request: add pauses

[glsf91]

When using 2 small sentences the pause is not long enough in google translate and also with this (great) tool.
Can you not make it possible to add a configurable pause. The program have to add the pause by itself because google is not doing this.
For example:
This is sentence 1 <@Pause:5> This is sentence 2 after 5 seconds pause.

So the program has to:

• translate first part at google
• generate a 5 sec pause
• translate second part at google
• combine this in the output file

Define pause in ms would be better, but depends on the solutions.

That will be a great feature I think.

I agree! I've been asked that a lot, and I've decided to give it a shot, soon-ish (working on 2.0.0 for the moment). It would probably work using Speech Synthesis Markup Language (SSML) or an SSML-like syntax. So no need for something like <@pause:5>. In SSML that would be <break time="5s"/> 😃

That is great.
It was just an example.

Any updates on this issue?
SSML integration will make this tool much more powerful and useful!

Voting for this, SSML as input will be awesome. Thanks for the great work pndurette.

Dying for an SSML update! I think it would make many people very happy!

Any update. Whether SSML supported or not?

you could even import time for that
time.sleep(1)
in between the sentences to sleep

@pndurette Hi It's been a few years. I wonder if this feature has been implemented. (I could not find it on the document)
Thanks!
