Timing stays, words change
Only the text of each caption is translated. Start times, end times and the number of captions are identical to your file, and the tool refuses a result in which any caption went missing.
Subtitle translator
Translate a caption file into another language and keep every timestamp where it was.
- Free, no account
Caption translation is paused for now. Every other caption tool still works.
Caption files up to 2 MB: SRT, WebVTT, YouTube SBV or ASS.
Caption text is sent to the configured AI service when you press Translate. Studio does not save it; provider retention follows that service’s policy.

Getting a good result
It is machine translation
The translation is written by an AI model. It handles everyday speech well and stumbles on names, wordplay, slang and technical terms. Have someone who speaks the language read it before it goes on a video that represents you.
Translated captions run longer
Many languages need more characters than English to say the same thing, so a caption that was comfortable to read can become too fast. The tool counts how many translated captions now exceed the reading limits and points you to the readability checker.
00:40Questions
Subtitle translator: common questions
Which languages?
English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Turkish, Indonesian, Russian, Ukrainian, Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, Arabic, Japanese, Korean, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Vietnamese and Thai.
What does the original language need to be?
Any. The model works out the source language from the text.
Is my text stored?
No. Caption text is sent to our AI service when you press Translate and is not kept afterwards. Timestamps are not sent.
How long a file can I translate?
Up to 2,400 captions an hour. If a long file stops partway, press the button again and it carries on from where it stopped.
