translation.py script with the file you want to translate or convert as an argument. For example, to translate a srt file named example.srt, you would run the following command:

python3 srt_translation.py example.srt

By default, the script will attempt to translate the text into the language specified in the settings.cfg file under the target-language option.

Feature

• The code reads the OpenAI API key, target language, and other options from a settings.cfg file.
• The code provides a progress bar to show the progress of srt translation
• Test function available. Only translate 3 short texts to save your API usage with --test.

Configuration

The settings.cfg file contains several options that can be used to configure the behavior of the script:

• openai-apikey: Your API key for the OpenAI API.
• target-language: The language you want to translate the text into (e.g. "English", "Chinese", "Japanese").

Output

The output of the script will be two files:

• An SRT file with the same name as the input file, but with _translated added to the end. For example, if the input file is example.srt, the output file will be example_translated.srt.
• Another bilingual subtitle file, an SRT file with the same name as the input file, but _translated_bilingual is added at the end. For example, if the input file is example.srt, the output file will be example_translated_bilingual.srt.
