Youtube is now become a major, most viewed, free video streaming website in the universe. It is complete, mobile, and rich featured, including subtitle/caption. And then, there is a simple question, how to download Youtube subtitle/caption in Linux? Apparently, there is an application called Google2SRT . It is officialy a Ms. Windows application, but thanks to the developer it's built with Java so it's mobile and could be ran in any other operating system using JVM (Java Virtual Machine). For the sake of ease, I've been 'ported' the application into Linux (.deb), and could be easily installed in any Debian based Linux distribution. Here are the steps to install : 1. Download the package HERE . 2. Install the dependency : sudo apt-get install icedtea-plugin 3. Install the package : sudo dpkg -i google2srt_0.7.4_all.deb 4. Just copy and paste the Youtube URL, press Go.

Java archive (.jar), in the past, was a very popular format, especially for Java based mobile cellphone and Symbian based cellphone. It's a mobile and portable format, and could also used to build a desktop (PC) application. For you Linux folks, if you found a java based application with .jar formatted, it's very easy to run the file. Here are the steps to run .jar file in Linux : 1. Install IcedTea (open source version of Java Virtual Machine) sudo apt-get install icedtea-plugin 2. Open terminal, and run the .jar file with following command : java -jar file.jar Google2SRT , a desktop application to download and convert Youtube's subtitle / caption into a srt file, running under Linux. It's officialy a Microsoft Windows application build using Java.
