Translate Video Subtitles Without Retyping Them
Translate video subtitles in BlitzCut: transcribe your video, translate the transcript, and apply the result as styled captions. One recording, a new audience, no subtitle file wrangling.
Translating subtitles usually means exporting an SRT, running it through a translator, fixing the timing, and importing it back. Every step is a place for the captions to drift away from the speech.
BlitzCut keeps the translation attached to the timing. You transcribe, translate the transcript, check the result, and export. The captions follow the same words and styling you already chose.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I translate video subtitles?
- Transcribe the video, translate the transcript, check the translation, and export captions or an SRT file. In BlitzCut the translation stays attached to the word timing, so you don't re-sync anything.
- Is machine translation accurate enough to publish?
- For simple, clearly spoken content it's often fine. Idioms, humor, and technical terms need a check from someone who speaks the target language before you publish.
- Should I burn translated subtitles into the video or use an SRT file?
- Burned-in captions always show and survive reposts, but viewers can't turn them off. An SRT file can be toggled by the viewer but is stripped when someone re-uploads the clip. Use burned-in for short social video and SRT for YouTube.
- Which languages are supported?
- The app interface is available in 38 languages. Transcription supports multiple spoken languages, and translation targets other languages. Check the app for the current list before planning around a specific one.
