This project provides a tool to translate subtitle files using the ChatGPT API, targeting users who need to localize video content. It offers multi-language support and context-aware translation by considering surrounding sentences.

How It Works

The tool leverages the gpt-3.5-turbo model for translation. It processes subtitle files (SRT, VTT) by sending segments to the ChatGPT API, incorporating context from preceding and succeeding lines to improve translation accuracy.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Install dependencies: npm install
• Run translation: node index.js
• Prerequisites: Node.js, OpenAI API key.
• Configuration: Rename config.example.json to config.json and add API key and target language.
• Input/Output: Place subtitle files in the src folder; translated files appear in res.

Highlighted Details

• Supports .srt and .vtt subtitle formats.
• Utilizes gpt-3.5-turbo for translation.
