Subtitle Translation That Works on Screen
A subtitle translation is not a transcript translation. Each subtitle segment must be readable within the on-screen duration of the corresponding dialog. Lines that are too long force viewers to read faster than is comfortable. Lines that are broken at the wrong point disrupt comprehension. SRT translation requires subtitlers who understand both the source language and the conventions of subtitle writing in the target language.
We assign native-language subtitlers to every SRT project. Timecodes are preserved and are never altered. If a subtitle segment is too long for its duration due to expansion in the target language, the subtitler condenses the text to fit the timecode while retaining the communicative intent of the original dialog.
Subtitle files are rarely filed officially. The exception is recorded testimony offered as evidence in a state court, where we can deliver the subtitle text as a certified translation with a signed certificate of accuracy. Screenings, press events and festival Q&A sessions can be supported by conference interpreting services, live or online.
Key Features of SRT File Translation
Timecode Preservation
All timecode values (start time, end time) are preserved exactly. The translated SRT file matches the audio and video timeline of your source video.
Reading Speed Compliance
Subtitle line lengths and reading speeds are checked against broadcast and platform standards (typically 17 to 21 characters per second) and adjusted where necessary.
Line Break Optimization
Subtitle text is broken at natural syntactic boundaries, avoiding splits that separate subjects from verbs or adjectives from nouns.
Platform Format Compatibility
Delivered SRT files are tested for compatibility with YouTube, Vimeo, Netflix, LMS platforms, and professional video editing applications.
Who Needs SRT Translation

SRT Translation for In-House Teams
Communications and learning teams send subtitle files for videos in many languages, with timing preserved.
SRT Translation for Nonprofits and Public Agencies
