Magpie Dictionary

An online dictionary based on the subtitle translations from the The Magpie Bridge Brigade. Built in Go.

The goal of this project is to provide subtitle translations by comparing translated text side-by-side. It supports a proprietary format that allows subtitles from different time slices to be compared, please see DATA_FORMAT.md. This data file can be produced by scripts from the CompareSBV project.
