How to Translate Subtitles (SRT & VTT) with AI
Translated subtitles open your videos to a global audience without re-recording anything. The Subtitle Translator takes an SRT or VTT file and translates the captions into another language with AI, keeping every timestamp exactly in place.
Why translate your captions
Adding subtitles in a second or third language can multiply your reach, especially on YouTube and social platforms where viewers come from everywhere. Because only the text changes and the timing stays put, the translated subtitles sync perfectly with the original video.
How to translate subtitles
- Open the Subtitle Translator and drop in your SRT or VTT file. 2. Choose a target language from 15+ options. 3. Translate, then download the new subtitle file with the timing preserved. The text is translated by AI on the edge.
Getting good translations
Start from an accurate source file — clean up the original with the Subtitle Converter first if needed. Machine translation is excellent for most content, but for high-stakes material a quick human review is wise. Don't have captions yet? Generate them with the Video Caption Generator.
