Translate a French subtitle file
If you already have the French 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 French files
- French subtitle convention is short lines, around 37-40 characters, breaking earlier than English would.
- Written and spoken French are far apart: on instead of nous, dropped ne. Subtitles should follow what was said, not the grammar book.
- 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 — French included.
What if my file is not UTF-8?
Convert it first; a mis-encoded file will come back with broken characters.
