This program is a tool to translate and create automatically an srt file to be used as a subtitle for your video, to be auto reproduce in your language.

Supported on the google api for google-translate and based on the parser library pysrt with this program you will be able to translate in a matter of seconds your subtitles from the origin language for your videos.

The flow of work is something like this:
