Features

Translate Text translates what you paste, or a TXT, SRT, VTT or Markdown file up to 2 MB, between English, Vietnamese and 12 more languages with the NLLB machine translation model running on BigQTools servers. Subtitles are translated line by line with their timings and numbering left as they were, so the file goes straight back into your video editor. The translation sits next to the original so you can fix lines before downloading.

  • Translates between English, Vietnamese, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Hindi, Indonesian and Thai.
  • Detects the source language, or set it yourself for short text or text that mixes languages.
  • SRT and VTT subtitles keep the timing and number of every cue.
  • Paste text or pick a TXT, SRT, VTT or Markdown file up to 2 MB; translated files keep the original format.
  • Original and translation side by side, with every translated line editable on the page.
  • Characters per run depend on your plan; files are deleted from the server after 2 hours.

Frequently asked questions

How accurate is the translation?

It is machine translation, good for understanding content and for subtitles. Legal text, contracts and marketing copy should be reviewed by someone fluent in the language before you use them.

Will translated subtitles go out of sync?

No. With Keep timings and cue numbers on, only the words are translated; the timing and number of every SRT or VTT cue stay exactly as in your file.

How much text can I translate at once?

It depends on your plan. The counter at the text box shows your limit, and characters in a file count too. Files can be up to 2 MB. Signing in for free lets you translate longer text in one go.

Is my text stored?

Your text and the result file are deleted from BigQTools servers after 2 hours, and you can delete them right away. BigQTools does not use your text to train AI.
