Translate course and creator subtitles: export, translate, re-import

A practical workflow for creators who already have an SRT or WebVTT subtitle file. Keep the original edit and use a separate translated subtitle track.

Prepare one subtitle file

Use the finished edit, export its dialogue as UTF-8 SRT, and keep a backup. Check names, spelling and cue times before translating. TranslateSubs accepts SRT and plain WebVTT; it does not accept video, extract audio or preserve ASS animation and positioning.

Subtitle Edit

Open your subtitle, choose SubRip (.srt) in the format selector and save with UTF-8 encoding. Upload that SRT to TranslateSubs, choose the actual source and target language, then Continue to see the exact price. After payment confirmation and queue admission, download the completed SRT. Open the translated file in Subtitle Edit alongside your video to check playback.

Premiere

Start with an existing caption track. Export an SRT sidecar for that sequence, translate the file, then import the downloaded SRT as captions. Keep it as a separate language version of the same edit. Menu labels vary between versions; use Adobe’s caption import/export instructions for yours.

For a course or recurring channel

  1. Start with one lesson and one target language. Check terminology and readability before translating more lessons.
  2. Each file and target language is a separate order and payment. There is no batch checkout or prepaid language bundle.
  3. Save the downloaded result and private access code. Completed files expire after seven days.
  4. If all cues need the same timing adjustment, use the optional timing tool or the free local tool. A fixed shift does not correct progressive drift or a different video edit.

What you pay

No subscription for customers. Outside Thailand: USD1.49 for the first 10,000 subtitle text characters, plus USD0.30 per started additional 10,000. In Thailand: THB25 plus THB10 per additional block. Maximum 60,000 characters, 5,000 cues and 1 MiB per upload. Length determines price, not video duration. Exact price appears after Continue and before payment.

Before publishing

The workflow considers dialogue context and retains original cue times. AI can still misinterpret names, ambiguous speakers or technical language. Check important passages against your source and play the result with the final edit. Test examples took around 10–15 minutes after translation started; queues and provider delays add time.
