Video Subtitle Translator
This video subtitle translator starts with a video from your device. It turns speech into original subtitles, translates them, and lets you watch both languages together. Download each subtitle track as an SRT file.

Three-step workflow
How the video subtitle translator works
- 01
Upload a video file
Choose an MP4, WebM, or MOV file stored on your computer or device. The video subtitle translator starts with the video itself, so you do not need an existing SRT file.
- 02
Choose the languages
Use automatic detection or select the language spoken in the video, then choose the language you want to read. The video subtitle translator keeps the source and target languages separate.
- 03
Watch and download
Preview the video with the original and translated subtitle tracks, then download each synchronized SRT file produced by the video subtitle translator.
When to use it
Built for videos you have, but cannot yet understand
A video subtitle translator is useful when the material already exists as a file, but a subtitle track in a language you understand does not. The focus here is bilingual watching, not dubbing or replacing the original audio.
The available subtitles are in the wrong language
The video subtitle translator generates a subtitle track in the language you need while retaining the original-language transcript for context.
The video is stored on your device
Upload a downloaded video, course recording, documentary, animation, or another local file to the video subtitle translator instead of relying on a public video URL.
You want to see both languages
The video subtitle translator lets you follow the translated meaning while keeping the original words visible in the same video preview.
Video in, subtitles out
What this video subtitle translator actually does
It translates speech from the video—not only subtitle text
A conventional subtitle translator usually expects an SRT or VTT file. This video subtitle translator accepts the video file, extracts its spoken content, and creates the first timed subtitle track before translation begins. That distinction matters when your movie, lesson, recording, or documentary has no usable subtitles at all.
It preserves the source language beside the translation
The video subtitle translator does not discard the transcription after translation. It keeps both synchronized tracks, allowing you to compare the words that were spoken with the translated meaning while the video plays.
It produces reusable subtitle files
After processing, the video subtitle translator provides one SRT file for the source language and another for the target language. You can keep the files with the original video or load them in a compatible video player later.
Translation output
Two synchronized subtitle tracks, one video preview
The video subtitle translator separates transcription from translation so the source language remains available alongside the language you want to read.
Original-language SRT
A timed transcription of the speech in the uploaded video.
Translated SRT
A second timed subtitle file in your selected target language.
Bilingual preview
The original and translated subtitles displayed with the completed video.
Language video translators
Start with a preselected language pair
Use a language-specific page when you already know what is spoken in the video. The source and English subtitle languages will be ready before you select your file.
