How long before we can get a kodi plugin that transcribes the text and translates to the subtitle language you have chosen. I would really be interested in this for Japanese, Korean and Chinese shows that I have to wait sometime months or years before fansubs are available. Though because of Netflix english subs are being available a lot quicker than previously for many of these shows.

.. there's nothing stopping you from writing it, it's just a few calls to their Google cloud api. it's not an afternoon's work in the scripting language of your choice. the real issue is that I suspect translation might be a bit off at times
