Subtitle Translate
Translate an SRT/VTT/ASS subtitle file with AI — no video upload, no transcription
Translation that respects the timeline
No Video Upload
Upload the subtitle file alone — SRT, VTT or ASS — and AI translates every line in context without re-transcribing the audio or video.
Timings Stay Exact
Every timestamp is preserved, so the translated file drops straight into your video with no re-syncing between the original and translated lines.
Four Formats Out
Choose SRT, VTT, ASS or plain TXT for the result, and optionally a bilingual file with the original line kept above each translation.
How it works
- 1
Upload your SRT, VTT or ASS/SSA subtitle file.
- 2
Pick a target language and output format.
- 3
Download the translated file — timings are untouched.
Frequently asked questions
Does this work on any subtitle file?⌄
Any SRT, VTT or ASS/SSA file with real timed cues. A file that's just plain text with no timestamps isn't a subtitle file yet — use our free Subtitle Converter, or AI Subtitles (which transcribes a video from scratch), instead.
Is this the same translation as AI Subtitles?⌄
Yes — same AI, same in-context batch translation. This tool skips the video upload and transcription step entirely: if you already have a subtitle file, this is the faster, cheaper way to just get it translated.
What languages are supported?⌄
English, Simplified/Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Russian and Hindi.

What Is Subtitle Translation?
Subtitle translation converts an existing subtitle file from one language to another using AI — without uploading a video and without re-transcribing anything. This tool takes an SRT, VTT or ASS/SSA file, translates every line in context, and lets you choose the output format — SRT, VTT, ASS or TXT — plus an optional bilingual version with the original line kept above the translation. It is for people who already have subtitles and just need them in another language. Because the timings are preserved exactly, the translated file drops straight into your video with no re-syncing — a real time-saver for editors and localizers.

Only the subtitle text is sent to our AI for translation — no video, no audio, no re-transcription — and the run consumes a small number of credits. Because the translation happens in context rather than word by word, pronouns and terminology stay consistent across the file. The timings of your original file are preserved exactly; what changes is the text. For best results, start from a clean, complete subtitle file.
