Translate a Chinese subtitle file
If you already have the Chinese subtitle file, you do not need the video at all. The file goes in, the same file comes back with translated lines and the timecodes exactly as they were.
Line count and structure are preserved: if your file has 312 cues, it comes back with 312 cues.

Notes for Chinese files
- A Chinese character carries more meaning than an English word, so the same line takes far less room in Chinese than in the English translation. Expect the subtitle to grow by roughly a third when it comes back.
- Short-form Chinese runs fast and cuts mid-sentence, which makes line breaks harder than in long-form content.
- UTF-8 in, UTF-8 out. If your player shows boxes, it is the font, not the file.

Questions
Will the line count stay the same?
Yes. Lines are translated one to one; nothing is merged or split.
Can I translate into a language other than English?
Yes, any pair the model handles — Chinese included.
What if my file is not UTF-8?
Convert it first; a mis-encoded file will come back with broken characters.
