Translate a German subtitle file
If you already have the German 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 German files
- German is where line length becomes a hard constraint: one compound noun can fill a whole line, so the translation compresses before it breaks.
- Compound nouns (Antragsfrist, Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung) do not fit a 42-character line at all and have to be paraphrased.
- 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 — German included.
What if my file is not UTF-8?
Convert it first; a mis-encoded file will come back with broken characters.
