This project provides a PotPlayer extension for real-time subtitle translation using Ollama-hosted language models. It targets users who watch foreign language videos and desire on-the-fly translation within PotPlayer, leveraging local LLMs for privacy and customization.

How It Works

The extension integrates with PotPlayer to capture subtitle text and send it to a locally running Ollama instance for translation. It utilizes a Lua script (SubtitleTranslate - ollama.as) to manage the communication between PotPlayer and the Ollama API, enabling subtitle translation without relying on external cloud services.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Download the release zip and extract to potplayer\Extension\Subtitle\Translate.
• Requires PotPlayer and a running Ollama instance with a compatible model (e.g., wangshenzhi/gemma2-9b-chinese-chat:latest).
• Modify the SubtitleTranslate - ollama.as file to point to your desired Ollama model.
• Video tutorials available on Bilibili:
  • 复变的兔子洞
  • 恩赐Cadou
