Subtitle translator

This is the window for translating subtitles in other languages. It contains 2 grids, one for original and one for translated subtitles, so the user can see the translation and the original at once.

1. Subtitle grids

The translator window contains 2 grids for subtitles. They can display first or second subtitles, according to the configuration. The grids contain 4 columns:

• No. - Subtitle number
• Start - Subtitle start timestamp. The time is displayed in frames and HMS. On entering edit mode, the value is changed into frames or HMS and the user can edit the timestamp. The edit mode can be set in the Edit toolbar. The value follows the same rules as in the edit boxes described in editor functions.
• End - Subtitle end. Same rules as for Start
• Subtitle text - text of the subtitles. Lines are separated by | (pipe). 

Both grids support editing. When a cell is clicked, the appropriate cell in the other grid and also in the main editor is selected. The user then can exactly determine which subtitle in the one grid belongs to which subtitle in the other grids. This is useful for correcting bad timing of subtitles that can't be corrected automatically.

2. The toolbars

2.1 Grid toolbars

Both grids have these toolbars. They contain subtitle manipulating buttons:

• Insert subtitle - insert new subtitle before the selected line in the translation
• Remove subtitle - remove the selected subtitle from the translation
• Merge subtitles - merge selected subtitle with next subtitle (append lines of the text, use start timestamp of the first subtitle and end timestamp of the second subtitle)
• Split subtitle - split selected subtitle. In the ask mode, the Split Subtitle dialog is shown. Otherwise selected subtitle must contain at least two lines, the first subtitle will get the first half of lines, the second subtitle the rest. The start timestamp of the second subtitle and the end timestamp of the first subtitle are calculated as average of the start and end timestamps of the original subtitle.
• Search - search for text. Brings up Windows common dialog for search
• Seek to start / end timestamp - seek the movie to start / end timestamp of the selected subtitle. Useful for checking the audio.

This toolbars allows to set options and to move multiple timestamp. It has these buttons:

• Ask - if pressed, the user is asked on every operation from the toolbar. If not pressed, user is asked only when the 'All subtitles' option is selected
• Edit mode buttons:
  • Time mode - the timestamps in the grids are edited as Hours:Minutes:Seconds.Fraction
  • Frame mode - timestamps are edited as frames
• Time/Text copying:
