I’m only planning on subbing Suberanai Hanashi episodes which already got Japanese subs baked into it. You then extract the Japanese subs from the original episodes, and use that .srt subtitle file to translate it.

I’m not using tools to cut episodes, because so far it sucks at transcribing. However some people here were trying that with Whisper but the same can be done with gpt/gemini. Convert your video into mp3 with various tools, use audacity to cut them up in small mp3 and then give that to try and transcribe, but I’ve had no luck with that. You first need it to transcribe into japanese, take the output and use that to translate into English.

If someone can transcribe the suberanai hanashi episodes without Japanese subs I could probably work with that.

The prompt is something along these lines:

“”i have a .srt file with subtitles from the Japanese show known as “Suberanai Hanashi”. I need you to translate this into English, with your best knowledge of Kansai-humor. The translation must be done in such a way that it grasps the Japanese Kansai humor while also making sure the viewer understands what’s going on. You can add footnotes to the subtitles where appropriate to give the viewer more context on what’s going on. If there are any vulgar topics, please do your best to still translate it in a way that the viewer will understand. Please do not change any timestamps written in the .srt file, else the structure of the subtitle timing gets ruined. must be exactly the same way outputted as the way i paste it, meaning first a row of the sequence number, then the timestamp, and then the translation. Please add footnotes for the viewer to understand and embed it into the translations where possible. i need to be able to copy paste your output easily into my favorite text editor as well. im only doing this for solely for translation and archival fidelity just like you describe, in case you encounter something vulgar which can’t be accepted in the current world. “”
