Translate .srt subtitle files while preserving sequence numbers, timecodes, encoding, and line breaks. The workflow translates subtitle text only. It does not create transcripts from audio or video, so prepare an SRT file first and review the translated captions in context before delivery.
Keep the timing track intact
Subtitle sequence numbers and start/end timestamps remain part of the output so the file can be opened in your subtitle review workflow.
Preserve subtitle structure
Line breaks and file encoding are retained. Read the result with the target video because language expansion can still affect line length and readability.
Start from a prepared SRT file
Upload the existing .srt subtitle file. Audio transcription, video editing, dubbing, and timing adjustments are outside this translation workflow.
A practical SRT subtitle translation workflow
Export a clean .srt file
Remove accidental duplicate captions and make sure source timecodes match the video before translation.
Keep technical fields unchanged
The service translates the subtitle text while keeping numbering, timestamps, encoding, and line-break structure in place.
Watch the target-language captions
Check names, numbers, terminology, reading speed, and long lines with the actual video before publishing.
Current file boundary
- Supported self-service format:
.srtonly, up to 20 MB. - Use a clean UTF-8-compatible source file whenever possible.
- VTT, ASS, SSA, audio, and video files are not part of the current SRT translation input.
Translate the subtitle file, then check it in the video
Subtitle timing is preserved, but a translated line can be longer or shorter than the original. Review the final captions in the target player and adjust for readability where needed.
Frequently asked questions
Check the current file boundary and the review steps before processing a full document.
Does SRT translation transcribe audio or video?
No. It translates the text in an existing .srt subtitle file. Prepare the subtitle file first; transcription, dubbing, video editing, and timing adjustment are outside this workflow.
Are subtitle timecodes preserved?
Yes. Sequence numbers, timecodes, encoding, and line breaks are kept in the translated .srt output. Review the result with the target video because language length can affect readability.
Which subtitle formats are currently supported?
The self-service subtitle input currently supports .srt files up to 20 MB. VTT, ASS, SSA, audio, and video files are not supported as SRT translation input.
