I have an AVI movie soundtrack that is in French. It has no subtitles, but I would like to translate the french into English and make English subtitles. Help and thanks

You'll have to translate and add the timings.
The start and end time that each line should
be on the screen.
The SRT subtitle format is very simple, just plain text.
Here's an example.

1
00:01:17,391 --> 00:01:22,021
There is mist over the hills,

2
00:01:22,631 --> 00:01:26,624
It raises mist over the hills.

Your original post doesn't state whether or not you speak
french. The answer to the question, and the proper context,
depends on that info.

If you can find the subs in another language,
put it through an internet automatic translator, clean it up,
and you should be done.

If you can't find ANY subs, but you can speak french, you can write out
all the dialogue and do your french > English translation.
Surely, this is obvious ?

No, I don't speak French. That's why I need English subtitles, Thanks for your help.

Have you checked the sub sites for this movie?
As I mentioned, even if you can't find English, you can download
something else and attempt to put it through one of the
online translators and create it that way.

Good luck with it. It's going to take a lot of work.
