Comparing 2 texts in Subtitle Edit Nov 1

Hello,

I am new to Subtitle Edit (and almost new to Windows...)
I have to edit French machine-translated subtitles.
When I request a comparison with the original English text, a new dedicated window is opening, which is only displaying the two texts, not the video. It is not convenient.
Is there a way to get the two texts + the video in the same, main window?
N.B:
-I am using the latest SE version
-I have to use the MT text I was given; I am not... See more

-I have to use the MT text I was given; I am not allowed to generate a new MT translation in SE.

Many thanks ▲ Collapse

Hi Géraldine,

You can open two subtitle files side by side in SE by going to File > Open original subtitle (translator mode).

Forewarning Nov 1

I probably should forewarn everyone that in translator mode, SE would overwrite the original subtitle if you made any changes. Let's say I want to translate a subtitle file in SRT format. Here's what I would do:

1. Copy the original subtitle file and rename it as filename (master template).srt, or something along those lines.
2. So now I have filename.srt and filename (master template).srt.
3. Open filename.srt through the File --> Open... See more

3. Open filename.srt through the File --> Open menu.
4. Open filename (master template).srt through the File --> Open original subtitle (translator mode) menu.

That way, I can keep the original file intact.

Translator mode in SE Nov 1

1. First of all, make sure you have three files in one folder: video, English subs and French MT subs.
2. Once done, double click the French MT subs file to open SE.
3. Click the Video tab, select Open video file.
4. Go to the File tab, select Open original subtitle (translator mode), browse to the English subs file.
That's it. Now you have two columns with English source on the right, French target on the left, and the video.

By default, the original text opens in the right column, unlike in most CAT tools. You can swap the columns with the mouse but you can't swap the boxes below the columns where you type your translation. This makes the ability to swap columns actually useless. Therefore you have to be very careful not to edit the right column/box.
