Translate a Japanese subtitle file
If you already have the Japanese 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 Japanese files
- Japanese subtitles usually run one line per cue. When the English translation does not fit, break it into two cues rather than shrinking the font.
- Politeness level changes the length of a sentence: the same acknowledgement is two to three times longer in keigo than in plain form.
- 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 — Japanese included.
What if my file is not UTF-8?
Convert it first; a mis-encoded file will come back with broken characters.
