You can just re-time it
timing for a 30sec-clip should be as easy as a joke
well, but there should be some tools to convert the sub speed

just send me the English version and the raw,
then i ll translate it by myself, into English
as for 25fps, you dont have to worry, because i can time it by myself
tho i do need the raw to do that

Unfortunately we have no Korean/Chinese translators
but...

* French
* Spanish
* Portugese
* Danish
* Swedish
* Finnish
* Czech

all of these in your list are of W. Europe as Windows code page
if you want to show Matroska s power, how about adding Russian or Polish 
or Hungarian or Ukrainian?
I think my friends from these lang areas could help you :)
