Subtitle line length fixer.

Subtitle convention is 42 characters per line for Latin scripts, about 20 for CJK, two lines maximum. Auto-captions and translations from other tools often break it. Single-line cues over the limit are split near the middle at a space or punctuation; cues that already have two lines and still overflow are left alone and counted for you.

Questions

What about cues that overflow even with two lines?
They need to be split into two cues (timing split). Use the quality check tool to find them and split in your editor.
Where does it break the line?
At the space or punctuation closest to the middle of the line; for CJK it also considers particles and clause marks.
Does the translator follow this rule?
Yes, SubFlip translations respect line length by default. This tool is for output from other tools.
