Questions about subtitle translation

Can I check technical terms and long German sentences?

Yes. Compare each original line with the English and edit the wording beside the video. Check compound words, names and specialist terms in context. For the reverse direction, select German as the target language.

Can I translate an existing SRT file?

Yes. Open the SRT in Translator and translate its text without recreating the subtitles. The original timings are retained. Load the matching video to check the result before exporting.

What if my video has no subtitles?

Create subtitles from the speech first. Check the transcript for missing words and incorrect names, then translate it. Errors in the source transcript can carry into the translation.

Is subtitle translation free?

The app is free to download. AI tasks may have a cost: use Stage5 credits or connect your own AI service. Check the selected option in the app before starting a task.

Can I use Translator on my phone?

Translator is a desktop app for Mac and Windows. On a phone, use the send-yourself-the-link panel and open the download link on your computer.
