Automatic Subtitle creation and translation (to English) with OpenAI’s Whisper

I’ve been having the issue over the last decades that the available subtitles from the well known sites are quite often not suitable for the videos that I have saved locally. Often downloaded videos, especially from YouTube, don’t have sub-titles, which is a requirement in my household, as we speak different languages.
