SUBTITLE TRANSLATION

Subtitles translated on the same timings.

Upload an SRT or VTT file: every subtitle is translated alongside its neighbours, each one's number and timing stay exactly as they were, and the lines are broken again so they read well on screen.

WHY GOFTITO

What keeps subtitles watchable

Timings, to the millisecond

Every subtitle's number and timing line are copied unchanged and only the text is replaced, so the translated subtitles stay in sync with the same video and need no re-timing. In a VTT file the header and cue positions stay the same too.

Lines are broken again

A translation usually runs longer than the original. Every line is at most 42 characters and the text is spread over the lines at word boundaries; if it doesn't fit in two, a third line follows, because cutting text is worse than one more line.

Names, numbers and units, as they are

Device and software names, abbreviations and figures stay exactly as they are, and a number is never split from its unit across two lines: "250 A" stays on one line.

The field's own terms

The technical, medical or scientific terms of a training video are translated with their proper equivalents, and with your own glossary you decide the equivalent of any term yourself.

Each speaker on their own line

In a two-person dialogue, a line that starts with a dash is the next speaker's, and it keeps its own line in the translation so the two sentences don't read as one.

Automatic quality checks

The figures, addresses and identifiers of every subtitle are compared with the original, and a faulty subtitle is repaired automatically before delivery.

AGAINST TRADITIONAL TRANSLATION

How it differs from ordering subtitle translation the traditional way

Traditional translation Goftito
Timings Traditional The translator works in subtitle software and keeps the timings by hand. Goftito Every subtitle's number and timing are copied automatically and unchanged.
Line length Traditional How lines are broken depends on the translator's care. Goftito Every line at most 42 characters, the same in every subtitle.
Reading speed Traditional A subtitler shortens a sentence so it can be read in the time it is shown. Goftito The translation is complete and isn't shortened; a wordy subtitle may need a third line.
Time and cost Traditional Usually a few days, depending on the video's length; the price comes after a quote. Goftito Usually minutes; the cost is estimated before it starts and only what is used is charged.

HOW IT WORKS

From file to finished document in four steps

  1. Step 01

    Upload the subtitle file

    SRT or VTT, the file that sits next to the video.

  2. Step 02

    Choose the target language

    And, if you like, a translation mode and your own glossary.

  3. Step 03

    See the estimate first

    Size and cost are shown before the translation starts.

  4. Step 04

    Download the translated file

    The same format on the same timings; put it next to the video.

FAQ

Good to know before you start

Short answers to the questions people ask most.

Didn't find your answer? After signing in, open a support ticket; we'll text you when it's answered. Open a ticket
01 Which subtitle formats does it accept?

SRT and WebVTT (VTT). The translated file comes back in the format you uploaded.

02 Won't the subtitle timings break?

No. Every subtitle's number and timing line are copied unchanged and only the text is replaced; the translated subtitles stay in sync with the same video.

03 What about a sentence split across two subtitles?

Every subtitle is read together with the ones before and after it, so the sentence comes out right; but each subtitle's translation holds only its own text and shows at its own time.

04 Do I upload the video too?

No, just the subtitle file. Goftito doesn't turn speech into text from the audio; if a video has no separate subtitles, its subtitle file has to be made first.

05 Which languages does it translate?

10 languages: English, Persian, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Russian, Arabic and Turkish, from any of them into any other. Subtitles have no layout to mirror; only the text changes and the timings stay the same.

Every language and direction

06 How do I know the cost?

After you upload, the file is analysed and its size and approximate cost are shown before the translation starts.
