FAQ

Is this really free?

Yes. No sign-up, no limits, no watermarks.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. Files are read in your browser. Only the text of each subtitle line is sent for translation. Timestamps and file structure stay on your machine.

Can I translate multiple files at once?

Yes, up to 20 files at a time. All are translated into the same target language.

Does it preserve ASS styling?

Yes. Formatting tags are stripped before translation and restored afterwards. Karaoke, positioning, and colours stay intact.

What if translation fails?

The tool uses multiple translation services with automatic fallback. If all fail, you get a clear error โ€” no corrupted output.

How accurate is the translation?

It uses Google Translate, which is good for general-purpose translation. For professional subtitling, treat it as a starting point and review with a native speaker.

Can I translate YouTube subtitles?

Yes. Export from YouTube Studio as SBV, upload here, translate, and re-upload to YouTube.
