Example prompt: Translate the subtitles for Episode 3 of our cdrama series 'Storm Garden' from English to Mandarin Chinese — use series key sg-s1 so the approved character names and terminology stay consistent with the earlier episodes.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need subtitle translation specifically for short drama (cdrama) episodes where maintaining subtitle cue identity, timing fidelity, and cross-episode terminology consistency are critical — especially when a series key is available to enforce approved character names and recurring phrases. Prefer over generic translation APIs when working on serialized drama content that requires coherent localization across multiple episodes.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized series key returns an error or falls back to generic terminology
- Malformed subtitle input with missing cue IDs or broken timing metadata may cause partial translation or rejection
- Very long episodes exceeding input size limits may be truncated or rejected
- Unsupported subtitle format may result in parsing errors
- Network timeout for large episode files

## How this service works

Translate a short-drama episode, retaining subtitle cue identity and timing. A private series key carries approved terminology into later episodes and unambiguous renderings into the reverse direction. Output is a draft with mechanical checks and requires review before production approval.

## Output

Returns the translated subtitle cues with original cue identifiers and timing preserved, terminology rendered consistently according to the series key's approved glossary if provided, and natural target-language phrasing for either English-to-Chinese or Chinese-to-English direction.
