LibVLC-based LingoPie rip-off Instantly translate foreign subtitles while watching.

May or may not use Python (we primarily use C)
Uses Python EXTENSIVELY (for the mean time)

Phase 1 (prototype phase)

• find libvlc-based python player on github and clone
• add text-displaying widget to pyqt5 player
• process srt files
• synch srt to video
• fix crashes when pausing player
• integrate translation API

Demo

Phase 2 (prototype phase)

• break down subtitle text into EDUs (Elementary Discourse Units) using pretrained text segementation model.
• integrate language transformer models (prioritize French)
• OR use unofficial google translate API
• translate on-click (i.e., when you click on a word in the subtitle, it will show an instant translation of the word or of the whole phrase)
• translate upon hovering on word. scroll through possible translations and their definitions.

Phase 3

• modify VLC source code to render subtitles as in the prototype
