Timing untouched
Every timestamp, cue order, and cue count survives. The translated file drops straight into your player.
Media utilities
Translate a caption file into 19 languages. Timestamps, order, and formatting stay exactly as they are.
What it does
Only the cue text changes. Timestamps, cue order, and caption structure stay byte-for-byte in place.
Every timestamp, cue order, and cue count survives. The translated file drops straight into your player.
Cues are translated for reading speed: concise, spoken language, close to the source length.
Line breaks and bold, italic, and underline tags stay on the words they belong to.
How to use it
In depth
Subtitle translation has strict space and time limits. A caption has about two lines and a few seconds. The tool produces concise spoken text that stays close to the source length, so viewers have time to read it.
Structure matters as much as wording. Players bind cues to timestamps, so a translator that merges two short cues or splits a long one produces captions that drift out of sync. Here the cue grid is untouchable by design: the model translates text inside each cue, and the file is reassembled onto the original timing in your browser.
One pass of human review still earns its cost for published work: check names, product terms, and any phrase where your organization has an official translation. The point of the tool is to remove the mechanical 95%, not the editorial 5%.
Captions are usually where localization starts, not where it ends. When the same video needs translated audio, player controls, buttons, and in-video questions, that is the job Mindstamp’s video translation was built for: one video, one link, every language.

No. The file is parsed and reassembled in your browser; only cue text goes out for translation. Timing, order, and cue settings come back exactly as they were.
No. Cue text is processed once to produce the translation. It is not retained or used for training, and the file stays in your browser.
Up to 400 cues per run: roughly 30 to 40 minutes of dialogue. For longer videos, split the file and translate each part.
Yes: skim it as you would any translation. Check names, product terms, and phrases your organization translates a specific way.
