[deleted] wow that's a huge collection of chinese subtitles

thanks for sharing.

If you guys need help with translations, feel free to hit me up. I am a native Japanese speaker and have done some translations for JAV Subtitled (not my site, they are my client) and a also shared some of my work on Subtitlecat

Here's a sample of my work on Akiba-online too:

      I'm broke as fuck, but I'd love to see SLR add translations to the crazy TMAVR videos, like the "measurements" series and the "counting anal wrinkles" series.

      It's kinda insane that the videos still aren't downloadable, given the state of R18.

      Crazy, niche stuff, I know. But that's why I'm curious.

        eos666 Subtitles feature is expected with the next app update or around that. It will work locally. Then will make it work on the server side of things. Potentially we can get some luck with autogenerated subtitles. Should be really good for Japanese which is researched quite well.

        @ZENRA still interested creating subtitles?

          Auto-generated is fine by me. I have separated the audio of some files and uploaded it to YouTube for auto-generation, but YouTube has implemented copyright protection that doesn't allow that anymore, because it recognizes the music (not the voices).

          Your studio files are MKV, so they are ideal for embedded subtitles.

          I'd say your best option is autogenerated. It's cheap. Really cheap. Google will do it automatically through Youtube.

            [deleted] I think auto-generated subtitles may actually work for VR unlike many 2D JAV movies for these reasons:

            • The majority of VR consists of a mute actor and a talking actress.
            • Sound quality is quite good (closed set, microphone right by the action).
            • Themes generally are simpler lending to potentially more accurate auto-translations.

            Conversely, this applies less in 2D JAV. Drama movies may see good results with auto-translation, but the further you go from that, the harder it gets. I can't imagine the output of auto-translation if it's some type of big group movie filmed with one far away microphone and with people talking over each other (think Magic Mirror with multiple (3+) performers). When and where would a new line start if you have overlapping dialog? What if two people sound alike? On-screen captions are another big issue.

            Either way, from my experience subtitling well over 1000 movies, I can tell anyone reading the most annoying thing in the world is correcting bad timing. It's pretty much easier to manually re-do a line than trying to fix one. For VR that requires full immersion, you absolutely don't want any mistakes--be it unnatural translations or strange timing. It should be as slick as the subtitles one sees in a major motion picture which thus could make auto-translation less appealing.

                I have tested some JAV VRs with Google AI to translate the audio to Japanese text, and DeepL Translator for Japanese text to my native language, and it translates 60 to 70% of the text well.

                But I think that there is some kind of censorship, because the "dirty" phrases are almost never translated.

                  Natch 70% accurate (not to mention the timing) may be OK for fan-subbing, but for a site like this, would be unsatisfactory. I could imagine perhaps an auto solution being used for all movies and movies that are especially popular receiving a specialized manual treatment.

                      ZENRA

                      Exactly

                      • VR audio is high quality (even in JAV)
                      • Auto-generation is usually fine for time-stamping
                      • VR tends to be monologue-driven, vs dialogue

                      How about generating some AI texts for this thread? Love to hear more if you can suggest a non-Google method.

                          [deleted] Auto-generation may lead to time stamps too short if there are few ways to fiddle with it. Good timing results in captions that begin the moment dialog starts, but end slightly after rather than ending right no the dot as it could make the viewer feel rushed. Users could get turned off if the subtitles are not up to quality and is a reason why I think when it comes to them, a "less is more if less = high quality and more = lots of questionable quality" is the safer option for long-term adoption.

                            ZENRA Yes, of course, a 70% translation is not acceptable at a professional level. It is a fact that I have put as a curiosity, for personal translations that is better than nothing...

                              doublevr +1 for JAV Subs. Maybe with the usage of AI sex toy scripts, something similar can be done with JAV subs. The intimacy from JAV videos is something I love from them that I don't really get from US/EU content.

                                        Any update on the streaming subtitles?
                                        There is some really great JAV content with SRT files available.

                                          Now that subtitles works on the new deovr update where can I request for subtitles for specific video: (Husband Wife Couples Sexual Massage with Therapists via One-Way Mirror)
