Subtitles are a convinient and engaging method to understand a foreign language content where language audio translations may not be available.
This script uses Frengly free translation REST API to translate line by line all the content of the .srt subtitle file. Since this code used free translation API subsequent translation requests have an interval of three seconds therefore translation time is 3*number_of_lines_translated (Frengly supports about 38 languages)
