Subtitles from OpenSubtitles for a series

What it is for

When you translate a film, a season or a series, Kaveo can look for its subtitles on OpenSubtitles first. A subtitle already in your language costs nothing to download. English found online lets Kaveo translate an episode that has no English here.

How to use it

1. In Settings › Subtitles, enter your OpenSubtitles key, user name and password.
2. Open Subtitles… as usual. The dialog says Searching OpenSubtitles… for a moment.
3. If your language exists online, choose Download them (no translation, no cost) or Translate anyway.
4. Open Each episode to change what a single episode gets.
5. Press Translate.

Good to know

• English from OpenSubtitles is checked against the episode’s audio before it is translated. A subtitle that belongs to another episode is not used, and the episode says so.
• Without a speech transcriber it is marked not checked against the audio.
• Any download, even in your language, is re-timed to your copy first; with no subtitles in the video, through the same release’s English. If Kaveo cannot be sure, it marks it sync uncertain.
• Lines the audio has and the downloaded English lacks are added from the speech transcriber’s words before translating, and marked. Check them on the All lines… page.
• Downloads count against your OpenSubtitles daily allowance. Searching does not. When it runs out, the episodes that need a download wait and continue by themselves when it comes back; the panel shows the time and what is left. Everything else goes on.
