What stays intact in your SRT file
SRT separates structure from dialogue. Doc2Lang leaves the structural lines in place and translates the subtitle text.

00:01:11,500 --> 00:01:14,417
<i>Out of the way, dorkwad!</i>- Sequence numbers
- Cue numbers remain in the same order, so the translated file stays readable by SRT-compatible players and editors.
- Start and end timestamps
- Existing timecodes are copied to the translated SRT. The service does not generate or automatically re-sync your timeline.
- Basic text tags
- Basic inline tags are separated from the dialogue during translation and reapplied to the translated line. Review unusual or malformed markup before publishing.

This is a real English-to-Spanish product sample. It demonstrates SRT structure preservation; translation quality should still be reviewed for your audience and style guide.
Translate an SRT file into English
Choose a common task or select another pair in the uploader. Doc2Lang supports 100+ languages without creating a separate page for every pair.
These shortcuts preselect the uploader. They do not create separate language-pair pages or change the original SRT timestamps.
What to review before publishing
A translated SRT is ready to edit, but subtitle quality also depends on terminology, line length, reading speed, and the surrounding video.
- Names, terminology, and tone
- Check character names, product terms, jokes, and the level of formality. Add a glossary or context in the upload flow when consistency matters.
- Line length and breaks
- Translation can make a cue longer or shorter. Preview the result in your player and reflow lines that are difficult to read on screen.
- Reading speed and synchronization
- Doc2Lang preserves your timecodes instead of retiming them. Fast dialogue and large length differences between languages may need a final timing pass.
How SRT translation works
- 1
Upload the existing SRT
Drop a .srt file into the uploader and choose the source and target languages. If you only have a video, use the video translation workflow first.
- 2

Review a translated portion of the file before purchase. The full-file price is shown before you confirm, with no subscription required.
- 3
Download and review the full SRT
After purchase, download the complete translated .srt and check it in the video player or subtitle editor you use for delivery.
Built for existing subtitle workflows
Video creators and independent productions
Translate subtitles you already exported from YouTube, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or another editor, then import the translated SRT back into your publishing workflow.
Courses, webinars, and training videos
Reuse the same timeline across languages while reviewing technical vocabulary, speaker tone, and line length for learners and international teams.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers about SRT files, timestamps, pricing, formats, and privacy.
Is the SRT translator completely free?
The preview is free so you can inspect part of the translated SRT before paying. Translating and downloading the complete file is paid per file; there is no required subscription.
Will translation change my SRT timestamps?
No. Existing sequence numbers and start/end timestamps are preserved. Doc2Lang translates the dialogue but does not automatically re-sync or generate a new timeline.
What happens to italic or other inline tags?
Basic inline tags are removed from the text sent for translation and then reapplied to the translated line. Check complex, unusual, or malformed markup in your subtitle editor before publishing.
Can I translate VTT, WebVTT, ASS, or SSA files?
Yes. Doc2Lang supports those subtitle formats directly, but each has different structure and styling rules. Use the dedicated WebVTT or ASS/SSA translator instead of converting the file to SRT first.
Can this page create an SRT from a video?
No. This page translates an SRT file you already have. If your starting point is a video or audio file, use the video translation workflow to recognize the speech and create timed subtitles first.
Which languages can I translate an SRT into?
Doc2Lang supports 100+ languages. Choose the source and target in the uploader; for the best result, review names, terminology, tone, and line length in the target language.
How long is my subtitle file stored?
Uploads and downloads use encrypted connections. You can delete the file manually when you are done, and remaining files are automatically deleted after 14 days.
Start with the file you actually have
Use the translator built for your subtitle format, or create subtitles first when your source is video.
Translate WebVTT files
Keep WebVTT headers, cue settings, and timestamps in a .vtt workflow.
Translate ASS or SSA subtitles
Use the format-specific translator for styled dialogue, events, and ASS/SSA metadata.
Compare subtitle formats
Choose between SRT, WebVTT, and ASS/SSA for your platform and editing needs.
Translate a video into subtitles
Recognize speech, translate it, and download timed subtitles when you do not have an SRT yet.
