Subtitles

Most of this starts from the Subtitles submenu, and its Tools: right-click the picture while a video plays. Online search, translation and the Position setting are set up first in Settings › Subtitles.

• Loading subtitles — a file beside the video, a track inside it, or a file on your server.
• Finding subtitles online — search OpenSubtitles for a subtitle in your language.
• Syncing subtitles — move a subtitle onto the right timing.
• Resyncing a whole series — fix every episode’s timing at once.
• Subtitle delay — shift every line while you watch, and keep that timing.
• Writing and editing subtitles — create a subtitle, fix its lines and timing, or delete one.
• Saving a subtitle — write your changes to a file.
• Position and style — move a line, change fonts and colours, or place every subtitle.
• Translating subtitles — translate a subtitle with an AI model.
• Translating a whole series — queue a film, a season or a series.
• Subtitles from OpenSubtitles for a series — download them in your language, or English to translate from.
• Following the translation queue — see how far it is, pause it, and retry what failed.
• Choosing a translation model — quality, cost and speed of each kind.
• Better translations — names, speakers, style, and lines that do not fit.
• Translating on your own computer — use Ollama or LM Studio, and let Kaveo listen to the film.
