SubtitleTranslate

Translate English subtilte into other language. Only support *.srt file currently. (Please forgive me for my poor English T_T)

Prerequisite

pip install pyexecjs
pip install srt

if you are from China, please install jieba

pip install jieba

How do it works

  • parse *.srt file into subtitle by third party library srt
  • split subtitle into sentences.
  • translate sentences by Google Translate.
  • split sentences into dialogues.
  • merge original subtitle and translated subtitle

How to use

clone or download util_trans.py, util_srt.py, utils.py into your working dictionary.

from utils import translate_and_compose

input_file = "sample.en.srt"

# Translate the subtitle into Chinese, save both English and Chinese to the output srt file
# translate_and_compose(input_file, output_file, src_lang, target_lang, encoding='UTF-8', mode='split', both=True, space=False)
translate_and_compose(input_file, 'sample_en_cn_both.srt', 'en', 'zh-CN')
# translate_and_compose(input_file, 'sample_en_cn_both.srt', 'en', 'zh-CN', encoding='UTF-8-sig')


# Translate the subtitle into Chinese, save only Chinese subtitle to the output srt file
translate_and_compose(input_file, 'sample_cn_only.srt', 'en', 'zh-CN', both=False)

# Translate the subtitle into German, save both English and German to the output srt file
# In German language, each words separated by space, so space=True
translate_and_compose(input_file, 'sample_en_de_both.srt', 'en', 'de', space=True)

# Translate the subtitle into Japanese, save both English and Japanese to the output srt file
# In Japanese(Chinese, Korean), words are characters which are NOT separated by space, so space=False (default)
translate_and_compose(input_file, 'sample_en_ja_both.srt', 'en', 'ja')

Adavance

If you meet some problem in srt.parse()

Try another encoding method, like encoding='UTF-8-sig'

translate_and_compose(input_file, 'sample_en_cn_both.srt', 'en', 'zh-CN', encoding='UTF-8-sig')

There two tanslation modes.

If your srt file is well-splitted like:

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,290
Coding has been the bread and butter for developers since the dawn of computing.

Well-splitted means each line is a sentence.

So, you should use:

from utils import translate_and_compose

input_file = "sample.en.srt"

# Translate the subtitle into Chinese, save both English and Chinese to the output srt file
# translate_and_compose(input_file, output_file, src_lang, target_lang, encoding='UTF-8', mode='split', both=True, space=False)
translate_and_compose(input_file, 'sample_en_cn_both.srt', 'en', 'zh-CN', mode='naive')

If one sentence may be splitted into multiple lines in the srt file. Please use mode='split'

README in Chinese

字幕翻译，目前仅支持*.srt 文件

Python第三方库

pip install pyexecjs
pip install srt

同时请安装中文分词库“结巴”

pip install jieba

工作原理

  • 利用谷歌翻译实现，使用前请安装pyexecjs库，使用pip install pyexecjs进行安装即可
  • 根据英文字幕的句号、感叹号、问号进行断句，再切割翻译得来的中文
  • 若文件太大，则将文件切割成若干部分进行翻译（谷歌翻译限制字数）

使用方法

下载 util_trans.py, util_srt.py, utils.py 到你的工作路径

from utils import translate_and_compose

input_file = "sample.en.srt"

# 把英文字幕翻译为 中英双语字幕
# translate_and_compose(input_file, output_file, src_lang, target_lang, encoding='UTF-8', mode='split', both=True, space=False)
translate_and_compose(input_file, 'sample_en_cn_both.srt', 'en', 'zh-CN')
# translate_and_compose(input_file, 'sample_en_cn_both.srt', 'en', 'zh-CN', encoding='UTF-8-sig')
