Key Features and Highlights

This workflow automates the translation of uploaded SRT subtitle files, supporting multiple languages such as English and Japanese. Leveraging the powerful Google Translate API, it accurately parses subtitle text, segments it, translates, and then recombines the content to generate downloadable translated subtitle files. The process is highly automated, allowing users to upload files online and receive translation results instantly.

Core Problems Addressed

Traditional subtitle translation is cumbersome, requiring manual splitting of subtitle timestamps and text, sentence-by-sentence translation, and reassembly—an error-prone and time-consuming process. This workflow automatically parses the SRT file structure, intelligently segments subtitle entries, and calls the Google Translate API to achieve efficient and accurate batch subtitle translation. It significantly reduces manual labor while preserving the original subtitle format integrity.
