PotPlayer_ChatGPT_Translate

Why we included this project

This plugin exists for people who watch foreign-language video with subtitles and want the text in their own language without waiting for separate translation files. It plugs into PotPlayer and translates each subtitle line on the fly while the video plays. Instead of pre-translating anything, you set up a model, choose source and target languages, and let it work through the episode. Because it accepts any model that works with the OpenAI chat/completions API, you can use a hosted service or run a local model like Ollama, which helps if you care about privacy or per-request costs. The plugin can also feed earlier lines into the model as context, giving more accurate translations than line-by-line output. Setup is automated: the installer drops the script into PotPlayer's subtitle extension folder, so non-developers can get working translated subtitles without touching code.
