• Google announced earlier this week that there is finally an iPhone app for Google Translate. It can translate the spoken word in 15 languages, as well as the comprehensive text translations available.
• A new javascript library that helps render subtitles over web videos has been released called popcorn-js. Version 0.3 was released earlier this week. Inspired by OpenSubtitles’ support of various formats, popcorn-js can now parse the filetypes SRT, WebVTT (previously known as WebSRT), SSA, ASS, SBV, and TTML. Git repository can be found here.
