Thank you for posting that code. I tried it, but it didn't have any effect. The code is more complex. The program takes the output of Google Translate and sifts through a bunch of garbage to find the translation. I almost think Google makes it complex on purpose to discourage ripping it off the net...

Here is that part of the code. I didn't want to post it initially, as it is quite overwhelming, but I think it's also unfair to leave you guys in the dark:

Code:

text='Il dit, "Ça va?" Elle dit, "Oui, bien sûr!"'
translation=$(wget -U "Mozilla/5.0" -q -O- "http://translate.googleapis.com/translate_a/single?client=gtx&sl=fr&tl=en&dt=t&q=$text");
echo
echo $translation
echo
echo $translation | perl -lne 'push @a,/(?<!\,\[\[)\[\"(.*?)(?<!\\)\"/g;END{print "@a"}'\
                    | perl -CS -pwe ' s/\N{U+005C}\N{U+0022}/\N{U+0022}/g;'

005C = backslash
0022 = quote

The result is: He says, "Are you okay?" She says, "Yes, of course!"

If anyone is really bored and wants to see the full code, it is here (free to use, edit, and distribute... as always ):


A simple Linux shell script for translating an .srt file into another language and merging both languages into an .ass file . GitHub


The program allows a person to take an .srt file, translate it into another language, and merge both languages into an .ass file.


So it can be understood a little better, here is a picture of my computer playing a video with a subtitle produced by the program:




This project allows me to learn French by watching movies with both French and English subtitles alongside eachother. Quite a worthwhile venture for a language learner like myself.
