Understand this tool
SRT and VTT formats
SRT uses numbered cues and comma timecodes; WebVTT starts with WEBVTT and uses dot timecodes. This tool reads both, treats cue text as the translatable part, and leaves timing and structure in place for download.
Request splitting
Subtitle text is extracted locally and sent to DeepSeek in parts of up to 500 characters. Before starting, the page shows how many requests are needed. Each successful request uses one daily free translation or one credit.
Reference guide
| Input | Rule | Result |
|---|---|---|
| 00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:03,000 | Keep timing line unchanged | Same timing line in output |
| Cue identifier: intro | Preserve identifier | intro remains above translated cue |
| <b>text</b> | Keep simple markup around translated text | <b>texto</b> |
Timecode and cue preservation
SRT and VTT timing lines are parsed locally. The tool keeps start and end timecodes, cue sequence numbers or cue identifiers, and line breaks. Only cue text is sent for translation, so the subtitle structure remains available for original-format download.
Bilingual output structure
After translation, you can download the original subtitle format or a bilingual version. Bilingual output places the translated line under the original cue text within the same timecode block, so supported players and editors can display both languages together.
| Input | Rule | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Hello. | Translate cue text | Hola. |
| Hello.\nThank you. | Translate each line | Hola.\nGracias. |
| Original-format download | Keep SRT or VTT structure | Timecodes and cue order preserved |
Ways to use this tool
Translate a class video for Spanish speakers
If you teach a short lesson recorded with English SRT subtitles, upload the file, check the request count, and translate cue text into Spanish. Review terms, then download the bilingual VTT for learners who want to compare both languages line by line.
Prepare bilingual interview captions
For a short interview clip, paste the English SRT, translate cues into Spanish, and download the bilingual subtitle file. Editors can check both languages against the same timecodes, then correct names, jargon, or idioms before publishing.
Localize product demo subtitles
A product team can translate a demo VTT cue text into Spanish while preserving cue identifiers used by the video editor. The original-format download keeps timing aligned, so the localized subtitle track can be imported without rebuilding every cue.
Check subtitle terminology before recording
Writers can paste a few SRT cues, translate them into Spanish, and review word choices for a voice-over script. The bilingual download helps compare source and target lines, making it easier to adjust phrasing before recording final audio.
What you can do

Preserve subtitle structure
Upload or paste SRT and VTT files. The tool keeps timecodes, cue numbers, cue identifiers, and simple markup, then translates only the cue text lines.
Download original or bilingual
After translation, download the subtitle file in its original SRT or VTT format, or choose a bilingual version that keeps original text and translated text in the same cue block.
See request count first
Extracted text is split into DeepSeek requests of up to 500 characters. Before translation starts, the page displays the number of requests so you know the daily free or credit usage.
Stop and resume in session
You can stop a translation and resume it during the same browser session. Files are parsed locally, and the translation text limit is 20,000 characters.
