- 🖥️ **CLI Support**: Full command-line interface for easy automation and scripting.
- ⚙️ **Customizable**: Tune model parameters, adjust batch size, and access other advanced settings.
- 🎞️ **SRT Extraction**: Extract and translate SRT subtitles from video files automatically (requires [FFmpeg](https://ffmpeg.org/)).
- 🎵 **Audio Context**: Extract audio from a video file or provide your own to improve translation accuracy (requires [FFmpeg](https://ffmpeg.org/)).

## 📦 Installation

### Basic:

```sh
pip install --upgrade gemini-srt-translator
```

### Recommended: Use a Virtual Environment

It's best practice to use a virtual environment. This is especially recommended as gemini-srt-translator installs several dependencies that could potentially conflict with your existing packages:

```sh
# Create a virtual environment
python -m venv venv

# Activate the virtual environment
# On Windows:
venv\Scripts\activate
# On macOS/Linux:
source venv/bin/activate

# Install inside the virtual environment
pip install --upgrade gemini-srt-translator
```

## 🔑 How to Get Your API Key

1. Go to [Google AI Studio](https://aistudio.google.com/apikey).
2. Sign in with your Google account.
3. Click on **Generate API Key**.
4. Copy and keep your key safe.

### 🔐 Setting Your API Key

You can provide your API key in several ways:

1. **Environment Variable (Recommended)**: Set the `GEMINI_API_KEY` environment variable. This is the most secure and recommended method.

- **macOS/Linux:**

  ```bash
  export GEMINI_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"
  export GEMINI_API_KEY2="your_second_api_key_here"
  ```

- **Windows (Command Prompt):**

  ```cmd
  set GEMINI_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
  set GEMINI_API_KEY2=your_second_api_key_here
  ```

- **Windows (PowerShell):**
  ```powershell
  $env:GEMINI_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"
  $env:GEMINI_API_KEY2="your_second_api_key_here"  # Optional for additional quota
  ```

2. **Command Line Argument**: Use the `-k` or `--api-key` flag

   ```bash
   gst translate -i subtitle.srt -l French -k YOUR_API_KEY
   ```

3. **Interactive Prompt**: The tool will prompt you if no key is found

   ```bash
   gst translate -i subtitle.srt -l French
   ```

4. **Python API**: Set the `gemini_api_key` variable in your script

   ```python
   import gemini_srt_translator as gst
   gst.gemini_api_key = "your_api_key_here"
   ```

---

## 🚀 Quick Start

### 🖥️ Using the Command Line Interface (CLI)

#### Basic Translation

```bash
# Using environment variable (recommended)
export GEMINI_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"
gst translate -i subtitle.srt -l French

# Using command line argument
gst translate -i subtitle.srt -l French -k YOUR_API_KEY

# Set output file name
gst translate -i subtitle.srt -l French -o translated_subtitle.srt

# Extract subtitles from video and translate (requires FFmpeg)
gst translate -v movie.mp4 -l Spanish

# Extract and use audio from video for context (requires FFmpeg)
gst translate -v movie.mp4 -l Spanish --extract-audio

# Interactive model selection
gst translate -i subtitle.srt -l "Brazilian Portuguese" --interactive

# Resume translation from a specific line
gst translate -i subtitle.srt -l French --start-line 20

# Suppress output
gst translate -i subtitle.srt -l French --quiet
```

#### Advanced Options

```bash
# Full-featured translation with custom settings
gst translate \
  -i input.srt \
  -v video.mp4 \
  -l French \
  -k YOUR_API_KEY \
  -k2 YOUR_SECOND_API_KEY \
  -o output_french.srt \
  --model gemini-2.5-pro \
  --batch-size 150 \
  --temperature 0.7 \
  --description "Medical TV series, use medical terminology" \
  --progress-log \
  --thoughts-log \
  --extract-audio \
```

#### CLI Help

```bash
# Show all available commands and options
gst --help

# Show specific command help
gst translate --help
```

### 🐍 Using Python API

#### Translating an SRT file

```python
import gemini_srt_translator as gst

gst.gemini_api_key = "your_api_key_here"
gst.target_language = "French"
gst.input_file = "subtitle.srt"

gst.translate()
```

#### Resuming an Interrupted Translation

Just run again with the same parameters, or specify the start line:

```python
import gemini_srt_translator as gst

gst.gemini_api_key = "your_api_key_here"
gst.target_language = "French"
gst.input_file = "subtitle.srt"
gst.start_line = 20

gst.translate()
```
