SSARomeo - Multilanguage ssa demuxer

Project Origin: The hope that this tool will simplify life of fansub people and get closer with work on ssa by beeing independant of the language. Common parts of subs can be shared, like the timing ..let's do it by sharing the simplified SSA and enjoy the script by saving time. Yours faithfully...Linuxworld

OVERVIEW

This script generates automatically the styles and the subs for a choosen language from a substation alpha file (.ssa).
This will provide the bridge for fansubs from many countries to avoid loosing time by timing for each language..
Here you just need to translate each text into the language and use separator as language delimiter.
So there is no chance to make mistakes when you attribute characters for one line of dialog..
