How to translate subtitles online

Subtitle translation works best when the translated text stays short enough to read during the original timing. Automatic Subtitles translates subtitle text while keeping timestamps and cue order intact.

Translate subtitles

Steps

  1. Upload an existing subtitle file, or create one from audio, video, or a YouTube link.
  2. Choose the target language and the AI translation provider you want to use.
  3. Start the translation job. The app keeps the subtitle timestamps and replaces the cue text.
  4. Download the translated SRT or VTT file.
  5. Review fast sections, names, technical terms, and jokes because these often need manual polish.

Why subtitle translation is different

A normal document translation can be long and literal. Subtitles need to be concise, readable, and timed. A good translated subtitle may use fewer words than the original sentence while preserving the meaning. This is especially important for news clips, interviews, courses, and social videos with fast speech.
