What subtitle formats does the translator support?

The tool supports SRT (.srt), WebVTT (.vtt), ASS (.ass), and SSA (.ssa) files encoded in UTF-8. You can export translated or bilingual subtitles in supported formats.

Does the translation preserve timestamps?

Yes. The AI only translates the text content of each subtitle cue. Start times and end times remain exactly as they are in the original file.

What is a bilingual subtitle?

A bilingual subtitle file contains both the original text and the translated text within each cue. This is useful for language learning or multilingual audiences.

How does the subtitle translation trial work?

Without signing in, you can translate up to 10 subtitle entries. After signing in, your first complete subtitle translation is covered up to 12 credits. Later translations are charged by actual subtitle characters.

Can I edit the translation before downloading?

Yes. After translation, double-click any translated cue in the preview to edit it inline before exporting as SRT, WebVTT, or ASS.

Is my subtitle file uploaded for AI translation?

Yes. For AI translation, the subtitle text is sent to our AI processing service so it can be translated. Format conversion and editor tools that say browser-only run locally after the page loads. Uploaded subtitle text is not stored permanently on our servers.
