The initial functionality was completed on my last PR. I am working on finishing up the multi-language support with the SubtitlesDisplay and SubtitlesControl components I added to the components/Player directory.

I am going to set up a audio-to-text and translations endpoint in the /api/livepeer/subtitles directory and call them from the FildUpload#handleUpload() method.

Will update you I am done and submit a PR.
