Feature Request: AI-Powered Bengali Subtitle Translation #3128

Description

Describe your suggested feature

Hi CloudStream developers,

I have a feature request that could be very useful for users who watch movies in languages where Bengali subtitles are often unavailable.

Would it be possible to add an AI-powered automatic subtitle translation feature to CloudStream?

For example:

English Subtitle → AI Translation → Bengali Subtitle

If a movie has English subtitles but no Bengali subtitles, CloudStream could optionally use an AI translation service to translate them into natural Bengali and display them directly in the player.

It would be especially useful for Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada and other South Indian movies, where Bengali subtitles are often difficult to find.

Ideally, the AI should preserve the meaning, context, emotion, timing, and character relationships, rather than simply translating word-for-word.

I understand that this may be technically challenging and may require an external AI API, so even an optional feature would be greatly appreciated.

This feature would make CloudStream much more accessible for Bengali-speaking users.

Thank you for your hard work and for continuously improving CloudStream! 🙏
