Subtitle translator

Translate video subtitles without losing the timing

Turn what is said in your video into subtitles in another language — 133+ of them — with every line still landing on the moment it was spoken. No transcript to prepare, no subtitle file to hunt down, no account.

Reach past one language

A video captioned only in the language it was recorded in is invisible to everyone who doesn't speak it. Translated subtitles are the cheapest way to change that — the audio, the edit, and the upload all stay exactly as they are.

Timing that survives translation

Each spoken line keeps its own start and end time, so the translated text lands on the moment it belongs to. Nothing drifts ahead of the speaker or lags a sentence behind.

Burned in or as a file

Burn the translation into the picture for feeds that autoplay muted, or export a translated SRT or VTT and let the platform's player offer it as a subtitle track. You get both from the same project.

One video, several languages

Generate once, then switch the caption language and export again. Each switch is translated from the original spoken words, not from the last translation, so accuracy doesn't drift.

Subtitles, translation, or both?

Three jobs get confused with each other. Transcription writes down what was said, in the language it was said in. Subtitling splits that text into readable lines and times them to the video. Translation rewrites those lines into another language.

Doing them separately is where sync gets lost: translate a transcript on its own and you get a paragraph nobody can line back up with the video. Here all three happen in one pass, so the translated lines inherit the timing that was measured from the audio.

Need only the first two? The subtitle generator covers same-language SRT and VTT, and transcribe video covers plain transcripts.

Who uses translated subtitles

Creators posting to more than one market

Short-form video travels further than its language does. Publishing the same clip with Urdu, Spanish, or Arabic captions puts it in front of audiences the original never reached.

Teams sharing recordings internationally

Product walkthroughs, training clips, and recorded briefings often need to be understood by colleagues who work in another language — subtitles are usually enough, and far quicker than re-recording.

Interviews and documentaries

When the speaker's own voice matters, subtitles are the honest option: viewers hear the real delivery and read the meaning, instead of a dubbed voice replacing the person on screen.

Learning and accessibility

Translated captions help language learners follow along, and on-screen text keeps a video usable for anyone watching without sound.

Machine translation gets everyday speech right most of the time — every line stays editable, so slang and specialist terms are yours to correct before exporting.
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between translated captions and dubbing?+

Translated captions keep the original audio and put the meaning on screen as text. Dubbing replaces the voice track. Captions are faster, cheaper, and keep the speaker's real voice — which is why most social platforms lean on them.

Will translated subtitles help my video reach more people?+

They open your video to viewers who don't speak the language it was recorded in, and because most feeds autoplay muted, on-screen text is also what keeps viewers watching in any language.

Can I export the translation as an SRT file instead of burning it in?+

Yes. Every project exports translated SRT and VTT files alongside the captioned MP4, so you can upload subtitles to YouTube or another platform instead of, or as well as, burning them into the picture.

How accurate is the translation?+

It is machine translation, so it is strong on everyday speech and weaker on slang, wordplay, and specialist terminology. Every line is editable, so you can correct anything that doesn't read naturally before exporting.

Can I show two languages at once?+

Not as two separate caption tracks in one export. You can, however, export the same video twice with different caption languages, or export subtitle files in several languages and let the platform's player offer the choice.

Does translating change the caption style I picked?+

No. Templates, fonts, colors, animation, and position all stay exactly as you set them — only the words change.
