Most importantly, I have to make short sentences. The dialogues are so fast, I have only 2 seconds per sentence and that's one less than normal. Sometimes I even squeeze a short sentence in 1.5 seconds.
I thought I could just make two rows of subtitles, but it's all not as easy as I thought it would be.
I'm at 00:02:34.5. After two and a half hours.

Why don't you two just kiss and make up?
Is probably the snappiest and most English way of saying it.
?
But it's not Doris.
Bl'mmin' eck. Well, kudos to you anyhoo. I wouldn't have the first clue where to start!
Yeah, it's more complicated than I originally thought.
Well, I'll finish this one and then look out for better software.

Now this is a bit embarrassing. But I'm under the vague impression that "Hello" isn't used in the same way as "Hallo".
Would you, for example, say "Hello" to your brother on his entering the kitchen.
What about "Hello there"?
I probably wouldn't say anything, to be honest!
Usually, quicker and easier is the better. So "Hey" at most. Hello/hallo would just be different spelling of the same word based on regional pronounciation.

Oh, sorry. I meant between the English "Hello" and the German "Hallo".
It's a bit of an awkward moment. You've just talked about someone, who then walks in. In such a moment you might say something a bit stilted.
Would "Hello! Aaron!" express that?
Yep, that sounds like it'd work. 
What's chav speak for "..., isn't she?"?
What's the whole sentence? Context of it?
"She's fit, isn't she?"
I also need to know, whether CHAV2 would answer "Indeed." to that. Seems odd.
Methinks I need to watch the Catherine Tate Show.
Oh God. I'm awful with poor-person words. Erm.
I'm not sure if it would actually be posed as a question like that? More like just a statement; "She's fiiiiit!"
As for the response, "Indeed" sounds unliely, but I have no idea I'm afraid. Maybe one of our Northern members will be able to help.
Fit? Like in shape? I don't think I've ever heard anyone use that before. I'd just say "she's hot" or other words that describe burning or warm sensations.
Fit is in common usage in Chavland.
Reply - "Yeah - right" or "Defo"!
"Fit" = "sexy" = "hot" = "shaggable" etc etc.
