If anyone here can read/write Hebrew or Arabic, I would be delighted with some assistance.  There appear to be good-quality (what I'd call "verified") graphical Special Edition subs out there (and I have some for SW, with more on the way), but converting them into text and retiming them to the GOUT may be the death of me.  They aren't useful as graphical-only subs because they're SE subs, so it's convert & retime them, or nothing.  Also, RTL scripts make my head hurt.

The help I need would involve taking an English template, and either transcribing the translations from a graphical image of the translated subtitle, or pasting in an OCR'd version of those subs, and making manual corrections as needed.  You wouldn't actually have to do much translation at all, because that's already done.

I'll try my best on my own of course, but I might not get very far.
