I'm a subtitle translator in Sri Lanka. So, I used Subtitle Edit (http://www.nikse.dk/subtitleedit) in Windows to create/edit/translate subtitles into Sinhala language.

But, is it possible to install it in Ubuntu? I have the latest version of Ubuntu with all updates.

Tested on Ubuntu 14.04.2 64-bit.

Installing mono from Terminal:

sudo apt-get install mono-complete

Download the portable version from https://github.com/SubtitleEdit/subtitleedit/releases.

Unzip the downloaded file and double click SubtitleEdit.exe.

Unlike other subtitle editors Subtitle Edit supports WebVTT (.vtt) files.

You can get the Ubuntu compatible version here:

http://www.digital-digest.com/software/download.php?sid=1682&ssid=0&did=48

At the moment, this is 3.2 not 3.3 like you requested, but one user writes:

This works well for me on Ubuntu, but my knowledge of Linux is rather small, so... ;)

The comments also suggest that the package requires Mono:

  • Will you please help me to install the package "Mono" ? I'm a newbie to Ubuntu and I don't know much yet. I visited to the link as @danielhanly.com mentioned. But there is no download link for Ubuntu. And please help me to install the Subtitle Edit also.

    For people interested in writing/translating subtitles, I can also recommend gnome-subtitles. I've used this program in the past, and it can do everything I need it to do. :) You can install it by searching for Gnome Subtitles in the Ubuntu software center, or by issuing the command sudo apt-get install gnome-subtitles in a terminal (hit Ctrl+Alt+T to open a terminal).

They now have a snap that just works https://snapcraft.io/install/subtitle-edit/ubuntu

sudo snap install --edge subtitle-edit

Tested on Ubuntu 20.10, that currently installed Subtitle Edit 3.5.
