A free subtitle translator for SRT and VTT files
Subtitle Translator helps you turn an existing subtitle file into another language without rebuilding its timestamps. Upload an SRT or VTT file, choose a target language, review the translation and download a file ready for your subtitle workflow. Basic translation, editing and downloads are free.
The subtitle translator uses Google for basic translation and gives you an editable result. You can correct names, adjust wording and make dialogue read more naturally before exporting. Review the translation for context and accuracy; automatic translation can miss meaning, especially in short lines of dialogue.
How to use the free subtitle translator
-
Upload your SRT or VTT file
Upload a plain UTF-8 SRT or VTT file to the free subtitle translator. Your file should already contain subtitle text and timestamps. Each entry keeps its original start and end time.
-
Choose a language for free subtitle translation
Select a target language and start the free Google-powered subtitle translation. For long subtitle files, follow the processing status and check entries whose text has not changed; they may still need translation or may contain names that should stay the same.
-
Review and edit your subtitles
Compare the original text with the translation and make changes. Search the original or translation, browse pages, or move the time slider to find a moment in a long subtitle file.
-
Download translated or bilingual subtitles
Download your edited subtitles for free as SRT or VTT. Choose translated text only, or bilingual subtitles with the original above each translation. Every page is included in the download, even if you have filtered the editor with a search.
Choose the subtitle file you need
Use the SRT subtitle translator for plain SubRip files, or the VTT subtitle translator for plain WebVTT files used in web video workflows. Both share the same translation editor. You can switch the download format without uploading your file again. Advanced styling, positioning and rich-text cues are not supported in this version.
For reviewing dialogue, bilingual subtitles place the original and translated text together in each entry. For a separate translated subtitle track, choose translation only. If you are preparing subtitles for a video project, compare the downloaded file with the video to check wording and readability in context.

Where does my subtitle text go?
Parsing, editing and downloads happen in your browser. Text sent for translation is processed by Google. Your work is not saved after a page reload; download it before leaving.
