So, after the reply, I have a look at the format itself. "Unhammer builds Gaupol extension," I think, "now out-of-date. Rob spends two hours building outmoded software. Are we trying too hard?"
https://github.com/rcrowther/apertiumSrt It's a small SRT-format parser embedded in a Python3 script. The script reads a file, then writes a new file with Apertium superblanks inserted. Then you can run the new superblanked file through Apertium. If you have an installed Apertium, the script can invoke the install and write a complete translated SRT file. That's it. Now I got 'Stagecoach', Jane Austen's 'Emma', and 'Die Hard', translated. New Wiki page! http://wiki.apertium.org/wiki/Translating_subtitles_intro One day maybe I'll have the computer and the justification to do this to Apertium's input/output formatting [sigh]...
