Translating without paying for an API key.

[rgfx]

Always translating English to Spanish subs, I need a programmatic way to translate subtitles again now that our overlords decided to charge for that service, after having us continually refining their AI.

Does anyone know a good way to do this, without paying for an API key.

Thanks.

Our overlords are smart ;)

Latest version of SE can do some free translating via GT - but do check the plugins:

• GT screen-scraper, Google translate, requires .net framework 4.6.2 or later + Win10 with April update
• BT screen-scraper, Bing Translate
• DeepL screen-scraper, requires .net framework 4.6.2 or later + Win10 with April update
• PROMPT translate, requires .net framework 4.6.2 or later + Win10 with April update
• Baidu translate

Also, the copy-paste translate plugin should work with most translation web pages - see #3246

There's also a few comments about translating in this thread: https://github.com/SubtitleEdit/subtitleedit/issues/3209

What about win 7 ?

[niksedk]

GT screen-scraper and DeepL screen-scraper will only work on Win 10 (with 2018 April update) - the rest should work.

Why win 10 only, win 10 is crap. Never mind.

does this have a solution? after translating multiple files with google, the program returns an error about free api quota exceeded . I'm pretty sure setting a 2.5 seconds pause between each call to the api will solve this...
