Video Subtitle Translator for Editable Captions
A video subtitle translator creates a translated text track while leaving the spoken language in the video unchanged.
Translate a video
Free 30s watermarked preview · No sign-up. Full video downloads: MP4 + SRT.
Upload your own clip, start with the Spanish preset, and review sentences as they become available. This mode skips AI speech generation. After full processing completes, the video translator returns separate caption files for a player or editor, alongside an MP4 that keeps the original audio. Eligible accounts can try an opening preview; paid accounts process the whole recording directly.
01
Use a Video Subtitle Translator When the Voice Should Stay
Subtitles suit interviews where the original delivery matters, training recordings with familiar presenters, and clips watched with sound turned down. The audience can read the translated meaning while hearing the original speaker's emphasis, pauses, and reactions. Caption text should help viewers follow that delivery rather than describe every sound in the room.
This workflow translates detected speech. It is not a complete accessibility transcription service for music cues, sound descriptions, or visual information. Add those details in your caption editor when your publishing requirements call for them. On-screen labels and slides also remain in their source language.
02
Check the Transcript Before Polishing the Translation
Speech recognition can mishear a product name, an acronym, or a sentence interrupted by background noise. Start by comparing the source sentence with the recording. A polished translation of a mistaken word is still wrong, especially when the line contains a measurement, a person's name, or a safety instruction.
Read the translated text as it appears; edit sentences in the tool once full processing is complete. Prefer the terminology used in your other materials and keep repeated instructions consistent. For a course lesson, make a short list of important names and terms before uploading. That gives your review a concrete reference instead of relying on whether a sentence merely sounds fluent.
03
Make Captions Readable at the Intended Screen Size
Spanish phrasing can occupy more space than the English source. A technically accurate sentence may feel crowded when a viewer reads it over a fast demonstration. Use clear wording and remove unnecessary repetition while keeping the instruction and its meaning intact.
Check short exchanges separately from long explanations. A brief reply should appear close to the speaker's turn; a dense explanation needs enough reading time. Preview your final caption layout in the player where people will watch it, including on a phone. The video translator supplies timestamps and editable text, while your player controls presentation choices such as caption size and line wrapping.
04
Calculate the Subtitle Credit Charge
Subtitle processing uses 0.25 credits per started minute, then rounds the final total up to a whole credit. A 90-second file counts as two started minutes: two times 0.25 is 0.5, which rounds up to one credit. A five-minute recording costs two credits because 1.25 rounds up to two.
The guest preview covers up to 30 seconds and carries a watermark. Email verification provides three signup credits once, subject to daily network limits, with a one-minute limit for each free full video. Subscribe monthly or annually for monthly credits or buy a one-time credit pack with no expiration. Check the pricing page and the task’s displayed requirement before starting the full version.
05
Download SRT or VTT for Your Publishing Setup
Completed full jobs provide SRT, a common choice when an editor or hosting platform asks for a subtitle file. VTT is often used with web video players. Both downloads contain timed text, rather than a new spoken performance. Keep the subtitle file beside the correct version of the video so later edits do not leave their timings out of step.
Optional subtitle burn-in is free on every video, including previews, and off by default. Attach the chosen track in your destination player or editor. Files are retained for 30 days, so download your deliverables before that period ends. Return to the home video translator if you want to start another task.
Questions about subtitle translation
No, subtitle mode keeps the original audio. Choose standard or premium dubbing if you want translated spoken dialogue instead of a text track.
Only if you choose it. Burn subtitles into video, under Advanced options, adds them to the MP4 in a Social or Classic style at no extra credit, the free preview included. Full videos also come with SRT and VTT files.
The final credit charge rounds up to a whole credit. The subtitle rate is 0.25 credits per started minute, so small totals such as 0.25 or 0.5 still require one credit.
Yes, you can edit translated sentences in the tool after full processing completes. Review the wording against your terminology list and check the updated subtitle output before publishing.
No, this tool begins with an uploaded video file. It generates captions from detected speech; importing an existing subtitle file is not part of this workflow.
