It’s true, one does not simply log into Mordor.
The exact moment OpenSubtitles becomes ClosedCaption
I once saw a movie where the subtitles before the movie were like “join my wow guild”. Loved it
Did you join it tho?
Never played it :(

OpenSubtitles is hot garbage, a viable alternative needs to exist. Pray for Subscene
Ironically, this might be an area where machine learning could be beneficial.
I’ve been watching a few projects that are attempting to live translate videos. We are very close
Live is great but I don’t think it’d be feasible for most languages to be a real 1:1 translation in live.
Even a 10s delay allows for the whole sentence/phrase to be captured and translated in entirety. A lot of languages can drastically change meaning due to a word on the other side of the sentence.
It’s already a thing with near-zero delay. MS Teams does it (dunno about the translation) and the QSMP Minecraft server has a bunch of livestreamers from different countries who use it for realtime translation.
[EDIT: Live demo from today. Shit’s impressive.]
What actually happens is that the current sentence gets “corrected” several times as you keep speaking. It’s a bit jittery and if the word order differs significantly then the translated sentence might be a bit wonky for a few seconds, and there are a few misses but overall it works really well; at least well enough that people who don’t speak each others’ language can have a conversation in their native tongues with essentially no more delay than reading speed. I can easily follow a livestream in a foreign language with the live subtitles (which was not the case a mere 6 months ago for any language other than English).
Amazing clip you posted seven months ago here. Doesn’t seem like it could even be any better now.
Can bazarr fix this crap? I got something similar recently.
I have a script that I found somewhere and have made personal tweaks to: https://pastebin.com/RJf9kajk Put it in a file called sub-clean.sh and check the instructions in the script on how to add it to bazarr
I have not noticed any issues with it, but there can of course be false positives (like someone saying the word “Facebook” in a series/movie), so your miles may wary. (this is why i leave the .trash.tmp file personally, so that i can restore the removed lines if needed)
and as always, this script is provided as is, but it might help someone out there
