Open-source ComfyUI pack that performs a scene of Shakespeare as a radio play: voices, captions, credits, finished video.
English uses the Folger text. For Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, and Chinese, when the scene is in the vendored corpus the spoken lines are a named public-domain translator (Jose Arnaldo Marquez, Francois-Victor Hugo, Carlo Rusconi, Domingos Ramos / Luis I, Tsubouchi Shoyo, Zhu Shenghao, and others). Each episode writes a receipt with the translator, the year, and a hash of the text. Scenes not yet vendored are translated once and then performed verbatim, with both hashes recorded, so a human edition and a machine pass cannot be confused.
The point is fidelity to a named edition, not a better paraphrase.
