Free Subtitle & SRT Translator - 13+ Languages | 2026

Overview

Translating subtitles by hand is tedious, and pasting them into a generic translator destroys the timestamps that keep captions in sync. A subtitle translator understands the SRT/VTT format: it translates the dialogue between 13+ languages while leaving the timing codes untouched, so the result drops straight back into your video. It auto-detects the format, works on SRT, VTT, and plain text, and is free with no sign-up or API key required.

How to Use (Step by Step)

1. 1

   Add your subtitles

   Drop an .srt or .vtt file, or paste subtitle text. The format is detected automatically and timestamps are kept.

2. 2

   Choose source and target languages

   Pick the language to translate from and to. Auto-detection helps if you're unsure of the source.

3. 3

   Translate and download

   Get the translated file with timing intact. Review for context, then download or copy.

How It Works

The tool parses your subtitle file, separating the timestamp lines from the dialogue lines. Only the text is sent to a translation service (MyMemory) and translated into your chosen target language; the timing blocks are preserved exactly. The translated lines are reassembled into a valid subtitle file in the original format. Plain text is translated as-is. Format detection is automatic, so you don't have to specify SRT vs. VTT.

When to Use This

Localizing your own videos for an international audience. Translating downloaded subtitles into your native language to follow along. Producing multi-language caption files for a course or webinar. Quickly understanding foreign-language subtitles. Translating a transcript or text snippet between languages. Pairing with a subtitle extractor: pull burned-in captions to SRT, then translate them.
